Pro Audio Support

Q:
What are the differences between DigiTranslator and OMF Tool? Why is OMF Tool a free utility while DigiTranslator is purchased software?
 
A:
OMF Tool as a utility is very limited in scope. DigiTranslator is an application that adds much more functionality to OMF interchange than OMF Tool and greatly streamlines the interchange process.Here are the main features of DigiTranslator 2.0 that integrates with Pro Tools 5.1.3.- Import and export of OMF audio/video files and sequences directly into Pro Tools 5.1.3 sessions without launching a separate application - Translation of both clip-based and key frame volume data into Pro Tools breakpoint automation playlists - Choice of importing either rendered audio effects or their untreated source files - Now supports import/export of 24-bit OMF files, and reads and writes Broadcast WAV (.WAV) files, as well as AIFF and Sound Designer II OMF audio files - Integrated frame rate, sample rate and bit-depth conversion Embedded-media OMF sequences play back without time-consuming extractions - Creates sample-accurate exports of Pro Tools audio and session files for Avid and other OMF 2.0-capable systems - Specifically engineered and tested to deliver reliable interchange with Avid picture workstations
