OMF Import with video

Post by nz » Sat Jul 15, 2006 1:31 pm

I suspect that this feature is not included in the video addition to Live, but I wanted to see if OMF import/export might be included and here is why it is so important:

Working with video and various project, most come from the producer for music and or/sound design in OMF form that locks to a pre existing Final Cut Pro or Avid session. In most cases, production houses will have most of the content tweaked and placed with mixing automation in place. It is sort of a "hand-off" to the composer or post production person (Me!). Without OMF import, everything must be rebuilt from scratch and this is unacceptable in most cases.

I'm sure that this is a high end feature that might not have figured into the whole video side of things, but one that would totally put Live in step to be the defacto standard for video. That feature alone would be the post Pro Tools/Nuendo killer. There would be no better program to do this kind of work in at that point.

Video included in Live 6 is MAJOR, but this could really change things.

Is there any chance of this?!?! Please?!?!?
