Saving Sessions from PT-LE to ProTools Free, PROTOOLS Options

[bdeivert]

I use Protools LE and want to give a friend a session who has ProTools Free. I saved it as copy and gave it to him. he could use all the audio files by importing them but the session Timeline itself was unavailable. Any idea how i can save this so he can use it?

cheers

did he use only the audio files or did he use the actual 'session' file you had saved? If he is just importing audio files from your session... then there is no way for him to import just a timeline... he needs to use the actual session file you saved from PT. That little file is the file that will have all that info. If you are trying to merge one session to another... I would suggest mapping on paper your timeline and then just have him match his session file to yours if he just wants to pull audio files in or use your session file and import his audio.

if you can't open the session file, you could consolidate each audio track at the same starting point (select all track, and do alt-shit-3), in the original session, and them in the destination session, you just have to import all the 'consolidated' audio files (using Import AudioTrack, in the file menu, wil put each file on a new track, at the same location...).

fast and easy!
