Exporting Clip Definitions

Pro Tools stores clip definitions for audio files within each session. If you want to use an audio file’s clips in another session, or with another application that supports them, you can export the clip information.

If you plan to transfer Pro Tools session data to another session, you should export clip definitions for sessions containing multiple takes created with Loop Record.

The Export Clip Definitions command does not export clips as audio files (unlike the Export Clips as Files command). Instead, it stores pointers to the clips within the parent source file.

To export clip definitions for an audio file:

1 In the Clip List, select any clips or clip groups for which you want to export definitions. You do not have to select the parent file audio clip.

2 Choose Export Clip Definitions from the Clip List menu.

3 Click Export.
