Importing Sessions and Tracks by Drag and Drop

Session files can be dragged into the current session to import (and spot) audio, video, MIDI, clip group, REX and ACID files, tracks, and session data.

Dragging a session to the Clip List imports all the clips from that session (without importing tracks).

Dragging a session to a track in Pro Tools lets you import tracks.

Dragging a session to a track playlist in Pro Tools opens the Import Session Data dialog, letting you select tracks and attributes to import. The imported session data will begin wherever you drop the session in the Timeline.

To import tracks and other session data by drag and drop:

1 Open a browser.

2 Drag a Pro Tools session file, or an AAF or OMF sequence, into the current session, as follows:

Drag onto an existing track to overlay or overwrite data on the target tracks. Hold the Shift key while dragging if you intend to replace the current track playlists with those being imported (the Shift key pre-configures the settings in the Import Session Data dialog).

Drag to empty space in the Edit window to create new tracks for the imported session data.

Configure the Import Session Data options (see Import Session Data Dialog).
