Export Selected Tracks as New Session

Pro Tools lets you export any selected tracks in a session as a new session. This command replaces the Export Session Data command in lower versions of Pro Tools. This feature is especially useful in collaborative situations.

For example, you might be working on a large post-production session and you want your collaborator to work on only some dialog in the session while you continue working on other parts of the session. You can now select the dialog tracks and export them as a new session. Your collaborator can then open the new session and edit the dialog. When your collaborator is done, you can import the session data from the dialog session to update the dialog tracks in your big session.

To export selected tracks as a new session:

1 Select the tracks you want to export as a new session.

2 Choose File > Export > Selected Tracks As New Session. The Save Session Copy dialog opens. (You can also open the Save Session Copy dialog by choosing File > Save Copy In.)

3 In the Save Session Copy dialog, verify that the Selected Tracks Only option is enabled.

4 Configure the Session Format and Session Parameters settings and options.

5 Configure the Items to Copy settings and options.

6 You can also enable the Main Playlist Only option if you don’t want to include any of the alternate playlists associated with any of the selected tracks in the new session.

7 Click OK. The Save dialog opens.

8 In the Save dialog, name the session.

9 Navigate to where you want to save the session.

10 Click Save.

A copy of the session that contains only the selected tracks from the source session is saved to the specified location.
