Exporting Session Information as Text

For more information, see the following topics:

Exported Session Text Files

You can use the Export Session Info as Text command to create a text file that contains extensive information about your session.

This text file can contain a list of audio files, audio clips, audio track EDL (Edit Decision List) information, extended timestamp information, and information about crossfades.

Track EDLs are exported as tab-delimited text, with tabs between each column heading, and tabs between each event parameter. You can use this data in a program for reading EDLs, or you can format the EDL data into tables using a word processor or spreadsheet application.

To export session information as text:

1 Choose File > Export > Session Info as Text.

2 Select whether to include the File List, Clip List, and track EDLs.

3 If you choose to include track EDLs, select whether to show subframes, and whether to include user timestamps. Also select an option for crossfade handling.

4 If you choose to include track EDLs, select the Time Format for the exported session text from the pop-up menu.

5 Select the File Format for exported text using the pop-up menu.

6 When you have set your options, click OK.

7 Select a location and type a filename for the exported text file. In Windows, Pro Tools adds the correct 3-letter filename extension, while on the Mac, the file extension “.txt” is added.
