- Before we begin, I want to point out a few important items about the Final Cut Pro 10 Pro Tools workflow. With the release of Final Cut Pro 10, for better or for worse, Apple removed the longstanding convention of using a file format called OMF, or Open Media Framework to export audio information to Pro Tools and other programs. Now Apple uses XML, or Extensible Markup Language files to export audio and other information out of Final Cut Pro. Unfortunately as of now, Pro Tools and other audio applications do not inherently know how to read or import an XML file. So in this course, we'll be using a third application called X2Pro Audio Convert. X2Pro Audio Convert is able to read the exported XML file and convert it to an AAF file, Advanced Authoring Format file. This file is a supported Avid and Pro Tools file type that can be imported into Pro Tools. A quick word about Pro Tools, we'll be using Pro Tools 10 in this course, but as of Pro Tools 9, you can run all versions of Pro Tools…
