Exporting Stereo or Multichannel
Interleaved Files
You can use the Export Regions as Files com-
mand to export audio regions to stereo or mul-
tichannel interleaved files for use in other appli-
cations. (Pro Tools cannot use interleaved files
directly in the timeline—these must be con-
verted into multi-mono files.) For example, for
this to work with a stereo file, the selected re-
gions must have identical names with ".L" and
".R" suffixes (for instance, vocals_01.L and
vocals_01.R). These regions appear as a stereo re-
gion in the Region List.
Pro Tools HD also lets you bounce multichannel
interleaved files of any supported file type.
To export regions as a stereo or multichannel
interleaved file:
Select the stereo or multichannel audio region
1
in the Region List or in the track playlist. If the
regions appear on mono tracks in the session,
select the two mono regions.
From the Region List pop-up menu, choose
2
Export Regions as Files.
In the Export Selected dialog, select "Stereo
3
Interleaved" in the Format pop-up menu. For
multichannel regions, the Stereo Interleaved op-
tion produces a multichannel interleaved file.
Configure any other output settings, then
4
click Export to export the new stereo interleaved
file.

Exporting Region Definitions
Pro Tools stores region definitions for audio files
within each session. If you want to use an audio
file's regions in another session, or with another
application that supports them, you can export
the region information.
If you plan to transfer Pro Tools session
data to another session, you should export
region definitions for sessions containing
multiple takes created with Loop Record.
The Export Region Definitions command does
not export regions as audio files (unlike the Ex-
port Regions as Files command). Instead, it
stores pointers to the regions within the parent
source file.
To export region definitions for an audio file:
In the Region List, select any regions or region
1
groups for which you want to export defini-
tions. You do not have to select the parent file
audio region.
Choose Export Region Definitions from the
2
Region List pop-up menu.
Click Export.
