button. Select the desired edl file in the Open file-browser window. The CMX EDL Import Options dialog
opens:
If the EDL Frame Rate is correct, simply click the OK button. Otherwise, select the correct rate from the
drop down list and click the OK button. The CMX EDL Import Options main dialog opens.The Settings
Presets buttons at the bottom of the box set the options for a variety of common CMX variants. If the
edl you wish to import matches one of these, simply click the appropriate Preset button. The settings
are reflected in the rest of the dialog. Click the OK button to begin the Import.
If the edl is not one of the common variants or the intention is to perform a partial or re-conform, make
the appropriate choices in the dialog before clicking on the OK button to begin the Import.

OMF

OMF Import supports both OMF1 and OMF 2 format. Supports 10.5.3 / 11 sub-compositions.
When exporting OMF from another application, there is a choice of either embedding the audio files into
the OMF file, or keeping them external as a link. Pyramix supports both approaches.
When importing an OMF file with embedded audio, Pyramix will ask if the user wants to extracts the
media files. Please answer Yes to this question only the first time the OMF file is imported. The OMF
Media Handler also generates an external Waveform (.pk) file.
If the same file is imported a second time, there's no need to extract the audio twice, simply mount the
folder where it's been extracted to, prior to importing the OMF file.
When importing an OMF file that references (links) to external audio files, the folder(s) that contain the-
ses files must be Mounted in Pyramix before importing the OMF file. (This also applies to Sonic Solu-
tions import).
Avid and AudioVision bins may be imported as a library. Select:
Library > Import OMF library (Avid bin)
Note: Known limitation: OMF import doesn't support 24bits files for now.
