Q: I wanted to import an edited region from a Pro Tools Session into the Session I was working on, but found that only the whole audio file was available. Is there a way to do this?
A: Pro Tools stores all the region information within the Session and not the parent audio file. You can copy the region data from a Session into an audio file by selecting the appropriate region in the region list and choosing ‘Export Region Definitions’ from the ‘Audio’ pop-up menu. The region information will then be written into the parent audio file, and the next time you try to import the file into a Session, you will have a choice of importing the whole file or the exported region or regions.
