Editing Pro Tools (section)

=== Session data exchange ===
Session data can be partially or entirely exchanged with other DAWs or video editing software that support [[Advanced Authoring Format|AAF]], [[Open Media Framework Interchange|OMF]], or [[Material Exchange Format|MXF]]. AAF and OMF sequences embed audio and video files with their metadata; when opened by the destination application, session structure is rebuilt with the original clip placement, edits, and basic track and clip automation.{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=19–23|loc=2. Pro Tools Concepts}}

Track contents and any of its properties can be selectively exchanged between Pro Tools sessions with Import Session Data (for example, importing audio clips from an external session to a designated track while keeping track settings or importing track inserts while keeping audio clips).{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=420–421|loc=20. Importing and Exporting Session Data}} Similarly, the same track data for any track set—a given processing chain, a collection of clips, or a group of tracks with their assignments—can be stored and recalled as Track Presets.{{Sfn|Avid|2019|p=267–270|loc=14.
