Track Data to be Imported

Events and Parts

Imports only events and parts.

Note

If the imported track contains track versions, these are also imported.
If events or parts are imported to an existing track, a new track version is created.

Channel and Inspector Settings

Imports all track settings, for example, volume, panning, EQ, channel strip and Inspector settings, output routing, sends, cues, VCA connections, and plug-ins.

Note

The track settings for read/write automation status, record enable, monitor, muting/soloing, and visibility are not imported from other projects.

Automation

Imports all automation data that is related to the imported track data.

Note

If this option is deactivated when importing events or settings to an existing track, its automation data is reset.

Project Settings

Source Project/Active Project: Shows the file name, the sample rate, the frame rate, and the project start time for both the imported tracks and your active project.

Note
Imported tracks may contain media files with a sample rate that differs from the sample rate of your destination project. Files with a sample rate different from the one of the destination project play back at the wrong speed and pitch.

Import Position for Events and Parts

Import at Absolute Position: Places imported track data at its original timecode position in your active project.
Import at Relative Position: Places imported track data relative to the start time of your active project, taking the start time of the source project into account. For example, if the source project starts at timecode 01:00:00:00, with an event located at 02:00:00:00, and if the active project starts at 02:00:00:00, the imported event is placed at timecode 03:00:00:00.
Import at Cursor Position: Places imported track data relative to the cursor position in your active project, taking the start time of the source project into account. For example, if the source project starts at timecode 01:00:00:00, with an event located at 02:00:00:00, and if the cursor in your active project is located at 02:00:00:00, the imported event is placed at timecode 03:00:00:00.

Note

If the start time of your active project is later than the position of imported track data in the source project, the imported data is not visible in the active project after import. In this case, adjust the start time of the active project accordingly.
If the end time your active project is earlier than the end time of the imported track data, the end time of your project is modified accordingly.
If you have selected a signature track for import, Import at Cursor Position is not available.

Media Files

Copy to Active Project Folder: Copies the media files of the imported tracks to your active project folder. If this option is deactivated, the media file path of the original project is referenced.
Convert Sample Rate: Converts the sample rate of the imported tracks to the sample rate of your active project.

Note
This option is available only if the sample rates of the imported tracks and of your active project differ and if Copy to Active Project Folder is activated.
