Export OMF From Avid Media Composer to Reaper

Media Composer can export a sequence's audio as an OMF file for a sound editor or mixer to bring into another DAW — including, once converted, Reaper.

OMF actually originated at Avid, so it's no surprise Media Composer still supports exporting to it — it's the classic hand-off format from picture editing to audio post.

From Media Composer, use File > Export and choose OMF Interchange (or AAF, if that's what your workflow calls for — check with whoever's picking up the audio which one they need).

Reaper doesn't open an .omf file directly, so the next step is converting it into a Reaper project.

You can convert your OMF file for free here.
