Highlight all of the new regions in the window that you want to export. Make sure to not select the
original capture of the tape, as this would make an unnecessary copy of this media. From the Audio
Regions pop-up menu, which is opened by clicking on the gray bar at the top of the region list, select
Export Regions as Files (see Figure 3.6).
Figure 3.6 Pro Tools export region as fi les. This function creates new media from sub-clips in the
region bin
This will open the Export Selected window. From here, you can export the regions in their original
format, change them to a new sample rate or format and even pull up or pull down, as can be seen
in Figure 3.9. You will likely want to keep your audio in its original format, but you may need to
pull down. In the sample rate menu, you will fi nd several sample rates as well as sample rates for
pulling up and down. There are even sample rates here for changing 29.97 FPS NTSC to 25 FPS
PAL. The sample rate you will use to pull down to match telecined fi lm is 47,952. This will slow
your audio by the needed .1 percent.
