Menu labels and support vary by app, OS and version. Preserve the original before making changes.
Troubleshooting by symptom
- No audio: check referenced media.
- Old SES fails: distinguish legacy SES support from SESX.
- FX differs: compare plug-ins/settings.
- Partial silence: inspect mute/solo and I/O.
SESX → mix audio / OMF
- Use mixdown for finished audio or session interchange for further editing.
- Reopen the output and check it against the preservation points in this guide before handoff.
Mixes lack session structure; interchange does not preserve every effect.
Deliver the session and media together
Absolute references can fail elsewhere; test a collected export in a separate folder.
