Avid Editing Application
ReadMe for Media Composer® v2022.12.3

Changed in Media Composer v2022.12.3
The following have changed with Media Composer v2022.12.3:
Improvements to Pro Tools Session Export

This release includes improvements to the Pro Tools Session export process. These changes
include the ability to export differences by comparing the entire contents of a bin (not just media
files in individual sequences) when the “Ask to Exclude Audio Media from a PreviousSequence” or “Ask to Exclude Video Media from a Previous Sequence” options are selected forthe “Copy All Media” and “Consolidate Media” export methods. Once you click Save andchoose a file location, the “Select Sequence” dialog box will appear, and you can select the entire
contents of a bin (“All”) from the “Exclude Audio and Video Media Referenced from Sequence”
dropdown menu. In addition, it is now possible to “Convert non WAV media to BWF”, which
generates new media files and includes file conversions while copying differences during export.
