The first dialogue box offers a collection of global options relating to the whole project. The precise content of this dialogue box is dependant upon the source and destination application. Pro-Convert supports over 40 different audio applications, each with different options and functionality available; so Pro-Convert greys out options which are not relevant to the current conversion task and offers different options for different applications.

You will be shown some project notes at the top of the box that inform you of format specific conversion process factors. Most users will simply be shown the Sample Rate, Frame Rate and BIT depth of the project (These need to match for the source and destination project and are not available as a conversion option). If Pro-Convert cannot detect the appropriate setting within your source project automatically, you need to select a setting; if this is the case the drop down menu will be active rather than grayed out. Be aware that this section concerns Project settings only. You will have the option to convert basic file formats (eg .AIFF to .WAV) later in the process but if you want to convert audio file properties (ie Bit Depth etc) you need to do this as a separate process using the Audio Tool (which has its own web page and section in the help system).

The ‘Offset’ feature lets you set an offset for the start time of the project. The ‘Ignore empty tracks’ option does as it says. The ‘Clean EDL’ option removes overlapping regions because many DAWs cannot play back overlapping audio files. The ‘Frame based EDL’ option maps sample based timelines onto frame based timelines. ‘Fit with Blacks’ inserts silent audio files on tracks containing empty spaces between audio files.

Pro Tools 5.0 Mac users will be offered a collection of options that deal with Operating System specific issues. OMF users will be invited to select from a list of OMF settings that have been prepared for a number of popular DAWs. AES31 users can attach a detailed text file to the project here.

When you are done, hit ‘next’. Pro-convert will return to these setting next time you use it to help streamline the process.
