No my mistake I should ahve spotted it was the DS forum... We don;t run our DS any longer and I'm prettyr sure we used to use Media Composer (or Symphony) to prep Avid jobs going into it so would ahve used that to export the OMF. But I do recall you could do an OMF export. (read more)

Are you sure you need OMF? It's more common to use AAF for export to Protools? But if you do need OMF make sure you set your project format to an SD frame size in th format tab.
