(Beta) Open Pro Tools Session

Last updated 1 month ago

This node is designed to open a Pro Tools session (project) in Avid Pro Tools using session files with the extension *.ptx. When executed, the node will load the specified Pro Tools session into the application, allowing the user to work within that project.

Input Parameters:

  • Session Path: The complete file path of the Pro Tools session to be opened, including the file extension (*.ptx).

The Pro Tools integration is currently in beta.

For this reason, it includes an expiration date of June 30, 2025.

We’ll remove this limitation in a future release once the integration exits beta.
