Importing OMF's into Final Cut Pro

Hi.

I would just like to know is there anyway to import OMF files into Final Cut Pro ?

The reason why I ask is because I work closely with Sound Designers and I like to have an OMF file in FCP is to see all their tracks and clips on the tracks if I need to change something. For example if you have a wave file and at a certain place and there is a song that doesn't fit the visuals then I'm quite limited with the 2 track wave file cause there is dialogue, foleys, sound fx and music. There is no way that you can remove one of those clips with a wave but with an OMF you can.

I've heard that Adobe Premiere can import OMF's.

I also founded out there is software "Automatic Duck's Pro Import FCP 2.0" which allows you to import OMF's in Final Cut Pro, but the price for that is $ 495.

Isn't there anyway can import OMF's for free in FCP, or if Final Cut Pro 8 is released will this include the option of importing OMF's ?

Thanks

You can open it in Soundtrack Pro.
