Export to aaf

for an animation film i had mixed together different sound pieces with a speaker. my sound engineer, how does the final mix is working on nuendo based on windows. i gave him an export to aaf, wiht the resolt that every track, even mono tracks are doubled and the panning is centered. so he has to do all the pannings of the stereotracks manually.
so, is there a better way to export the hole project from soundtrack to nuendo than this?

You don't necessarily need as many exports as tracks, although you could end up that way.
Say you had a sfx at the beginning of one track, on another track you have a sfx in the middle, and on another you had an element at the end you could conceivably bounce to 1 exported stereo track.
Your Nuendo guy could separate and move them again if he wished.
You could also premix some elements if you so desired, say you have 3 elements layered at one point and you wanted to marry them together you could export them together.

When I export a AAF file from Protools 9 and Import the file into Logic ProX the drum track is out of sync. I created the drum loop using NI Maschine. Has anyone else seem this??

When I export an AAF file/project from Protools 9 using an external drive and import the AAF into Logice Pro X the drum track does not play correctly. It is out of sync with the rest of the track. I created the drum loop as a plugin using Native Instruments Maschine. Has anyone else had this problem?? Also how would I go about exporting the midi tracks from the Protools session. The midi track does not show when the file is imported to Logic Pro X. The midi data should export with the AAF file correct??

Are you using any plugins in Logic?
In Preferences/Audio under the General tab, how do you have the plug-in-latency compensation set?

I added an adjustment layer. Now it only letting me export as AAF?!

What does that mean? Alpha channel? I added an adjustment layer, black and white effects to my entire video. Now its only letting me export as AAF. It's also asking me whether to "embed audio" or "save as legacy file". What in the world does that mean and what should I choose? This is just a draft to show to client.

Ann, when I go to Export, I only get "AAF" and "Final Cut Pro XML" options...I don't see "Media" so that I can choose my options. In one movie, I have an adjustment layer on top of all movie. To make the movie black and white.
But another movie is just plain. And still I get only "AAF".
The first tim I went to export this movie, regular, I exported as .mov Now it's not letting me do that. What's going on? I have to show this to my boss in few hours...
Thank you so much.

Soundtrack export to AAF

Hello - I have spent all morning trying to figure this out - hope someone here can help.
I am cutting an animated series in FCP. I get the voice records weeks before I get any picture, and so I like to assemble the dialogue edit in STP, where I can name tracks, do any dialogue cleaning etc., without going into FCP. What I am trying to do with STP2 is to export the session as an AAF file that I can open in FCP, and still have the option to move individual audio clips around, rather than a single track containing all the dialogue.
I would also like the AAF file to reference the exisiting audio files on my drive rather than create new files. I have Automatic Duck, and the import into FCP is taking forever - almost an hour so far, for 9 minutes of audio. I cannot see why this should be such a problem - am I missing something?
This is really holding up my edit, so any help would be much appreciated!!
Thanks
Martin

I haven't had luck getting an AAF produced by Soundtrack Pro to be read by Digital Performer, it was only readable by Logic Pro for me.
Your best bet might be to use what are called stems. Render the tracks out separately into separate wave/aiff files. The export menu item in SP will give you some options to make this easy. When you have the tracks exported out to single files you can then just load those files into your Pro Tools or Logic, one file per track. You'll have to set the surround panning again of course inside PT/Logic.

Export OMF, AAF from Final cut X ???

Is there a way for export audio/ video from final cut x like OMF or AAF? for professionnal use, it's very important !

In short: NO.
as a pro evidently in need of exporting to Protools or whatever, you should stay away from FCP X, & stick with FCP7 for now. Wait & see what fixes or solutions Apple comes up with once the smoke clears after tuesdays debacle of this software introduction. The ball is in their court now, everyone seems to be holding their breath for a reaction from Cupertino.

Export Embedded AAF Error - "Cannot embed audio source error number -2147483647"

I have a sequence that I need to send to an audio post house running ProTools. We have agreed to send an AAF for delivery. The sequence I have prepped looks like this:
- All video and video tracks deleted (except V1);
- All audio effects & volume removed;
- All audio transitions removed.
I export the sequence, am presented with a choice to embed the media into the AAF:
It runs and begins to build the AAF but I get this error message: "Cannot embed audio source "/Volume/...." because an error occurred when writing essence data. Premiere ASL error number: -2147483647".
What is causing this error and how can I prevent this from happening? It is very frustrating and causing a lot of trouble.
I should mention that I can export an OMF fine with "encapsulated media".
Adobe Premiere V7.2.0 (46)
Mac OS X 10.8.5
WAV 48kHz 24bit in 1080p @ 25fps Sequence
BlackMagic Ultra studio Express connected
Problem occurs with final output.

I have the exact same problem. Did you allready found a solution?
OMF has the 2GB limitation wich makes it hard to use for my project.

Export to AAF causes "Uncaught Exception"

I have a 9-minute STP project with hundreds of clips and edits... it's a stereo mix. Every time I click File > Export AAF... I get
An Unexpected Problem
Uncaught Exception
Any ideas on what might be causing this and how I can fix it!?

Per this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8328494&#8328494
It seems a lot of problems can be cleared up by deleting some extensions... anyone know exactly which files (and where) to delete?
Thanks in advance!

I can't export an AAF from Premiere to Avid.

Why can I not open an AAF from Premiere CC 2015 in Avid Media Composer 7.0.4?
It is a simple edit in Premiere in 1080p 2997. The AAF imports to Avid but the video is offline
but the audio embeds in the AAF but the timecode of the audio is not matching the video.
The audio is stereo, not 5.1 dolby. Is there a metadata glitch somewhere? This is a bit
maddening. Thanks for any help.

Hi Dave,
Why can I not open an AAF from Premiere CC 2015 in Avid Media Composer 7.0.4?
There's no such thing as "Premiere CC 2015." Check the "About" splash screen and inspect the version number in the lower left corner. It should be 8.0, 8.1, or 8.2.
Regarding your issue, my guess is that the two are incompatible as much work was done on AAF for Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2), however, I do not know how far back it will affect versions of Media Composer imports. Can you try a trial of the current version of Media Composer and see if it works?
Thanks,
Kevin

What is the Better choice to export, XML or AAF?

I Know FCP does not support AAF natively. But I need to send my sequence to Avid, so my idea is export
as .xml and open it in Premiere CS5, and then export as AAF from Premiere to open my sequence on Avid.
Does anyone have a better idea? What is the best workflow to do what I need?
ps* I don't have Automatic Duck

That's from 2004... lightyears ago.
Try your idea...but I don't know how well it will work. How will Avid connect to the media and all that.
the BEST workflow is Automatic Duck. Don't have it...get it. Simple, straightforward...and it works. You can also try Boris AAF...cheaper. I haven't tried it...I use the Duck.

Exporting AAF for Pro Tools.

So I got an OMF from FTP into STP with no problem, only to find that I couldn't export it again - hopefully a feature in the new STP? Anyway, my only option was to export an AAF (don't have the original FCP timeline to work with) - this audio needs to go to Pro Tools.
But my Pro Tools guy is saying he can't do anything with the AAF file if it's not consolidated into one file - like the OMF normally is.
So - is there a way to export a consolidated AAF? I don't see the option.

Our round trip workflow works, but still hoping for a better alternative in the future.
Duplicate & Rename the sequence for export (just a good habit to have... "videoblah.002, 003, etc). Then clean up any potential audio / video problems; clips that are not enabled, duplicate audio, delete blank tracks, and all the stuff the seems to crowd in the back of my timeline.
-It is a good idea to label your audio tracks for transfer (right-click> rename)
After that I export an OMF. (File>Export>OMF) and select the settings below:
That's just audio so for video, I export a quicktime H.264 video for ProTools DVtoolkit (video import plugin). Protools will except H.264 .MOV files, but it will not ingest H.264 .MP4's. It will also handle 1920x1080 files, but if I am rendering out a long project I like to keep the file size smaller by cutting the resolution in half or more.
The audio guy then takes it from there and gives me back a 24-bit single track audio wav file.
Thus far it seems to be a workflow, but if I want to go back and make changes, then either I have to do it all over again, or tell the audio guy specifically what needs done.
All in all, it's not efficient as using a roundtrip workflow such as AVID > ProTools and back again in AAF form.
Hope that helps.

The secret to getting your CS4 project back to CS3 - AAF or AE export

Okay you edited a project in CS4 but it won't render an quicktime right or something else, what do you do?
The only reason I edit with CS4 is the awesome Media Browser for P2 clips. It does save a bunch of time when working with tapeless media that Bridge can't preview.
Obviously if you need to export to a .mov especially animation codect CS4 has trouble. Blame it on Apple whatever, it works fine in CS3 right?
There are two work-arounds. One is open the Premiere project in AE then render. Just like old times you can hint streaming and it exports just like Premiere did in CS3 and the QT files actually work correctly.
The other workaround is to cut in CS4 then export as an AAF file (you have to have the 4.0.1 update to do this). Project - export as AAF.
Then you import the AAF file into CS3 and render like you always did.
I know at first with 4.0.0 it was frustrating being stuck with AME to render but now if you are really having problems with CS4 there is a way to get your cuts back to CS3.
Maybe this will help you guys out.

You guys are thanking me like I came up with some revolutionary way to do things. AAF has been around forever. I've been using it for years to get my cut in Sony Vegas so I could do an OMF export that worked in Protools for mastering. AAF has been around for years.
In fact when I bought CS4 and started a project I kinda freaked out (because there was no AAF export). I felt trapped in a buggy CS4.0.0
and just wanted to escape. It was like AMISTAD with a white boy yelling "give us free!!". Then the update came and I chilled out.

Question: Exporting .aaf from Premiere Pro CC v8

I want to export an aaf from Premiere to be color corrected in Davinci Resolve. My export fails because some of the clips in my timeline have effects (horizontal flip, gaussian blur, volume). I get a pop-up saying "Translation Issue". What am I doing wrong?

I mean a .aaf file. I've read that it is compatible with Davinci Resolve, and I can round trip my sequence from Premiere to Resolve using .aaf. I've tried exporting it a Final Cut Pro xml as well. Both times almost immediately the export stops and a warning pops up listing all of the issues:
Translation issue:
Sequence <Feature_Color> at 00:02:38:07, video track 7: Effect <Horizontal Flip> on Clip <JT_20131128_INTSmallMnt03.MOV> not translated.
Translation issue:
Sequence <Feature_Color> at 00:08:57:04, video track 6: Effect <Track Matte Key> on Clip <DG_06_06_2014_Radio_CU_06.MOV> not translated.
Translation issue:
Sequence <Feature_9> at 00:00:00:00, audio track 8: Effect <Internal Channel Volume Stereo> on Clip <ATF soundtrack_2.aif> not translated.

AAF export not working in PPCC 8.1

Im running New Mac Pro with 10.9.5. I have a 2 min trailer with 12 stereo tracks and 2 video tracks in my sequence that I'm trying to get out to an Avid MC for finish. Everytime I export an AAF it gets all the way to the end of the process and then crashes PPCC. I have tried doing just video, just audio, having all my media offline and it still crashes. I thought it was a problem with just my machine but it's happening across multiple machines and multiple different projects. Is anyone else having this problem?

Weird. I am having the issue that when I try to export, it will not allow me to hit the blue export button at the bottom. It does not seem to fit the screen properly.
HELP

Premiere Pro 6 AAF export variable rate error. Why?

Hello,
I'm trying to export an AAF out of Premiere Pro 6 and it says variable rate error.
I've been scouring to try and find a reason for this error and so far no luck.
The footage in the timeline is REDEpic footage. The framerate is 23.976.
Many of the clips have timewarps/timeremapping on them.
I did not build the project, so please be aware of my ignorance about this Premiere Pro file.
I'm only trying to get the AAF to conform elsewhere. How do I fix this or what is the problem?
Thank you for your help.

This might be relevant:
Exporting AAF files
(Excerpt):
"The plug-in converts video clip speed changes (slow, fast,
reverse playback) to the Avid Media Composer Motion Effect,
which is the only supported effect."
If you aren't conforming in Avid, here's a time-consuming workaround:
Export all of the timewarp / time remap clips from Premiere to
lossless digital intermediate (DI) files, then use them to replace
the original clips in a duplicate Timeline before exporting your AAF.
Lossless codecs:
Lagarith Lossless Video Codec (pc only)
http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html
Ut Video Codec Suite (pc or mac)
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ut-Video-Codec-Suite
Virtually lossless codec:
Avid Codecs 2.3.7 - DNxHD (pc or mac)
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/download/en423319
note:
Your selected lossless codec will need to be installed on both systems.
