AAF Interleaved Stereo
Hello Everyone
A thing that has bothered me for a long time now - every time I import AAF into DP the stereo tracks do not stay interleaved and create 2 separate mono tracks. Is there any way to keep the tracks interleaved?

Re: AAF Interleaved Stereo
Are you importing to a stereo track?
You can use QuickTime to convert AAF to .wav and importing that.

Re: AAF Interleaved Stereo
I am importing a PT session that has close to 100 tracks, many of them Stereo. Doing it manual is a pain...

Re: AAF Interleaved Stereo
QuickTime Amateur (might be just QT Amateur) lets you do bulk conversions. Not the best solution but somewhat less painless. It's also very useful for any QT conversion/exporting.

Re: AAF Interleaved Stereo
I have conversion programs like Sample Manager or SoundGrinder which convert between the two but I still need them in the AAD session itself. I see that PT session has them separated. Perhaps there is a way to convert those into interleaved with protools itself and then (perhaps) the exported AAF will take that into account.

Re: AAF Interleaved Stereo
Have you checked Preferences > Audio Files and checked 'Interleaved'?
I'm thinking there's another preference involved too, or maybe a mini-menu item but I can't recall or find it at the moment.
I don't deal with AAF so this may not even apply, but hey, we try.

Re: AAF Interleaved Stereo
I believe he is referring to QT 7.6.6. This is free from Apple and installs in the Utilities Folder (conflicts with QT 10.x otherwise). Very handy tool.MIDI Life Crisis wrote:QuickTime Amateur (might be just QT Amateur) lets you do bulk conversions. Not the best solution but somewhat less painless.

If you have a QT Pro license for 6 or 7 (Mac), this will accept it. Unfortunately, you can no longer look up your old keys in your support account. Apple purged those a few years ago.
In a bit of weirdness – even for Apple – QT 7.7 stopped working after OS 10.5.x and was replaced by OS 7.6.6

Re: AAF Interleaved Stereo
This QT Amateur - seems it hasn't been updated for some time https://mikeash.com/software/qtamateur/index.html
I'll second the use of Sound Grinder, not only for it's batch conversion abilities, it has extensive metadata functions as well.

Analog is great... We got both WOW and Flutter - what's your bias?

Re: AAF Interleaved Stereo
Sound Grinder looks great, but at $350 it's a little pricy. QT Amateur is free and regardless of not having been updated, it works great for quicktime conversions. Not really an audio tool at all.
Did i mention it's free...?

Re: AAF Interleaved Stereo
Yes. I have that checked all the time. Think it is more on the PT side as the files are separated on that side. I will have to check that out.philbrown wrote:Have you checked Preferences > Audio Files and checked 'Interleaved'?
