Post by dhelpling »

Before I try and import a rather huge AAF file into DP 9.13, are there any tips on how to do this best? Thanks

I haven't had any luck with AAF import (and I've tried). I've had to either ask for OMF or bring the AAF into Protools first and re-export as OMF which works fine.

I have never been able to get an AAF to load into DP. Had to switch to Pro Tools to do that. Unfortunate.

Similar experience here. DP doesn't load AAF properly, have to pass it through PT first. Pretty shame. OMF loads fine though but since it's lack of many information that AAF has it's pretty useless.
