I just got a one-off audio for video gig, and the producer sent me several AAF files in a folder with other items.
I imported to DP, and it puts things in the tracks, but nothing can play (all greyed out). The SoundBites window shows that the audio tracks are in the mxf format-- which I've never heard of before tonight.
The producer also mentioned some speed changes (for the voice over) --which I don't know if DP could produce from an AAF.
I'll request a different format, but wondered if anyone had any tips for making this work?
thx.
Problem importing AAF, can DP read mxf audio?

Re: Problem importing AAF, can DP read mxf audio?
You have a Pro Tools file. DP is supposed to be able to import these. There are a number of old threads on this. Best to start by searching those and reading the manual.

Re: Problem importing AAF, can DP read mxf audio?
Another attempt was made with the .mxf audio (which is supposedly a container for AIF)-- apparently this has worked for other DP users from way back.
Later the project supervisor sent an AAF but with the media set in an OMF format (as aif), and that loaded fine.
