  AAF export problem

  Posted by George Seven on September 17, 2011 at 5:27 pm

  When I export an AAF for Pro Tools, all the sound media are at 768.000 bit. But my original production sound is both at 1.536.000 and, some files recorder with just a mic, at 768.000.

  I’ve tried to export in aiff and mxf but I’ve got the same problem.
  I’m worried becouse I’m loosing quality.

  Any thought?

  Media Composer only works at 16bit or 24bit. Is this what you are referring to? Are you embedding the essence with the AAF file, or are you linking to existing files?

  To get AAF into Pro Tools, make sure the “Split Tracks to Mono” box is checked in your AAF export settings. Mono audio at 48 kHz is 768kbps, so that is correct. If you’re expecting stereo tracks to come over to Pro Tools, in my experience this has issues. Pro Tools AAFs should come in as mono tracks.
