XterminatorApps Releases Abletonlive.aaf — Convert AAF Files to Ableton Live Projects

New utility bridges the gap between post-production workflows and Ableton Live

January 2026 — XterminatorApps has released Abletonlive.aaf, a desktop utility for Windows and macOS that converts AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) files directly into Ableton Live projects.

AAF is the industry standard for exchanging audio between DAWs and video editing software, widely used in Pro Tools, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Media Composer, and Audition. However, Ableton Live does not natively support AAF import—until now.
