  AAF linking to external media

  Posted by Steve Miller uk on May 21, 2007 at 10:13 am

  hi

  we are an audio post production house.

  we’re working on a drama series where we need to retain sound file metadata in the AAF/OMF when it is exported from FCP, so we can auto-link to the sound recordists rushes in Pro Tools.

  the only way metadata can be retained using Avid is to export an AAF linking to external media.

  it appears this option is not possible using FCP (nor using the automatic duck plug-in).

  does anyone know of a workaround where an OMF, or even better an AAF can be created linking to a pool/folder of source audio files, rather than embedding the audio within the file?

  thanks

  You can use Gallery’s XML Pro application to create a Pro Tools session that links to existing media… https://www.gallery.co.uk/XMLPro/xmlpro.html
