can’t export AAF from premiere, need audio for post house with handles on audio files
Is there a way to export an AAF so that i can deliver my audio to the sound designers ? I need to provide the audio with handles so that they can do the mix.
Is there any software out there that can handle this? (automatic duck has been discontinued for premiere)
If I can’t deliver an AAF file to the post house what work-around can I do? (they use pro tools)

CS3.
Apparently exporting an AAF file won’t work with pro tools, how about importing an AAF into avid and then exporting it as an OMF? Whats a good Avid program that can do this?

What kind of media are you using? (DV/P2 MXF…etc.)

AAF support is coming in the 4.01 update. I don’t know where you got your information about it being dropped altogether.
OMF support is coming in the same release from what I’ve been told.
Stop whining about features that should be there. If people want to edit a project and haven’t done any research before forking out money then they don’t deserve any pity. If people are downloading the software and not paying for it then shame on them.

Tyler. I’m going to guess you haven’t been doing this for too long.
Before OMF and AAF we used to export each track of audio for the entire length of the sequence.
Once we have all of these they should line up in sync. The sync video track is a separate video export with the mix in it for a guide.
The post house would take the full length tracks and manipulate them that way.
It doesn’t take all that long to do this and there is no need for special plug-ins.
Most of my earlier rant was directed more at another post about AAF.Jon Barrie

I have succesfully imported AAF from Premiere only into Vegas 8. It’s extremely flaky, it imports all sequences from Premiere to one timeline in Vegas, but you can delete superfluous tracks and work right on. Both all audio and video with handles will be preserved.
It works. Getting Avid just for converting AAFs between Premiere and Protools is an overkill. And be aware that CS4 dropped AAF support altogether (although they promise to bring it back later as an update, as well as OMG support).

interesting, does vegas export AAF or OMF?

sweet, thanks for the info…the only downside is not being able to supply handles, i guess i could just stretch each audio file on each end, and just supply a wav or aiff file of each audio track.
