importing AAF from PPro into Vegas
I read that it had been done, but have yet to get it working. It’s a long project (over two hours) that I broke up into 15 minute reels. Some 3rd party fx in the video side, but all standard in audio. I/O in PPro with the AAF is good. Vegas kicks it back. Any steps or care and feeding to make it work? I’d rather do the sweetening in Vegas than have to invest in Audition.
Thanks.

I wouldn’t bet the farm on doing it in Vegas. The AAF support is terrible at the moment (at least with Avid AAFs). I’m told that AAF doesn’t work very well period, but that’s little consolation.
If Vegas won’t open it, you might need a new .dll. Details in this thread:

Good luck!

there are basic specifications for AAF and if you go outside those then AAF is going to have problems on different NLE’s ..
3rd party effects do not work with AAF ( except if you are on avid and going to another avid , or Ppro to Ppro ) … in fact many FX’s will not transfer from NLE to NLE = you must keep FX’s simple = dissolves , fads ..
don’t blame the limited spec’s on Vegas .. and don’t go thinking EDL as that is much older then AAF and is very limited … EDL vs AAF = think of AAF as an edl on steroids
here are some spec’s

Premiere Pro (current version) AAFs open in Vegas 6 (current version), I am doing it right now.
What is your step-by-step export method in Premiere?

I get the import fine…to an extent.
Our video editor guys edit in PPro then send to me for audio sweetening. I just have them do a rough render of the video to sync to.
The audio tracks seem to double when I import, but I just delete the un-needed tracks and away I go.
It would be much simpler if people just used Vegas for everything like I do. 🙂
