Thanks again for replying, Hans. The problem has now been resolved, though. I still don’t know what the problem was, but I fixed it by exporting an omf with the “consolidate” option instead of the “copy all” option. When I did it was way, the handles were intact.
Frankly, I’m still suspicious that they are just clueless on the other end. The first problem I reported about here was never really a problem at all – they just didn’t know what they were doing.

Follow-up problem:
After getting them an omf, it looked like everything was going to work fine. They only just started getting to work on it in Pro Tools today, and I got a call. Basically, the omf got imported fine, but there’s an issue with the handles. The handles are there, but they contain no audio. I am being told that it could be an issue with Avid’s subclips – that they can export with handles like this, but no information. The whole edit was done with subclips like this because I used the AutoSync feature to sync all the sound in the first place. Does anyone know anything about this issue? I haven’t had much luck Googling for it.

Hans you are my hero! I just heard back from my director and the omf was able to open in Pro Tools just fine.
I had to troubleshoot a small problem on their end, though, which leads me to believe that there may have been no problem with the AAF file in the first place, and that they just didn’t know what the hell they were doing.

Could you tell me how to change to SD and export as an OMF instead? I looked through all the menus and couldn’t find anything that seemed to fit that.
The project is in 1080p and at 23.976 fps. It was shot on a Cannon 7D and an HMC150, and brought into Avid as DNxHD. It’s being stored as MXF, I believe.

Thanks for the tip, but could you possibly be a bit more specific? I’m relatively new to Avid.
