Customizing AAF Publication
1 In Media Export, set Export to Sequence Publish.
2 Enable Show Advanced Options to access the detailed settings.
3 In the Sequence Options, set Format to AAF.
From the Sequence Options tab, you can export an AAF file that references the original media files or generate
an XML file that will reference new media files.
To export only an AAF, without media:
1 Enable Include Video and Include Audio, as required.
2 Disable both Export Video Media and Export Audio Media.
3 Click Export.
This creates an AAF file where the video and audio tracks reference the original media files. Also note
that the Tracks and Transitions option is implicitly set to Keep All Tracks, and cannot be changed.
NOTE This process is especially fast, since no media need to be rendered or written to disk.
To export an AAF and its media:
1 Enable Include Video and Include Audio, as required.
2 Enable Export Video Media and Export Audio Media, as required.
3 Select a Media option, either Use Original Media or Use Media with FX.
4 Select an option for Tracks and Transitions. This option defines the exported structure of the sequence:
Flatten Tracks: The sequence is converted to a single segment.
Flatten Tracks with Transitions: A multi-track sequence is converted to a single track, where the
dissolve transitions are preserved. Other transitions are flattened.
Keep All Tracks: The sequence structure is preserved but non-dissolve transitions are converted to
centered dissolve transitions.
AAF Presets
You can use one of the following Sequence Publish presets to export an AAF for a specific purpose.
AAF for Avid Media Composer (Sequence only) Export an AAF file referencing the original media files.
The exported sequence shows all video and audio tracks. No media files are generated. See the Limitations
section to ensure that the exported sequence is compatible with this preset.

and audio AAF file along with 8-bit 1080p QuickTime (DNxHD36/45) referencing the media with effects.
16-bit audio WAVE files are also generated.
