Importing .AAF Files into the Avid Editor (Macintosh Team Mode)

2. In the Media Composer bin, select File > Import and navigate to the .AAF file. The file is

now available to edit in Media Composer and the duration will automatically update as the

clip is captured.

Clips edited while in this in-progress state may encounter issues when being exported. It is

required that if you are editing with an in-progress clip, and plan to export the composition, that

you consolidate the clip before the export is performed.

Any duration changes that result in the clip being longer than it was initially, result in captures

stopped short, and so on. You need re-import these clips to close them out.

If you are performing a Crash Record, make sure that you update the clip every hour to get the

updated clip duration.

When clips are deleted from the Editor bin, the media will also be deleted, only if you have

selected “Delete associated maid files”. Even so,, the metadata (.AAF file) used to import the

clip will remain. For best results, the .AAF files need to be manually managed on a regular basis.

3. Edit the clip. The resulting sequences are sent to playback.

4. When the capture completes, select File > Import (or right-click Import in the Avid editor

bin).
