New AAF and OMF Import
and Export Features
Real-Time Fades with AAF and
OMF Sequences
Pro Tools 10 provides real-time fades. When im-
porting an AAF or OMF sequence into
Pro Tools, any fades in the sequence are con-
verted to real-time fades in the Pro Tools ses-
sion. When exporting an AAF sequence, fades
are rendered so that they are compatible with
Media Composer or any other third-party appli-
cations.

channel (stereo, 5.1, or 7.1) audio tracks to AAF

channel audio files:
