Exporting to AAF

Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) is an industry-standard project interchange
format for sharing projects and editing decisions between different video and audio
editing applications.

To export a project to an AAF file:

1

Choose File > Export AAF.

The Save dialog appears.

2

In the Save dialog, type a name for the file and browse to the location where you want
to save it.

For more information on using OMF and AAF files, see “

Exchanging OMF and AAF Files

with Other Applications

” on page 435.

Distributing a Multitrack Project and Its Media Files Together

You can save a multitrack project with all of the media files it uses together in the same
folder. Saving the project and its media files together is useful when you want to move
the project from one computer to another to continue working on it or to archive the
project and media for later use.

To save a project and its audio files together:

1

Choose File > Save As.

2

In the dialog that appears, select the Collect Audio Files checkbox.

This option saves the project file and a copy of every audio file the project uses to the
selected location.

Note: When you check this box, the setting is retained for any subsequent saves. In
other words, the File > Save menu option changes to File > Save (Collected), and any
new media you add to the project will be collected the next time you save the project.

Select this option to save
