been tested with other AAF importers.
Transitions should appear only between two clips, not adjacent to the beginning or end of a clip. Each clip must be at least the same length
as the transition.
If a clip has a transition at both its In and Out points, the clip must be at least the same length as both transitions combined.
When naming clips and sequences in Premiere Pro, avoid using special characters, accented characters, or characters that affect the parsing
of an XML file. Some characters to avoid include /, >, <, ®, and ü.
AAF files exported from Premiere Pro and imported into Avid Media Composer do not automatically relink to the source footage. To relink the
footage, use the Batch Import option in Avid Media Composer.
Merged clips are not supported when exporting an AAF file.

Export an Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) project file
1. Choose File > Export > AAF.
2. In the Save Converted Project As dialog box, browse to a location for the AAF file, and type a file name. Click Save.
3. In the AAF Export Settings dialog box, select either Save As Legacy AAF, Embed Audio, or neither. Click OK.
Premiere Pro saves the sequence to an AAF file at the specified location. The AAF Export Log dialog box opens to report any exporting
issues.
About the AAF plug-in
The AAF Export plug-in converts Premiere Pro projects as follows:
The plug-in fully supports these elements of a project. The plug-in does not convert audio pan, gain,
and level changes, and 5.1 audio. Stereo audio channels are separated into two tracks in the Avid Media Composer sequence.
The plug-in converts video clip speed changes (slow, fast, reverse playback) to the Avid Media Composer Motion Effect, which is the
only supported effect. Clip speed applied to nested sequences is also converted. Avid Media Composer does not have an equivalent to Motion
Effect for audio. If the speed change makes the audio clip longer than the source media, the plug-in stretches the audio clip to the same length as
the rest of the source media. The plug-in begins at the StartTime, and places filler in the gap. You can fix these portions of the sequence manually
in the Avid editing system.
The plug-in retains the tape name specified in the AAF file. Use the Batch Record capability in Avid Media
Composer to recapture the media from tape.
The plug-in exports the project at its full resolution. However, importing scales all footage according to the
resolution specified in the Avid project.
The plug-in builds the master composition from the nested sequences recursively (because Avid Media Composer does not
support linking to the nested sequences). Therefore, in the AAF file, there’s no linking between the master composition and the nested sequences.
The plug-in converts titles to offline media in Avid Media Composer.
Avid Media Composer places all items into a single bin. Projects with multiple bins convert into one bin.
