Import AAF Files
Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) is a multimedia file format that allows
the exchange of digital media and metadata between platforms, systems,
and applications. Authoring applications that support AAF (such as
EDIUS, Avid Xpress and others) read and write data in AAF files to the
extent that they support the format. AAF is a widely-recognized file
exchange standard for video editing.
