When the export is concluded this info box appears:AAF Export Notes:Interchange Export info box• When Clip Envelopes Only is selected, the Clip Envelope and Static Clip Gain will be exported separately.This type of AAF file will import back into Pyramix with the original Clip Gains and Clip Envelope. However,if it is imported into ProTools, the Clip Gains will probably be lost.• When Clip Gains+Envelopes is selected, the Static Clip Gain will be combined with Envelope. When thistype of AAF file is imported back into Pyramix, all the Clip Gains will be at 0dB, but the original Clip Gainwill be incorporated in the Envelope.Note: EMBEDDED MEDIA When exporting to AAF with embedded Media the Clipnames may change when the file is opened in Pro Tools. In order to avoid problems gettingAAF files into Protools there are some limitations to the structure of the AAF file andwhere the clip name can be stored. For AAF files referencing external media, theserestrictions don't cause any noticeable differences. When exporting embedded AAF files,the clip name basically needs to be associated directly with the Media. As the Media isembedded in the file, its NOT possible to have multiple names referencing the samepiece of Media.Fade CurvesThe AAF specification includes only limited support for audio fades and crossfades - basically just allowing for linearor equal power fades.• On export from Pyramix to Protools the fades/crossfades are retained, but the fade curve details will belost.• On export from Protools to Pyramix, any fade regions will be rendered but will just appear as normal clipsin Pyramix.About the AAF Format• AAF Import will import Static Clip Gains as well as Clip Envelopes but remember that many other systems(including Protools/Avid) do NOT support Static Clip Gains so files from these systems will only show aVolume Envelope on Import.• On AAF Export, if the Volume Automation option is set to Clip Envelopes Only, the Pyramix Clip Envelopewill be put into the AAF Clip Envelope and the Pyramix Clip Gain will be put into the AAF Static ClipGain (but again, remember that this Static Clip Gain will not be imported into systems such as Protools/Avid).If the Volume Automation is left on its default setting of Clip Gains+Envelopes, the Pyramix Clip Envelopeand Clip Gain will be combined into the AAF Clip Envelope and no Static Clip Gain will be saved in theAAF file.AES-31Straightforward Import and Export in AES-31 format.File and Project Interchange : Project Interchange 17 - 316
