Advanced Authoring Format
|
|
The Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) is a widely used industry standard for high-end exchange of video project data.
AAF keeps most of the editing data in its format, such as commonly used transitions (such as cross dissolves and wipes), but does not support filters or audio fade and pan information.
AAF is designed to be a data representation of works in progress, as compared to MXF, which is for exchanging finished media products. Both AAF and MXF use a KLV (Key Length Value) format.
Adobe Premiere Pro supports this format.
Comment: As I've read the refs, AAF would be defined as incorporating MXF (ref (http://www.lmahd.com/mxf.html)) -- as like, "part and parcel", they're derived, together, somehow as a whole unit. I'm not an expert about AAF, enough to describe it in any more, or enough to to challenge the unfavorable tone, about it, seeming evidenced in the article, above. AAF appears to have quite more support than what an unfavorable appraisal, beside it, would serve to indicate. -- (User:Gimbal)
