This process results in the same issue (plus a few new ones) that trying to export an AAF directly from PP with Merged Clips results in for me (and seemingly for most people who have this general complaint about Merged Clips). I'm trying to deliver a short film (10min) with 12 tracks of audio. Hi Raw01, this workaround didn't work for our project. Please Adobe, fix this issue and save us a lot of headache (three days in my case) and buying software made by a tiny third party that can do what you don’t seem to be able to. You can manually then strip out the video and export the XML from FCP and convert that with Send to CC but it’s an unnecessary step. Just convert the original XML one way and straight back to Premier leaving out the video. Sending the Premier XML to Final Cut Pro (using send to X) shows the correctly synched audio with original file names in the timeline. Note: It seems to be something about the merged video that upsets AAF exports. Export your video and import to ProTools for the said timeline separately. Now export that as AAF Unembeded (seperate) Audio.ħ) Opening that AAF in ProTools should now leave you with a perfectly in sync timeline with all audio metadata. You do not want the video to be converted just audio.ĥ) Open the XML you converted in Send to CC in Premier Pro.Ħ) You’ll now have an audio only timeline with everything in sync. Purchase the following two pieces of software from Send to X and X to CCĤ) In Send to CC in the dialogue box that pops up disable video. While Un-Embeded AAFs have the metadata but don’t sync.īeing in this situation myself with a feature film delivering to a world class post house who were unable to import my sound correctly has led me and now will hopefully others to this workaround which saves completely re-cutting the audio or having to work without metadata. Specifically I found embedded AAF files usually create a sync with even merged clips. Often OMF or AAF files don’t sync or if they do they loose metadata audio post need. Using workflows in Premier that involve merging clips to sync sound is infamous for creating issues when you want to export that information to a DAW for audio post production. This is a post for posterity for those who come across this problem and search for a solution it’s not a discussion as such.
