.caf files?

Question

I recorded the soundtrack to my video on Adobe Audition. I then did a very pleasing noise reduction on the large file. Since I am using a Mac it seemed sensible to save the file as the one that gave me Mac friendly options which resulted in a .caf file. It never occurred to me that a format I'd saved in Audition would not be available in Premiere Pro.

So, to fix the problem, I reopened the .caf file in Audition and tried to 'Save As' to change the format. However 'Save As' was greyed out. My attempt to export the file met with a similar shake of Adobe's head.

So what now? Surely that quick decision to go for a Mac friendly file format hasn't left me with no options to use my file?

Ah, well, it's sorted!A day after the greyed out options but a boulder in my path, I looked again at Audition, which was still open. I wondered whether perhaps Audition was expecting me to change something before it would allow me to 'Save As'. I tried playing a section of the track. Just to make sure, I checked the file menu again, and, lo and behold, the 'Save As' button had gone black! So I saved as an AAC file which was fine with Premiere Pro. AAC is lossy - but this is a speech file. When I saved to AIFF I couldn't use it in Premier because the file was more than 2gb. So I guess I had to have something a bit lossy just to jump that hurdle.
