Question

A2-A8 in MC clips do not export correctly to AAF (Pro Tools and Resolve)

Hello! 

 

Such a strange problem here. We tested this workflow a few weeks ago and it seemed to work fine. Now for some reason A1 follows the AAF and all the SFX and music as well but not the rest of the regular dialoge tracks (boom, microports etc). 

 

I am running newest version of Premiere. Does anyone know why this is happening? Why doesn't all the audio follow along? Why is A1 different? It is part of the same clip. Really pulling my hair out here.

 

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Adam etc.,

 

This is a pretty important problem. I hope someone from Adobe comes on to assist.

 

It would help if you posted the version number of PPro and your machine specs.

 

As a workaround and/or troubleshooting first step ... what happens if you attempt an AAF export of a timeline that contains only 1 audio clip - something from A2 or A3 ... A8. (In other words, duplicate the timeline, delete everything except one of the clips that is not exporting).

Only way I could find for it to work was to select MC clips and their audio and "Flatten" them by right clicking on them. This however also removes the MC video mode so can only really be done after editing is done. Another way is to click on a clip and enter the MC timeline and copy the audio section manually from in there. For some reason that is different from just match framing and getting the audio from the MC clip down into the timeline if that makes sense. 

 

Such a strange workaround and ridiculous that the AAF isn't smart enough to just get the audio. I mean it's RIGHT there.

I have tried so many version of this export AAF console but this is the one a friend recommended but the same problem arises. Audio is just nonexistant on A2-A8
