AAF export - track label metadata, wrong interleave index (Premiere Pro)
Hey everyone,
I've been having trouble exporting a working AAF from prem to protools. I got very close and found one small issue on the export.
The files I'm using are multichannel wav files with embedded iXML data of the track names. eg. MixL, MixR, Boom, Rx1. These are quite useful for sound post production. These get lost or don't work after a AAF is exported. Scene and Take info is also available and actually works.
I'm working with mono files on a mono track timeline. I found the COPY and NON embedded function of the AAF works the best with less bugs. (eg. not every track is just track 1)
I think I actually found the issue that in the original file the track index and interleave index go 1 2 3 4 for both tags in the metadata. When the WAVs are broken out into MONO chanels it is no longer a multichannel clip but the interleave index is still 1 2 3 4, when I think they should all be 1. This gives protools the incorrect index and it reverts to index 1 name eg. MixL. This could be an issue with protools as well and how it reads this metadata but I found using a WAV splitter it also reverts the interleave index to 1. So when I manually change the metadata in the file it fixes the issue. Could this bug be fixed, it would be great if this worked.
