[Now released] AAF export now available in beta

[Fergus H]

This feature is now shipping in the October 2022 release of Premiere Pro. Questions or comments about it should be posted to the main Premiere Pro forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/ct-p/ct-premiere-pro. 

----------

Exporting Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) files is now available in beta for Premiere Pro customers using Apple silicon Macintoshes. Previously, customers had to launch Premiere Pro in Rosetta mode to export AAF files.

We’re eager to get feedback on this change: the work we did to make AAF export work on Apple silicon also involved an update of our AAF support to a newer version of Avid’s format.

Regards,

Fergus

Thanks Fergus, any chance of *importing* embedded AAFs in the future?

Resolve does this pretty neatly by linking to the media *within* the embedded AAF (although it falls down on not then being able to project manage the embedded media to separate files).

Please make AAF export work.  Apple silicon is nearly 2 years old so it's not all that new nor novel anymore.  I'm not sure why this can't be done.  While you're at it, please make Loudness Radar work with Apple Silicon becuase that too doesn't work.  Feels to me like Adobe decided no one with Apple silicon had any reason to export to a mixer who prefers AAF over OMF and has no reason to have any idea what the LKFS of thier audio looks like other than a standard bar meter.  It's a real drag.

AAF export works on MacOS ARM machines, in PPro beta, today.

Hello, I downloaded a few days ago a new version of Premiere from the Adobe site and I can't seem to find the AAF export choice when I click on File/Export. I'm on a new MacBook Pro. What can I do to find it? My sound editor can only work with this.

If you downloaded a PPro beta build, you'll see a "File --> Export --> AAF..." menu item. 
If you downloaded a PPro release build, you won't see that menu item, unless you run PPro in Rosetta mode.

Thank you for your answer, I just downloader the beta version and it's solved !

Thank you for supporting native AAF export on Apple Silicon machines. However, work still needs to be done with AAF importing.

The bug which I reported here, regarding unplayable sequences when importing Avid AAFs that link to ProRes .mov files containing audio tracks in them, persists in Premiere 2023.0

Fixed in 23.1 beta.

OMG thank you! Just tested it with the beta, and can confirm that everything does appear to work now. Mahalo!!!
