Has anyone that has the August update of PP 23.6 have issues getting Protools to open the embedded audio from an AAF export? I downgraded to 23.5 and it works perfect. I called Adobe tech support and they said it most likely is a support issue with Protools. I don't believe the universal AAF file format comes down to Protools not supporting the newest version of PP. I would say its a bug with PP. I have attached the screen shot of the Protools trying to open the AAF and it only shows V1 video track... no audio tracks. I don't even send video in the AAF.

Hi @bradthecutter!
I'm experiencing the same problem. Did you find a solution?
I'm working with a PP 23.6.7. (Build 1) and try to open the aaf file with a 2024.6 Protools and the problem is exactly as described above.

HI @Creative_Submarine,

I wonder if this issue was fixed. Have you tried a test with the latest version? Let the community know. I hope we can help you.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin!
We finally found the problem and it has nothing to do with updating to a newer version, it can be solved with PP 2023 as well.

Even though you don't export video with the aaf (at least with my settings) video channels where the issue here - especially when working with mogrt-files.

My workaround was:

Duplicate the sequence you want to export as an aaf
Delete all video channels
Export as an aaf

Your files should be online now in Protools.

Hope I could help.
