Hello Avid forum!
Has anyone here gotten Avid Media Composer to output sound in AAF format to Logic Pro 9? I'm working on a film where I'm using Logic for post-production sound and the editor is using Avid.
I've managed to get the sound files to actually import, but when Logic opens them up there are obvious sync issues. For one thing, Logic places the files at the fourth bar. I can drag all the clips back four bars to the starting point in the Logic timeline easily enough, but then even within the sequence some clips show up late. In a small Avid test sequence with four clips, a fade up at the beginning, a fade out at the end, and a dissolve/fade between the two middle clips, what ends up happening is that the third and fourth clips in the Avid timeline get their audio tracks bumped forward for some reason.
Here are the AAF export settings we used from the Avid. The files were all imported natively to DNxHD, and we didn't use AMA:
------------------------------------------------------------
Export as: AAF
[ ] Use Marks
[ ] Use Enabled Tracks
[ ] AAF Edit Protocol
[ ] Include all Video / Data Tracks in Sequence
[ ] Include All Audio Tracks in Sequence
Audio Details
Export Method: Copy All Media
[ ] Include Rendered Audio Effects
[ ] Render All Audio Effects
[ ] Remove Track Effects
[ ] Add Audio Mixdown Track(s)
[ ] Convert Audio Sample Rate to: Project
[ ] Convert Audio Sample Bit Depth to: Project
[x] Convert Audio File Format to: WAVE (OMF)
Media Destinations:
Data:
Audio: Media Drive
Drive: Avid Media
------------------------------------------------------------
Any advice would be most welcome!
