AAF Tools AAF Bridge
Convert AAF and XML to Ableton Live Sets, and back.
AAF / XML Ableton Live (Resolve, Pro Tools, Avid, Premiere/FCP, Nuendo, etc):
– import AAF, XML, FCPXML or FCPXMLD
– Sample-accurate clip positions and source offsets, named tracks
– Fades & crossfades (become Live-native crossfades), clip gain, volume automation, pan, markers, track/clip colors (some editors don’t write automation or pan in AAF, please see our guide)
– Picture cut on its own video track — mix to image inside Live
– MXF-wrapped audio (Resolve) converts to WAV automatically.
Ableton Live AAF / XML (Resolve, Pro Tools, Avid, Premiere/FCP, Nuendo, etc):
– export AAF, XML, FCPXML or FCPXMLD
– Named tracks, sample-accurate positions, full handles
– Real AAF crossfade transitions, clip gain, volume curves
– Timecode track at the session frame rate
– Optional “collect media”: one movable turnover folder.
Every conversion writes a plain-text report — what transferred, what needs attention (e.g. warped clips to consolidate). No MIDI, no plugin chains: AAF can’t carry those, and the report says so plainly rather than dropping things silently.
