AAFx reads an FCPXML or a `.fcpxmld` bundle and writes a +self-contained AAF: the audio essence travels inside the file, so the +mixer can open the session without ever seeing your rushes. + +Every role and subrole becomes a named Pro Tools track. Dialogue opens +the session, then the roles you created in Final Cut, then effects and +music. Clips of the same role that overlap take neighbouring sub-tracks +instead of piling up. + +Each region carries the source timecode of its own rush, which keeps +conforming possible months later. When a drive is offline, AAFx names +every missing file, its role, how many clips use it and the volume it +expects — then relinks by source timecode and exact duration rather +than by filename, so two rushes with the same name from different +shooting days can never be confused. + +Pro Tools only reads mono audio essence inside an AAF, which is why an +interleaved stereo region turns into saturated noise. AAFx splits every +source into one mono track per channel that actually carries sound, and +discards silent channels — a 16-track field recording does not flood +the session with 16 empty tracks. + +Multicam clips are resolved to their active audio angles, compound +clips are expanded, and clips whose audio you disabled in the edit stay +out of the AAF. Handles are adjustable from zero to thirty seconds. + +Nothing is installed on your Mac: Python and the audio extractor travel +inside the application. No Homebrew, no ffmpeg, no Terminal. Nothing +leaves your machine. + +Requirements + +- macOS 11 or later +- Final Cut Pro 10.4 to 12.3, FCPXML up to 1.14, `.fcpxml` and + `.fcpxmld` bundles +- Pro Tools for AAF import, via File > Import > Session Data + +Complete seven-day trial, no watermark and no credit card. One-off +price, no subscription: 79 € for a single Mac, 139 € for four +simultaneous floating seats. + +[!button text="Visit Website" target="blank" variant="info"](https://aafx.app/)
