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.
