Hi Jan,
Apologies, I thought when you mentioned Avid that this was Avid’s ProTools. I think I should talk about AAF.
AAF was an open source “standard” but at some point many many years ago Avid restricted it. Even though Avid implement AAF with their MC’s, there are differences applied to how they read and create it between ProTools and the Media Composer world. When we wrote X2Pro originally it was to specifically create an AAF that was shall we say ProTools compliant. When we create an AAF for ProTools it can be read by Logic but Logic does not read all the information contained in the AAF as it does not read and translate it like ProTools. Our experience has been that when we create an AAF that is acceptable to ProTools it may not show all the information as detailed in the AAF when opened in Logic. We have looked at creating a version solely for creating Logic compatible AAF’s. If you want to create an AAF for ProTools then X2Pro5 will do this.
Hope the above helps.
Yours Sincerely
James.
