I cannot continue our team's Premiere>Pro Tools>AME workflow without this basic feature.

So there's no way to open an AAF file in the newest version Premiere? Is there a different file type it can import for the audio mix?

Hi Fergus,

Thanks for the update. While you're at it: when you sync and merge clips in the timeline rather than in the project window, AAF's retain their metadata in ProTools. If you do it in the project windows, you lose all the channel names (BOOM, TX1, TX2 etc.). Can you fix this ? :)

Wow! I can’t believe how many people choose to not believe that Adobe is working on a solution. Even worse, people are assuming that there is some sort of nefarious evil plan. It’s just code for Pete’s sake!!! Sometimes it takes longer to get right. Should it work? Yes. But how about some love for the code warriors that are trying their best.

Thanks Fergus for keeping us up to date.

Hi, Fergus. Thanks for the update! And please accept my apology for accusing you of trying to force us to use Audition. :)

Woohoo, thanks that is great news. Thanks for all the hard work.

While you're working on adding native AAF support on Apple Silicon, is there any chance that you can at least fix the absolutely showstopping bug where ProRes .mov files do not work when imported into Premiere via AAF? There is no practical workaround for this, other than having an Intel Mac, or transcoding the ProRes .mov files to DNxHD/HR and relinking to them. Needless to say this is an unacceptable workaround when you have 885 GB of ProRes .mov sources in your sequence.

+1 bump.

I'm having to keep around an old iMac just to do my roundtrip to the sound department. Please hurry ;)

Went to export today using my new M1 Mac... and no AAF export in July 2022? I'm as confused as everyone else here why this is still not available?

This is ridiculous. It's industry standard and yet they block it on the new update because of the excuse that this is due to apple's silicon chip's? As Bryant Arnett commented this does seem to be a ploy to force the hand of users. Come on Adobe. AVID doesn't do this. You can use the the updated version of their Media
Composer regardless of what chip you have. This is stupid. I'm sorry I'm so ****** but I'm in the middle of a job as an assistant and I found this out when I was trying to send a prep for an AAF. What a hassle to do an extra step for this. So disappointed. Ultimately this is my job on the line if things aren't done to standard. Please fix this. This is unacceptable.

Thanks for the update, Fergus. However, at this point I think we all can assume this is a ploy by Adobe to "encourage" more people to use Audition. Too bad it's not working. I usually like to remain optimistic about things, but I don't believe you will ever make this work. I doubt it is part of your business model to allow people to export their work to an audio engineer who is using anything other than an Adobe product.

Found out about this issue today during a workflow test. rather embarrassing after I insisted on a Premiere Productions workflow over Avid.

Same problem, please fix this! We are relying on Adobe to properly work with the latest technology, ideally in parallel. That is a pretty major function to be missing for a professional program.

I've never, in all my years as full-time Mac user, had to run an app in Rosetta mode, so I do find it rather baffling that Adobe would require users to learn about this odd "solution" to losing AAF export capability when using an M1 Mac.

Not sure which is worse, working to a tight deadline and suddenly finding I can't export an AAF, or the fact Adobe have known about it since last year!

Some of us are students, and are also working to make money, and there is no way to get our head around the export as AAF files.....
Please resolve this issue

I have the Apple M1 Max and can no longer Export AAF in Premiere. This needs to be fixed!!!!!!!!!

My audio engineer and I use an AAF workflow. I'm shocked I found the option missing today. Please fix. Thanks.

When will this bug be fixed? It's critical for professionals.

why aaf export isn't run?
