Exporting
You can export one video track and up to four audio channels, or two stereo tracks.
4 Specify the location and name for the EDL file, and click Save.
5 Click OK.
Note: In Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, merged clips are supported in standardized EDLs. EDLs will interpret the merged
clip sequence track items in the same way it currently does for separate audio and audio clips that are used together in
the sequence at the same time locations. The target application will not show the clips as merged. The audio and video
will be seen as separate clips. Source timecode is used for both video and audio portions.
Exporting AAF files
Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) is a multimedia file format that allows you to exchange digital media and
metadata between platforms, systems, and applications. Authoring applications that support AAF, such as Avid Media
Composer, read and write the data in AAF files to the extent that they support the format.
Ensure that the project you want to export conforms to general AAF specifications and is compatible with an Avid
Media Composer product. Consider each of the following:
• The AAF files exported by Premiere Pro are compatible with the Avid Media Composer family of editing products.
These AAF files have not been tested with other AAF importers.
• Transitions should appear only between two clips, not adjacent to the beginning or end of a clip. Each clip must be
at least the same length as the transition.
• If a clip has a transition at both its In and Out points, the clip must be at least the same length as both transitions
combined.
• When naming clips and sequences in Premiere Pro, avoid using special characters, accented characters, or
characters that affect the parsing of an XML file. Some characters to avoid include /, >, <, ®, and ü.
• AAF files exported from Premiere Pro and imported into Avid Media Composer do not automatically relink to the
source footage. To relink the footage, use the Batch Import option in Avid Media Composer.
Note: In Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, merged clips are not supported when exporting an AAF file.

About the AAF plug-in
The AAF Export plug-in converts Premiere Pro projects as follows:
Cuts-only mono/stereo audio and video

Avid Media Composer sequence.
The plug-in converts video clip speed changes (slow, fast, reverse playback) to the Avid Media Composer

Motion Effect, which is the only supported effect. Clip speed applied to nested sequences is also converted. Avid Media
Composer does not have an equivalent to Motion Effect for audio. If the speed change makes the audio clip longer than
