Exporting as an AAF file
8
When exporting as an AAF file, you can export as an
embedded or non-embedded file. When you choose
the
File
menu “Export Project...” item the export screen
appears. On this screen, you can set whether to export
an embedded AAF file or a non-embedded AAF file. The
difference between embedded and non-embedded files
is explained below.
Embedded AAF files contain all the information and
•
audio files for a project. In other words, the entire
project can be stored in a single embedded AAF file
(.aaf). The maximum size of a single AAF file, however,
cannot exceed 2 GB. For this reason, if the total data
of the project exceeds 2 GB (because it has many
tracks and/or very long clips), you must export it as
a non-embedded AAF. If you try to export a project
that is larger than 2 GB as an embedded AAF, an error
message will appear and exporting will be canceled.
Non-embedded AAF files only contain the project
•
information. When you export this way, a folder that
contains all the audio files will also be created. As with
embedded AAF files, the maximum size is 2 GB, but this
limitation has no practical effect since non-embedded
AAF files do not contain audio files.
Copying a Project
You can make a copy of a project with the X-48MKII, for
instance as a backup to another drive. This copies the
project and all of its wave recordings, unlike
Save As...
which only copies the project file.
