I have several Edius timelines that I need to bring to a post house that uses Avid. The aafs I export seem unable to properly handle MXF data. Whenever the post house imports them, there are problems. Whenever I import them into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, there are problems.
In desperation, I made a test sequence where I converted all my MXF clips into DVCPROHD AVIs. Then I exported an aaf. I opened it in Premiere and it was basically fine. Therefore, I thought the Avid people would be able to import it as well. Wrong! The AVIs have no timecode.
They offered to open the same sequence in Adobe Premiere. I don't know what version they're using. But they're having problems with that as well. They get an error message that says, "The importer reported a generic error."
At this point I don't know what to do anymore. I'm literally one step away from the crying stage.
Have other people had serious issues with Edius aafs? I'm new to the HD world and new to using aafs, but I refuse to believe that this is all on my end. What is going on here???
