Add AAFx — FCPXML to AAF converter for Pro Tools
AAFx converts a Final Cut Pro timeline — an FCPXML file or a .fcpxmld bundle — into a self-contained AAF for Pro Tools.
What it does that felt worth adding here:
- Every role and subrole becomes a named Pro Tools track, ordered the way a mixer expects: dialogue first, then the roles from the edit, then effects and music.
- Each region keeps the source timecode of its own rush, which keeps conforming possible months later.
- Offline media is relinked by source timecode and exact duration, never by filename, so two rushes sharing a name from different shooting days can't be swapped.
- Multichannel sources are split into mono, because Pro Tools reads interleaved stereo inside an AAF with the wrong stride and turns it into noise.
- Multicam clips are resolved to their active audio angles, compound clips are expanded, and clips whose audio was disabled in the edit stay out.
Reads FCPXML up to 1.14, from Final Cut Pro 10.4 to 12.3. macOS 11+. Nothing is installed — Python and the audio extractor travel inside the app, so no Homebrew, no ffmpeg, no Terminal.
Complete 7-day trial, no watermark, no credit card. One-off price, no subscription.
I'm the developer. Happy to reword anything, or to drop the entry if it isn't a fit for the page.
