First, prepare the sequences in your Avid application that will be exported as AAF. These sequences are then imported into Backdraft Conform to be worked on in a timeline.

1. Do one of the following:
   • If you are editing from tape, perform logging and capture from a VTR in the Avid application. See Logging and Capturing from Tape in Avid.
   • If you are editing from files, verify that the supported media specifications and network configuration links are still valid for accessing the file-based media. See Relinking to File-based Media.
2. Edit and add effects/transitions in your Avid application. See Supported and Unsupported Transitions and Effects.
3. Export AAF sequences from Avid applications. See Exporting Sequences from Avid.
4. Import AAF from the Interchange menu, then recapture or relink the media. See Importing AAF Files.
5. Work on the recaptured project and/or finish it for final output.
