Exporting Sequences from Avid

When you are ready to export projects from the Avid application, you must export each sequence separately as an AAF file, since Smoke does not support Bins or Batch lists.

You can, however, export sequences which contain nested sequences and the nested sequences will be translated into containers in Smoke.

Use commands in the Avid File menu to export AAF Interchange Format documents.

To export AAF from Avid:

1. Select a sequence in the Browser window that you want to export in an interchange format document.
   NoteIf nothing is selected, the entire contents of the Browser are exported. However, Smoke only supports AAF files with a single sequence of edited clips.
2. Choose File | Export | AAF.
3. In the Export As dialog box, click Options.
4. In the Options dialog box, click Export As and, from the drop-down list, select AAF.
5. Click Save.
6. In the Export As dialog box, click Save.
