Transferring Projects and Bins Using AFE Files
AFE (Avid File Exchange) files are an efficient way to transfer project information between Avid applications. For example, you can use AFE files to transfer projects and bins from an offline Media Composer to an Avid|DS finishing system.
 | |
Currently you can import an AFE file into Avid|DS v6.0 or later only.
|
AFE files are based on AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) technology. AFE files, however, are especially designed for sharing project information among Avid applications. AFE files let you transfer one or more bins, their contents, and information about the contents, including master clips, subclips, titles, and sequences.
| |
Specific information for transferring projects to Avid|DS is contained in
the Avid|DS Conform Guide, which is available from the Avid Customer
Support Knowledge Center or the Avid|DS Web site. For information on
accessing the Knowledge Center, see the release notes for your Avid
system.
