Advanced Authoring Format
The Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) is a professional file interchange format designed for the video post production and authoring environment. AAF was created to help address the problem of multi-vendor, cross-platform interoperability for computer-based digital video production.

AAF does a number of things:

  • Allows complex relationships to be described in terms of an object model.
  • Facilitates the interchange of metadata and/or program content.
  • Provides a way to track the history of a piece of program content from its source elements through final production.
  • Makes downstream rendering possible (with appropriate equipment).
  • Provides a convenient way to "wrap" all elements of a project together for archiving.
