Timewarp AAF Davinci Resolve Avid problem

Recommended Posts

Yes, this is one of the limitations of trying to get one piece of software to correctly interpret speed changes created in another. When you consider that you can subtly alter a speed curve using bezier handles, it's hardly surprising.

This is not only a problem with AAFs from Avid - I've seen XMLs from FCP which show the same sorts of problems. Your options are to either bake the speed into the clip before export, or use the offline reference movie to tweak the the effect until it matches.

It's frustrating that the developers can't sit down with each other and find a solution for issues like this

The Advanced Media Workflow Association are the people who created AAF. Looking at their website, I can't seem to find much about AAF development but they do list liaison organisations such as SMPTE and The EBU.

Interestingly, if you look at the 'Project Owner' for the AAF Edit Protocol, it's Phil Tuder - someone who (by his email address) seems to work for the BBC. Don't know if anyone here knows Phil, but he may be able to shed some light on future AAF development.
