Error Message when Opening AAF File
Hello,
When attempting to open/import an AAF file, I am getting the following message: "Could not complete your request because file is not a Pro Tools session or OMFI file.. " I have opened AAF files before so PT does support them, so I'm a bit puzzled by this message. Any ideas? Thanks, Sean |

Re: Error Message when Opening AAF File
Sounds like a corrupt AAF. Like something crashed while it was being generated.

Re: Error Message when Opening AAF File
Funny - I'm getting the same error message using PT12.7.1, just a few days after Sean. According to AVID's Knowledgebase, it's an error message that came up with an early version of PT11 when network drives had the same name, but I'm not on a network. I also tried importing the same AAF on a different machine running 12.5 and got the same error message, so maybe it is a corrupt AAF, but I find it odd that Sean had the same problem a week ago.
***EDIT*** So apparently it was a bad AAF, and the editor sent a new one that worked, but after working on it for several hours I went to bed, and got the same error when trying to open the session the next day. It seems the session was still trying to reference the AAF, even though I had selected "Copy audio from Source" when importing the AAF. The AAFs were generated from an AVID, so you'd think they'd be compatible, but no. Anyway, the only fix was to open a new session and import all the tracks, AND THEN (this is very important) SAVE a copy and include audio files! This forces Pro Tools to make new copies of all the audio files it was still referencing from the AAF. Your first new session won't work, it will still try to reference the AAF and crash on opening, but the copy will work.
