Transfer Final Cut Pro Sequences to Avid Media ComposerBoris AAF Transfer is a custom Apple Final Cut Pro plug-in that lets you export AAF files from Final Cut Pro sequences for import into Avid Media Composer. Because the entire live FCP program sequence is transferred - with media, markers, cuts, dissolves, filters, and audio preserved - the transferred sequence can be edited and finished in the Media Composer timeline without returning to FCP.
Boris AAF Transfer makes working across multiple platforms in multi-user environments less challenging, allowing you to edit Apple Final Cut Pro sequences live in Avid Media Composer - either on the same system or any other Macintosh or Windows Media Composer system.
Feature Highlights
- Alpha Channel Support. Transfer still images and video clips while retaining alpha information, preserving the alpha channel. The transferred sequence appears exactly the same in Media Composer as it did in Final Cut Pro.
- Boris Continuum Complete Compatibility. Transfer BCC filters and transitions that were applied to clips or transitions in the FCP timeline while retaining all of the keyframed changes that were made to the applied filter or transition effect. The BCC filters are seamlessly transferred into Media Composer as long as the corresponding BCC filter or transition effect is present in the Media Composer host where the transferred sequence is opened.
- Motion Tab Support. Boris AAF Transfer translates many of Final Cut Pro's Motion Tab features including basic motion, crop, opacity, and speed.
- Text Generators. Convert FCP's built-in text generators into Avid Title Tool effects.
- Time Effects. Boris AAF Transfer supports many of FCP's time-based effects.
