This article describes what an AAF file is, how to open it, and how to convert it to another file format, such as MP3, MP4, or WAV.

A file with the AAF file extension is an Advanced Authoring Format file. It contains complex multimedia information such as video and audio clips, as well as metadata information for that content and project.

Most video editing applications use proprietary formats for their project files. When multiple applications support importing and exporting AAF files, it is easy to move the working contents of a project from one application to another.

The format was developed by the Advanced Media Workflow Association and is standardized by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.
