Embedded Media and Linked
Media
There are two types of AAF and OMF files: ones with em-
bedded media, and ones with linked media.
Embedded Media
Exporting to AAF or OMF with embedded media results
in one large AAF or OMF file containing both the meta-
data and all associated media files.
Figure 1 is a sample AAF and OMF workflow with em-
bedded media.
When working with OMF embedded media or cre-
ating AAF embedded audio, Pro Tools limits file
size to 2 GB. However, you may be able to use
Pro Tools to open an AAF embedded audio file
larger than 2 GB if it was exported from another
source.
