- The Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) file is a professional multimedia file format used for video editing and post-production. It is designed to facilitate the exchange of media and metadata between different video editing software and systems. AAF files contain multimedia content such as video and audio streams, along with comprehensive metadata that describes the content and the structure of the media project. This includes information on edits, transitions, effects, and more. The format is aimed at improving workflow efficiency and interoperability among various tools and platforms.
- AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file format designed for recording and playing back high definition video. It is commonly used in digital camcorders and cameras for capturing HD footage. AVCHD leverages the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression codec, which efficiently reduces file sizes while preserving high-quality video resolution, and supports both Dolby AC-3 and linear PCM audio codecs for high-quality sound.
