- Description
- 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.
- SPHERE (SPeech HEader Resources) is a file format defined by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and is used with speech audio. SoX can read these files when they contain μ-law and PCM data. It will ignore any header information that says the data is compressed using shorten compression and will treat the data as either μ-law or PCM. This will allow SoX and the command line shorten program to be run together using pipes to encompasses the data and then pass the result to SoX for processing.
