- 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.
- RealPlayer created RA for audio streaming. It makes use of various audio codecs from those that deliver high-fidelity sounds to those that record low bitrate audio data. Radio stations mainly used it for online streaming, but current formats have overthrown it.
