Check any AAF,
free.
Drag in an AAF and see what is inside before you import: tracks, clips, metadata, what survives and what gets lost. No account, no cost, forever.
Drop the file. Read the report.
Drag it in. Done.
No account, no setup, no DAW. Open AAF Checker, drop the file, and it reads every track, clip and metadata field in seconds.
See everything before you import.
Tracks, clips, fades, gains, metadata. AAF Checker shows what survives the import and flags what gets lost, before it costs you an afternoon.
Zero surprises in the session.
You know exactly what is in the file before it touches your timeline. And when you want the import done for you, fPost picks up from here.
Everything you need to trust the file
AAF Checker reads the whole file and tells you the truth about it. No account, no cost, no DAW.
Track & clip report
Every track and every clip in the AAF, listed and inspectable before you import. Counts, names, positions, channel formats. The full picture of what the editor actually sent, in seconds.
Metadata check
Scene, take, channel and source metadata read and verified, field by field.
Fades & gains
See which fades and clip gains survive the import and which do not, before it matters.
Flags issues up front
Anything that would break or get lost in the transfer is flagged before you import, not after.
Built on the same engine as fPost.
AAF Checker reads files with the same core that powers fPost. When you are ready to have the import done for you, the upgrade path is one step.
For everyone who receives files they did not make
Assistant editors, dialogue editors, supervisors and facilities use AAF Checker as the first gate of every turnover.

Let fPost do the import.
Same engine, one step up: fPost takes the AAF you just checked and hands you a session that is routed, named and ready to mix.
The first gate of every turnover.
“fPost handles the copy-pasting, the update chasing, the formatting and the status checks, so your crew can spend that time listening and solving real problems.”
“The prep that used to eat my mornings just happens now. I open the session and it is already done.”
“Even with complex custom-coded automation, I still struggled in the studio. With Forte that burden is gone. Priceless.”
“Forte has changed everything for me when it comes to mix prep. I can't recommend it enough.”
“Check for mono files as stereo, import them, move tracks around, color code, strip silence. Forte makes all of it quicker so you get to the good bit faster.”
“Forte has become a daily part of my Pro Tools workflow. The import and batch stem export is a massive time saver.”
