Import and Organize
Import from AAF
Use this workflow when your session arrives as an AAF file. fPost imports it into Pro Tools fully organized (classified, routed, and colored) in one step.
From the Home Screen, drag your .aaf file onto the fPost window or click Import files. fPost reads the session and classifies all clips automatically.
Check the classification results. Use the Selector and Grabber tools to move any clips that landed on the wrong track. Rename or reorder tracks as needed. Nothing touches Pro Tools yet.
This opens the import configuration panel. Choose your target Pro Tools session: use the current open session, browse for a .ptx file, or create a new session.
Set your media handling, timecode mapping, and any track offsets. Most projects work fine with the defaults. See Import Settings for a full breakdown of every option.
Map each incoming track to a template track in Pro Tools. Template tracks are duplicated during import, so your plugins, sends, and routing carry over. Set category defaults in Settings to speed this up.
fPost runs 5 steps: preparing tracks, importing the AAF, combining stereo pairs, applying your clip movements, and coloring tracks. A progress dialog shows each step in real time.
When import finishes, click Go to Pro Tools to switch directly to your session. Everything is already in place.
