From AAF to mix-ready.
Automatically.

fPost supports AAF files exported from Avid Media Composer, Pro Tools, Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. Final Cut Pro does not export AAF directly, so it is not supported natively, but a short guide shows how to convert a Final Cut export into an AAF for use with fPost.

Everything that Pro Tools can carry in an AAF survives: fades and crossfades, automation, clip names, and supported plugins and effects are all preserved. Track folder grouping does not come across, because the AAF format does not support it. fPost preserves what is there and never alters the original files.

No. fPost never writes to your original AAF or media. It extracts the AAF and media information temporarily into a local folder purely to analyze it, then builds a new Pro Tools session, so your handoff files stay untouched and you can re-run an import safely.

fPost converts the sample rate so your audio plays back at the correct pitch and speed in your session. Video frame rates are kept as they are, not changed. Matching your session to the source still avoids surprises, but a sample-rate mismatch will not silently push your audio out of sync.

fPost Studio classifies clips into the macro categories dialogue, music and sound effects and lands them in your template. Suite adds deeper recognition down to micro categories such as sync dialogue, instrumental music and foley, plus multi-AAF import, splitting one AAF across sessions and per-clip metadata. Suite is for teams and is currently coming soon.

fPost places clips using on-device content recognition, not brittle track-name matching. The AI-R engine classifies each clip by what it actually contains and lands it in the correct folder and name within your template, so missing or inconsistent names from the editor do not break the prep.

Studio is one seat (EUR 399/year or 149/quarter): AAF import, session reorganization, template matching, naming, macro-category recognition and standard support, with an optional air-gapped Studio Offline. Suite adds micro-category recognition, multi-AAF import, split-across-sessions, per-clip metadata and 24-hour priority support (coming soon). Enterprise adds floating licenses, a license server, an SLA and volume pricing.

Yes. fPost processes everything on-device through the AI-R engine, so your audio never leaves your Mac and nothing is uploaded. The app connects to the internet only at sign-in to verify your license; an air-gapped Studio Offline option exists for fully isolated rooms. This suits facilities handling embargoed film and TV under NDA.

fPost requires Pro Tools 2024.3 or later and macOS 13 or later. There is a single installer that runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, so you do not need to pick a build. The app works offline after sign-in.

Yes. fPost has a 7-day free trial with no credit card. It starts at your first in-product sign-in and expires on its own with no auto-charge; add a card later only to buy. Before importing, the free AAF Checker lets you confirm an AAF will import cleanly at no cost.
