Exporting as an AAF file

8

When exporting as an AAF file, you can export as an

embedded or non-embedded file. When you choose

the File menu “Export Project...” item the export screen

appears. On this screen, you can set whether to export

an embedded AAF file or a non-embedded AAF file. The

difference between embedded and non-embedded files

is explained below.

Embedded AAF files contain all the information and

audio files for a project. In other words, the entire

project can be stored in a single embedded AAF file

(.aaf). The maximum size of a single AAF file, however,

cannot exceed 2 GB. For this reason, if the total data

of the project exceeds 2 GB (because it has many

tracks and/or very long clips), you must export it as

a non-embedded AAF. If you try to export a project

that is larger than 2 GB as an embedded AAF, an error

message will appear and exporting will be canceled.
Non-embedded AAF files only contain the project

information. When you export this way, a folder that

contains all the audio files will also be created. As with

embedded AAF files, the maximum size is 2 GB, but this

limitation has no practical effect since non-embedded

AAF files do not contain audio files.

Copying a Project

You can make a copy of a project with the X-48MKII, for

instance as a backup to another drive. This copies the

project and all of its wave recordings, unlike Save As...

which only copies the project file.

Mouse/Keyboard Operation

1 Click on the File menu and select File Manager or

press Ctrl-F on the keyboard.

2 You should see the File Manager window with two

panes on the left and right. In the left hand pane,

navigate to the project folder you want to copy

(containing the .ndr file and Audio folder). Click on

this folder so it’s highlighted.

3 Using the controls on the right side, navigate

to where you want to copy the project to, i.e. a

removable eSATA hard drive.

4 When you’re ready to begin copying, press the

>> button under the word Copy between the two

panes.

Backing Up a Project to CD/DVD

Use the built-in DVD drive to make a backup.

Mouse/Keyboard Operation (only)

1 Click on the File menu and select File Manager or

press Control-F on the keyboard.

2 You should see the File Manager window with two

panes on the left and right. In the left hand pane,

navigate to the project folder you want to back up

(containing the .ndr file and Audio folder). Click on

this folder so it is highlighted.

3 In the center pane, click the Backup button.
4 The
Burn Options window should appear. It will tell

you how large the project folder you selected is,

and will give you the option to burn the project

to a 650MB CD , 700MB CD or 4.7GB DVD. You can also

click a checkbox to verify the disk after it has been

burned.

Backups can only be made using the built-in DVD drive

or a different hard disk.
Only one project can be backed up at a time.
