Abletonlive.aaf — Import AAF timelines directly into Ableton Live
Hey everyone,
I built a tool that solves a workflow problem I kept running into: getting timelines from other DAWs/NLEs into Ableton Live without manually rebuilding everything.
What it does:
Reads AAF files and generates ready-to-use .als projects with:

• Precise audio clip placement matching your original timeline
• Volume automation transferred to mixer tracks
• Clip gain values preserved
• Fade and crossfade handling
• Marker import

Works with AAF exports from:

• Pro Tools
• Premiere Pro
• DaVinci Resolve
• Audition
• Media Composer
• Nuendo/Cubase

Demo video:

Requirements:
Ableton Live 10+ (Intro, Standard, or Suite)
Windows 10/11 or macOS 10.14+
There's a free trial with 5 conversions if you want to test it with your own files.

Thank you so much

We usually don't accept users coming here ONLY to promote their products.
We apply this rule with a pinch of "flexibility", especially if someone like you offers something a lot of users have been asking for years and years.
That being said, this is NOT a marketplace. So please be responsible with your posting.
Thx, the mods.
