Your cut, ready
when Media Composer opens
Edit points, tracks and speakers
The edit points, track layout and speaker labels come across, so the sequence you open is the cut you made in Selects.
Synced before you start
Selects syncs every camera and mic by waveform or timecode and switches angles when you ask, so the logging and the syncing are done before the AAF is written.
Just say it
Type what you want the way you'd tell an editor. These are the kind of prompts that work.
Prompt: Cut the 40 minute interview down to 12. Keep the answers about the founding and drop the small talk
Prompt: Find every shot of the workshop and put them in a folder called Workshop
Prompt: Sync the three cameras and cut to whoever is talking
How it works
Drop in the whole shoot
Ask for the sync, the selects or the rough cut
Hand off, then double-click the .aaf
Sync, log and cut before Media Composer opens.

FAQ
How do I open a Selects edit in Avid Media Composer?
- Click Export in the top right and choose Avid Media Composer under Handoff to.
- Choose where to save the AAF file.
- Double-click the saved file to open it in Media Composer.
What comes across in Media Composer?
The edit points, tracks and speaker labels, with every clip referencing your original media.
Does my color or audio mix come across?
No. Effects, color and text overlays stay behind in a handoff, and transitions arrive as cuts.
If you grade and finish in Media Composer, that's where they happen.
Which other editors can Selects hand off to?
Adobe Premiere (.prproj), Final Cut Pro (.fcpxml) and DaVinci Resolve (.drp). Every handoff carries the same cut, so you can finish in whichever editor your team uses.
