I am an assistant editor in film production and I have very basic skills in programming (applescript and currently learning C++) I want to lean how to manipulate an aaf for various work flows on Avid but have no idea where to start.
Could someone advise me of a path to learning how to program in aaf?
Thanks in advance
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Just to get you started… AAF isn't a programming language. It's a file format (like WAV or PDF) so you'd typically write your program in a language that you're confident with (one that can link to the AAF DLLs of course).
I don't think there's a good way to learn about AAF apart from trial and error. There's some reference documentation but I doubt if there are any 'Teach Yourselff' books about AAF, like there'd be for C++ or Visual Basic say. Most people probably teach themselves.
