Premiere project and Picture/audio AAF, explained

Picture cuts at normal speed and the sequence rate keep their placement and source trims. Supported audio edits keep gain and markers. Nests, mixed-rate picture, retimes and proprietary effects need a different handoff. We have tested import in DaVinci Resolve. We have not confirmed that Avid Media Composer accepts these files.

Moves picture cuts, audio edits and markers to an AAF that links your media. Nests, retimes and effects are flagged. Media Composer import is untested. It is free to start, encrypted in transit, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.

Premiere to picture/audio AAF FAQ

Is this full Avid compatibility?

No. We have not confirmed that Media Composer opens these files natively. This is a limited picture and audio interchange path, and the conversion warnings list what it leaves out.

Is media embedded?

No. The AAF references original media. Your project and media stay on your computer.

Questions, answered

Where are my files processed?

In your browser. The file never leaves your computer, and CutConvert only records that a conversion happened. We never see, store, sell or share your media.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Files up to about an hour of footage convert free on every converter. CapCut projects are free up to 500 KB. Guests get five conversions a month; a free account has no monthly cap within the free size caps. Bigger files are $3 each, or $5 for a project conversion from one program to another. Pro is $9 a month ($90 a year) for files up to 50 MB. Studio is $19 a month ($190 a year) for files up to 500 MB.

What do I get when I convert multiple files?

One ZIP with every converted file. A single file comes back on its own. Press + to add more output formats: they go in the same ZIP, and each file still counts as one conversion.
