Abstract: The AAF Association introduces the AAF Edit Protocol, a companion to the Advanced Authoring Format Specification, and the AAF Developer's Toolkit. The goal of the AAF Edit Protocol is to provide users with the most reliable mechanism for interchange of complex program metadata. Designed to codify best practices for the storage and exchange of program metadata in AAF files, the Edit Protocol defines constraints to the AAF Specification in order to achieve maximal interoperability of rich edit metadata. The Edit Protocol is the result of contributions from AAF Association member companies and builds on their experience implementing AAF in real products.
