Welcome to the Advanced Authoring Format Developers website.

The AAF software developer's kit (SDK) provides an API that can be used to import and export digital video, audio and associated metadata between applications. The SDK includes example source code and utilities for creating, using and examining AAF files. The SDK is distributed under an Open Source software license.

The AAF SourceForge project page hosts the developer discussion forums and allows you to browse the CVS source tree.

Additional golden files, example code, validation tools etc. are available to AAF Association members. Contact info@aafassociation.org for more information.
