Locates OPAtom mxf files that belong together and creates aaf which contains links to the audio/video opatom files. Mainly designed to be driven by automation tools, especially a commandline executor node in http://ffastrans.com/.
Actually this script is really nothing special, it just utilizes https://github.com/markreidvfx/pyaaf2 to detect which files have the same materialpackage and create a new aaf file using link_external_mxf from pyaaf2.
Using auto-py-to-exe to create the standalone exe file, note that because of that, the exe may be detected as virus on your computer.
Help of the exe file (-h):
usage: createaaf.exe [-h] [--debug DEBUG] [--odir ODIR] [--oname ONAME] [--testmode TESTMODE]
