have you looked at the Quickstart example?

[zeeshanmazhar]

@markreidvfx Yes i did, i followed the steps but that aaf file is not importable in protool.

Also, how can i skip the dnxhd file part from that example code, cause i only want to add timecode and rate in the AAF file.

Each program that uses AAF has it has its own oddities, what are you trying to import to? Some programs don't support embed audio and you may need to ama link. a good starting approach is to take a AAF the works with the product in question and match its structure.

import_audio_essence can take a tape kwarg too, I think

@markreidvfx i will follow your advice will try to use import_audio_essence, and will ask my client about where he is trying to import and will get back to you.

Thanks a lot for your help.
