<p>

|
It has never been particularly easy to move sessions or projects from one
|
|
<abbr title="Digital Audio Workstation">DAW</abbr> to another. There are two
|
|
<dfn>interchange standards</dfn> that have reasonably widespread support:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>OMF (Open Media Framwwork), also known as OMFI. Developed and controlled
|
|
by Avid, never standardized</li>
|
|
<li>AAF (Advanced Authoring Format). Developed by a consortium of media-related
|
|
corporations.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In practice both of these standards have such complex and/or incomplete
|
|
specifications that different DAWs support them only partially,
|
|
differently, or not at all.
