How it works

From AAF to ready-to-mix, in three clicks

Step 1 · Drop the AAF

Open it. That is the whole job.

Drag in the AAF or open an existing session. fPost reads every clip, track and metadata field before anything touches your timeline.

Step 2 · Recognition

AI-R classifies, your template decides.

The on-device engine recognizes dialogue, music and SFX and matches everything to your template. Review it all in the Visualizer before it touches Pro Tools: fades, gains, automation and timecode land intact.

Step 3 · Mix, not prep

The session is ready when fPost is.

You get a clean session, organized the way you would have done it by hand. Zero manual edits, hours back per episode.

Thirty seconds, start to session.

One AAF, dropped in. Watch fPost classify it, match the template and build the session in Pro Tools. No cuts, no speed-up.

Features

Hours of prep, cut from every turnover

fPost covers the whole prep chain: import, recognition, organization, naming. You open the session and mix.

AAF Import

Import one AAF or a whole batch in a single pass, from any NLE: Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro. Clips, fades, gains, automation and timecode land intact, and fPost flags what cannot survive the import before it touches your timeline.

PTX Sessions

Open and reorganize existing Pro Tools sessions, including the ones that arrive from Media Composer. fPost works on what you already have, not just new imports.

manual edits on import, every time

Split AAF into DX / MX / SFX

fPost splits any AAF into dedicated Dialogue, Music and SFX sessions automatically. What used to take hours of manual prep is now one click.

Metadata forensics

fPost reads deep into every clip’s metadata: channel name, scene, take, source TC, NLE origin. Anything incomplete is flagged before it becomes a problem.

Learn once. Match every job.

fPost integrates with the session template you already use. Teach it once and every import lands named, ordered and structured to match it.

Who it is for

Built for the rooms where deadlines live

Post houses, freelance mixers and sound editors run fPost where turnover pressure is highest.

Film

Feature post

Reels in, sessions prepped to your stage template, ready for the dub. fPost handles the turnover so the mix starts on day one.

Episodic & series

Same template across every episode, automatically. Turnovers stop eating the schedule and naming never drifts between sessions.

Freelance

Freelance mixers

One person, facility-grade prep. fPost does the assistant work so the whole day goes to the mix.

Editorial

Sound editors

Sessions arrive split and structured: dialogue, music and effects already separated before the edit starts.
