Our story
Made by people who work in film and television post
fcp2aaf was started by a sound post-production professional and shaped, release by release, by editors, mixers and post houses who use it on real deliveries.
Where it started
From the sound side of the turnover
I am César Hernández, a sound designer and re-recording mixer. I studied Audiovisual Arts at the University of Guadalajara's Department of Image and Sound, and since 2018 I have worked in sound post-production: Foley, sound editing, sound design and 5.1 mixes for features, documentaries, shorts and series.
Most of my work has been in Foley, on series for Netflix, Prime Video, HBO and ViX+ and on feature films. I co-directed and did the sound for the documentary short La herencia del viento, which was nominated at the Student Academy Awards and was a semifinalist at the BAFTA Student Film Awards.
Turning a Final Cut Pro edit over to the sound department was the part of the job that kept getting in the way. Across the industry, people were looking for new ways to carry that workflow. fcp2aaf is the tool I wanted on my own desk.
Built with the industry
Colleagues joined, then the forums did
It started with colleagues who have worked on large projects for streaming platforms and for cinema. They tested builds against their own deliveries, told me what a sound department actually needs to receive, and pushed for the details that decide whether a turnover is finished.
Little by little more people joined, from many parts of the world. Then film and television forums started talking about it, and the feedback started arriving from editors and post houses I had never met. Most of what it does today came from a project somebody was really delivering.

In their words
What editors say
-
A phenomenally well-designed app that fills a much-needed gap in the post-production workflow. The ability to manage everything directly within the interface and see exactly how your project will appear in Pro Tools is an absolute game-changer. A significant step up from X2Pro, and honestly, it's hard to imagine how this could be designed any better. What makes it even better is having such a receptive software designer who genuinely listens to feedback and understands the needs of the people using the product. An outstanding tool, backed by someone who clearly cares about getting it right. Highly recommended!

Faster, better, and cheaper than X2Pro5! The icing on the cake is that the after-sales service is truly responsive and fast!

This app is a tremendous ally: it solves the FCP to Pro Tools workflow in a way I thought was impossible. The support is up to industry standards, and the beauty of the interface is no small bonus. Very happy with the purchase!
