AAFFile

✓ from aaf2 import AAFFile

✗ from aaf2 import AAFFile

Basic read and write operations with aaf2.open(). Use 'r' for reading, 'w' for writing.

import aaf2 # Open an existing AAF file with aaf2.open('example.aaf', 'r') as f: for mob in f.content.mobs: print(mob.name) # Create a new AAF file with aaf2.open('output.aaf', 'w') as f: # ... add content ... pass

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe open() function with write mode 'w' will overwrite an existing file without warning. Use 'a' to append or check existence manually.

fix

Do not rely on 'w' for safe updates; always create backups.
