Do you happen to know what kind of captioning system is required to create the .aaf?

> Wow that sounds very promising. Thanks for the info. So the caption house provides a .aaf file of the caption data. Is that the same type of file they would normally provide to the captioning/dub house? I know there are various file formats that caption data can come in. Is .aaf at all a part of what we equate with aaf's from avid and protools?

Does this actually work? Does this involve the data track and or metadata track? I've never heard of anyone doing this in Avid. I'm very interested in the process.
