I am sending an aaf file to my sound designer who will be working with pro tools. I have looked through the various export settings, and i cannot find anything that will allow me to create handles for each of the audio files. Does anyone know how to do this? I chose the "copy media" option, which i guess just copies all the audio that is in the timeline. Should i have chosen consolidate?

Some recommend export media as the way that works for them. The large amount of media involved discourages me from doing it this way.

I like consolidating an audio only timeline, with appropriate handles, using the option that creates a new sequence selected. I then make an embeded AFF of the new consolidated sequence.

Beware of a major bug when you 'copy all media'.  As far as I know it is not fixed. see:
