When importing audio data, the software transforms the audio into a format that can be quickly processed by the
software. This removes the need for the audio to be reprocessed each time it is used. However, due to the caching,
there may be a delay the rst time audio is imported.

CFA les may become very large in size. You can turn o the caching option within Adobe applications, but the
processing time for audio previews may increase.

CFA les are actually created by Adobe Media Encoder, a standalone software component that is included with
programs such as Adobe After E ects, Premiere Pro, and Encore. All such programs reference the same audio cache.
