Can't export audio from FCP to Soundtrack Pro

I'm running FCP 5.0.2 and have Soundtrack Pro 1.0. I'm trying to export audio tracks from a long FCP project I'm working on to ST Pro to clean them up. As shown in Apple's online demo videos, I want to export an audio track and then remove 'pops' and do noise reduction, etc. In FCP I right click the audio track I want and go down to 'Send To' but the option for "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" is grayed out and I can't click it.
If I unlink the tracks and then right click the audio track and 'Send To', the "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" isn't grayed out and looks like it would work. But that is only highlighting one audio track, not the other stereo track and not the video track. In the demo video all three were highlighted but when I relink all tracks and try to 'Send To' I get the grayed out "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" again.
Is there something I need to do or a step I'm missing.

You might be onto something Randy. I noticed in the Timeline if I tried to send an imported .AIF music clip to 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project' it would allow it and the option wasn't grayed out. So I looked in my Browser window and checked out the file attributes to every clip which are listed to the right of the names. Sure enough, under the AUDIO column the .AIF music files are listed as '1 Stereo' and the rest of my captured video clips are listed in the AUDIO column as '2 Mono'.
So was there a setting for me to choose during Log and Capture that would have made them '1 Stereo' as opposed to '2 Mono'? Or is this a preference setting somewhere to change that for next time? They were recorded on my camera in stereo I'm pretty sure.
Now in terms of the massive project I've already captured and edited, should I be able to export these mono tracks individualy and fix them as needed? When I click the 'Send to' 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project File' for these single mono tracks it asks me to 'Save' the file somewhere, is there a proper place to do this or just anywhere on the HD?
Thanks

  • Missing Audio from FCP to Soundtrack Pro in Final Cut Studio 2

    I've been trying to edit a sequence from Final Cut Pro 6 in Soundtrack 2 by sending the sequence to soundtrack as a multitrack project. For some reason, when I send it, multiple audio files from the original sequence are completely missing, and I have no clue why. They're .mov files from the original import of footage.
    Anyone know why these don't transfer and how to fix it?

    Hi
    I too have had trouble with Audio from FCP 6 messing up in STP 2. My opinion is that the process works if the audio tracks in FCP are either Mono sourced or stereo sourced and are never relinked, split to mono (in the case of stereo files) in FCP during editing. God forbid you unpair a stereo track and delete one channel!
    Once in STP I have had occasions where non audio appears, the wrong track appears... or sometimes the wrong audio!
    Once in a while double clicking on the offending clip in STP to open it in a Wave window seems to show the right audio. Either saving it of closing the window ( command/w) restores the right material to the clip in STP.
    You could right click on the audio in FCP and "send to STP Audio Project". Hopefully the correct audio is opened in STP. Then save it. Now re-export the Multitrack project and see if the audio makes the trip.
    Or, you could export the Audio directly from FCP, then import it into STP and position it against the video manually.
    One warning : once things start going pear shaped in the FCP-STP workflow, it's my experience that I'm fighting problems all the way. It's why I don't use STP for FCP mixing .... I want to, but its too risky.
    I hope V3 is better.

  • Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?

    (1) Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?
    (2) If not, can I convert with the help of Compressor 4 to make it to play in WMV?

    No to both. You need third party software to create WMV. Telestream has tools for this.

  • Exporting from FCP to Soundtrack Pro looses files!!!

    I'm working on a project shot on an f900 HD camera with the tapes downconverted to HD-DVCPro to quicktimes. I sb-clipped the QT and I re-synced the audio with the .wav tracks recorded on set. My sequence is set up for a .wav project. I've exported a sequence from FCP by using both Send to Soundtrack Pro and exporting to Soundtrack pro. In both cases I received an error and when I went back to FCP some of my clips were gone. They weren't in the trash or in the Capture folder> I did a search for the file names and they had vanished, or had been renamed. Anyone had this problem before? Should I dump the STP then re-install it? I'll look at Apple support page. Is there a problem between the .wav and aiff? Can Soundtrack Pro bring in .wav or is it only aiff?

  • Can't export EDL from FCP sequence

    I've been trying for days, weeks now, to export an EDL from my Final Cut Pro 6 sequence.  I keep getting the same error message:
    The media files of one or more clips are missing reel names and may also be missing timecode tracks.  Proceeding with the export will result in an EDL that cannot capture or reconnect all the media used.
    I went through all my clips and added reel names, went to Modify-->Timecode to give reel names and timecode to slugs and music tracks, and nothing seems to be working.  If I take just a piece, it works fine, but the whole thing just won't work, even though I've gone through it twice.  There is one clip that somehow (I don't know how) became variable speed.  There's actually a lot of speedramped clips and some SmoothCam slips that need to be reanalyzed. Could any of this be the problem?  It's driving me crazy. Help!

    What are you using the EDL for?
    What is the physical media the EDL is going to point to (tape, DAT, film, etc)?
    An EDL is normally used to allow a computer to acquire the media necessary to build your sequence from physical media sources - and as such you would not want to be arbitrarily changing reel numbers and TC tracks, etc.
    If your media is digital - camera files, audio files, etc, then you don't want to use an EDL to move the project from one computer to another, as the EDL would then not contain any useful information, other that edit durations.
    If this is the case, you want to move your project by taking all your digital media to the new computer (on an external dirve{s}), and then open your FCP project and reconnect to those drives.

  • Can't export .flv from FCP!

    Hello, I am new to these forums and to flash so any help is appreciated.
    Here's my problem. I am trying to export a .flv from FCP. I know that I can't do it directly so I was able to get my hands on a copy of Flash CS4 from my boss. I installed it onto my computer but none of the export options have been updated to included the .flv option. I am pretty sure that I have to install a plugin or something but I am not sure what or where that info is?
    Also, what will yield a better looking video? Exporting from FCP to Compressor? or Exporting a QT reference video and using Adobe Media Encoder?
    Thanks for the help.

    Perhaps we're just arguing about semantics, but the fact is that it will play successfully in the flash viewer and I have been delivering h264 files to webdesigners for the last 6 months which are simply renamed with the flv extension. And if this is what the OP needs to do, it will work for him. Do some searching here and you'll see this is common practice. If you look at what formats the last few iterations of the flash player will accept, you'll see h264 is fine.

  • New to Soundbooth....How can I export audio from a .flv file?

    Hi,
    I am sorta new to SB.  My girlfriend has purchased a study program that has numerous .flv files on a DVD.  She has asked if I can take the audio and convert each movie to an .mp3, (so that she can listen to the videos on her Iphone).  I figured I could open them in SB and then export as an .mp3, which would work fine on her Iphone.
    The problem I run into is that when I open the .flv files in SB, the video appears, but the audio doesnot.  The .flv videos play fine in every other program.  Am I doing something wrong?  I figure since she purchased the DVDs (and owns the study program), that I am not doing anything illegal by removing the audio.  Are they encrypted?
    Any other way to do this?
    Thanks,
    G

    Use the Share menu. Choose Export Using QuickTime.
    Choose Sound to AIFF.

  • Can't import audio from clip into Premiere Pro CC.

    I can export a clip, with audio, from Premiere Pro, but when I import it back into PP the audio track is missing.  I noticed that when I delete the .xmp file from the file folder the audio will import with the clip successfully.  Can someone please instruct me as to how I can edit the .xmp file so as to correct this problem?  Thanks.

    I export a clip using the "match sequence settings".
    Mmm, don't ever use that.  It's for people who don't know what they're doing, and often causes more problems that it solves.
    Better to know what you're doing and set up your export manually.  Try that, then report back what happens.

    Final Cut Pro sound export for mastering.....sync problem
    Hey,
    I'm editing a 30 minute film and I have done most of the sound edit in FCP and Soundtrack pro and I want to now bring all the sound into pro tools to master the sound but every time i export sound into pro tools it seems to stretch by two or three seconds.
    I have tried OMF, AIFF, XML, and Quicktime audio file sut to no avail!!!!
    There are 50 tracks in the file so it is quiet large. It's not that there are handles of the file also as when I sync the file with the audio track with the video it syncs in one place but it is still out of sync in another.........It's as if the audio has been stretched!?!
    If anyone has any advice it'd be much appreciated
    Keith

    Check the timecode rate and sync options in Protools. It sounds like a timecode or samplerate mismatch.
    Especially note that 23.976fps OMFs from FCP (probably STP as well) show up in Protools as 24fps sessions. Change the PTs timecode to 23.976 to realign.

  • Problem when exporting audio from Premiere Pro v4.2.1 into wave 5.1 format

    Hello to Adobe experts!
    After installing of last updates for Adobe Premiere Pro (v4.2.1) and for Media Encoder (v4.2.0.006) the was a problem:
    Now I cannot to export audio from adobe sequence into uncompressed wave format with 5.1 channels settings. Source m2ts video files in sequence are with 5.1 audio.
    What I doing:
    1) in Premiere I execute "File\Export\Media"
    2) Export settings are:
    - format: Windows Waveform
    - audio codec: Ucompressed
    - basic audio settings: 44100Hz, Channels: 5.1, Sample Type 16bit
    3) After OK button it opens Adobe Media Encoder.
    4) After pressing Start Queue in Adobe Media Encoder there is a message "Error compiling movie. Unknown error"
    In earlier versions it worked fine.
    Can you help me with this problem?
    Alexander

    Here are the options, from a sequence with 5.1 master track:
    and with Surcode:
    Notice that first one does only give stereo as an option. Nothing more. With Surcode it gives you 5.1 sound.

  • Exporting text from fcp

    I have a lot of separate text boxes in my sequence. Since I can' t do a spell check in fcp, I was wondering if i can export all the text boxes out as a plain text document to do a spell check.
    I tried exporting as a xml document, but navigating through all the tags was quite a problem.
    TIA for any suggestions.

    Usual workflow is following.
    1. Put all Text-generator clips to one track
    2. Export sequence to XML
    3. Launch TitleExchange, point to exported XML and say where to put converted file.
    Exporting to STL you'll get text file like that
    +00:01:27:26 ,00:01:29:26 ,They had this idea that+
    +00:01:29:30 ,00:01:30:31 ,behind scary+
    ... which you can open in any spell-checker.
    We use TitleExchange to bring subtitles from FCP to DVD Studio and back (in case we need subtitled DVD and Betacam output)
    Though, this may be much expensive way of checking spelling (135 Euro per TE licence).
    There are lots of subtitle software, I only wanted to mention a way of exporting text from FCP with help of subtitle processors.

  • On iMovie how can you mute a section of the sound track so you can hear the audio from the video clip?

    .

    Hey,
    If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.
    A great resource for finding answers to questions like this is http://www.imovietutorialhelp.com
    You can ask questions just like these and they will be answered for you. If you need a tutorial video made or anything like that, you can go there as well and ask for a video to made as well. Check it out.

  • NTSC to PAL - Export straight from FCP or use an mpeg file?

    I was reading this
    http://www.macworld.com/article/49306/2006/02/marchcreate.html
    however it does not mention what to bring into compressor.
    Should I export my ntsc sequence straight from FCP into compressor, or should I drag an ntsc mpeg file I aldeady made into compressor? Ive been trying the latter but can't do much as each step gives me the spinning beach ball for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Thanks much.

    Yes, you should export directly from FCP Using Compressor. Exporting to a heavily compressed MPEG-file, and then converting that from NTSC to PAL makes no sense. You would want your video to go through as few conversions/generations as possible.

  • How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

    HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it
