Final Cut and Soundtrack Pro

Just recently upgraded to Lion and having issues now with FCP and now Soundtrack Pro. I never had any problems until the upgrade, also noticed that my Quicktime Pro is gone, which I used all the time for making flv files for my website for all those in the world who insist on not loading QT on their machines. I am having to use QT 7.6.6 to do that and my flash files are doing strange things.

Yes, it's supposed to flash like that because I degraded the footage, but not that bad. It has never done anything like that before.
Another problem I'm having is I have a Macbook Pro hooked up to an old 20" Apple Cinema Display DVI late 2005, I never had issues with it, but now when I got to full screen on my FCP it is making strange lines in the footage as it play back. Never did this before, when I display on the 15" laptop monitor, no issues.
Soundtrack Pro crashed on me 3 times this morning, never does that.
Anyone else having any problems? I'm afraid to upgrade to the new FCP because of what I"m reading online about it. I think Apple needs to release a fix for this or are they trying to force us to use the new version and not worried about the old version? I am a professional who using these apps daily to do my job and it is causing me time that I am losing money on.
Please fix Apple we depend on these apps to work. Wish I had not upgraded to Lion now!

Why are you being forced to use the new version of anything... including the operating system?
If you are a professional then you always stick with what works and/or use what it takes to get the job done.
STP is not supported under Lion, it's been discontinued, EOL.
I worry about you Mac folks.... the days of auto-upgrading to the latest and "greatest" are over, "It Just Works" only pertains to iMovie, Garageband and apps included with the OS.
Apple is a hardware company, their software is designed to sell hardware, Lion requires more memory and processing power as does FCPX.

Method of navigating inconsistent among Final Cut and Soundtrack Pro

I'm quite annoyed that navigation along the timeline is not the same in Soundtrack Pro as it is in Final Cut. Is anyone else bothered by this? Have you ever read a good explanation?
John Link

It certainly would. Adobe pulled down a lot of their software so they could rewrite it from scratch, to make it work uniformly. Maybe Apple's heading the same way in the background. Ever use Color? That too has entirely different origins and a completely different UI and workflow.

Final Cut to Soundtrack Pro Audio Drift

I have Final Cut Pro 7 and Soundtrack Pro 3 (the latest ones) and I can't figure out why when I send my audio to Soundtrack Pro the edits are off. I'm using multitrack multitrack project and exporting from Final Cut, but my in point on my audio clips changes to a little earlier and ends a little earlier. It's like it's drifting. I'm using aif files. Everything seems normal. I thought this version of Final Cut Studio would enable me to easily do this.
Any ideas?
BTW I am running Snow Leopard, but that should be a good thing right?

You are pushing the envelope working in fcp6 in Mavericks. Did you do a clean install of Mavericks and FCP? That's usually the way to get a stable system. Here's a user tip on Installing OS and FCP

As a workaround, can you just save an aiff in soundtrack pro and bring that in to fcp?

Live capturing from Panasonic AG-HVX200 using Final Cut and MacBook Pro

Does anyone know if the MacBoko Pro using Final Cut can capture live 1080i video from a Panasonic AG-HVX200 to an external firewire hard drive?

Great info. I'll get on those other forums.
Not that it is an 'issue,' but to answer the question I was INITIALLY thinking of getting a laptop just to capture video, and edit on my desktop. But I see that the advice of getting the biggest baddest laptop would be a better idea and I've read others say that being able to edit 'on the road,' is a great potential.
I checked out the only tested and approved by Panasonic Firestore and it's the FOCUS FS-100 that comes standard with a 100GB hard drive that provides 1.5 hours of DVCPRO HD recording time with a list price of $2,195.00.
(If using PAL, you need the PAL version)
Other than the valuable other forums mentioned here, I found a good site for FAQ's for the Mac/AG-HVX-200/FCP, at: https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/cs/csregistp2m/ep2main/faq/p2faq .htm
These FAQ's, above, say that "going directly into a PC is possible, but it may fail to record some frames per second. This depends on the performance of PC. So we do not recommend this method."
There is a rebate if buying the USA warrentied camera before the end of the year: a free 8GB P2 card (advertised as a $1,200 value)
I think this answers all my questions about this topic. Thanks everyone for the info and the patience.
P.S. - There is a free contest, BTW, to win the biggest badest laptop, the 17"-MacBook Pro, at http://www.pcmag.com (of all places!)

Sending a Subclips audio from Final Cut to Soundtrack Pro

After reading the manual very carefully, I am still unable to send audio to SoundTrack Pro Effectively.
When I have Several clips in a sequence (or even just one) I can select "Send to Multitrack Project." However, even when selecting a single clip from either the browser, or on the timeline "send to audiofile project" is always greyed out, and at this stage in my audio work that's what I need to do! I'm trying to remove background noise, and do other various post work to individual clips.
I have discovered that if I unlink the audio and video, I can send either the right, or left track of the audio to SoundTrack Pro as an audiofile project. The audio was recorded as mono on two tracks and captured on an XL2 as DV Footage.
Can someone please point me in the right direction as to what I need to do? Thanks.

Jonathan:
You can only send single tracks to "audio file projects."
Try saving the two tracks you want to send as a stereo pair.

Final cut w/ soundtrack pro

When I try to send audio from a clip to Soundtrack pro, my "send to Soundtrack as an audio file' is greyed out. I can only send as a multitrack project. Why? and what should I do?

Do you have more than one audio clip selected? You can only send one audio clip at a time to STP as an audio FILE project. Any more than one is a Multitrack project.

Final Cut to soundtrack pro - Error message

Hi all, I've been using soundtrack pro to edit a FC movie. On trying to apply it back into the movie I get an error message wich to me is
total gobbley gook, it reads.
NS range Exception.
Cannot remove an Observer <Audio File Envolope Track Leader View>
for the key path "meter Jack Order" from

What do I have to do to apply the edited file back into my FC project?

Where to buy more cinematic musics for Final cut's SoundTrack???

I love the cinematic musics included in garageband and soundtrack like
there's this piano song called "Newborn"
Others are like
-Broadcast News Long
-Celestial Body Long
-Investigation Long
-Medal Ceremony Long
-Piano Ballad
In Garageband these are in the Jingles section and in SoundTrack they are also somewhere in there
I'm not exactly sure where they c ame from but i bought 2 jampacks for garageband way back, so they may be from there or where already in garageband. Anyways, these are the kind i want. I want lots, of course i'm willing to buy them online. But is there a site that sellls those kinds of cinematic short music compositions?
I have Final Cut and SoundTrack 1.5

hey there jonsondonson,
you can use Acid loops in GB & ST/STP, they have samples from their CD collections for listening to on-line, but i don't know if they're downloadable.
see this link: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/loop_libraries/?keycode=7777-4701

Compressor and Soundtrack Pro not installing even if Final Cut isn't there

Hello,
I have a problem installing Compressor and Soundtrack Pro that I don't know how to solve.
The "read me" note of the software says, "Warning: Soundtrack Pro 3 and Compressor 3.5 contain updated components that are incompatible with Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier. If the Logic Studio installer detects Final Cut Studio 2 or earlier on your system, it automatically deselects the checkboxes for Soundtrack Pro and Compressor in the Custom Install pane."
Problem is, I've never had Final Cut Studio installed and the installer still deselects Compressor and Soundtrack Pro, and I cannot find a way to install them.
I'm using a new MacBook Pro and everything is up to date on it. I haven't installed much of anything else on this machine either.
Can anyone help?

Final Cut Pro - Motion and Soundtrack Pro

Hi there people, I have some serious issues, I am using Final Cut Pro, which works fine but I did some updates from apple and now Motion and Soundtrack Pro don't work, I try opening the applications and It pops up with asking me to enter to serial number but when I enter the serials it states it's invalid!
I tried going in to the MacHD then getting rid of the ID for Final Cut Pro but it does not seem to work.
Firstly is anyone having these issues and secondly does anyone have a fix, I called Apple and they had no answers!
Please help!
GloriousGoat!

I'll bet you installed prokit6-- that seems to be a big no no with some machines-os combinations. Search the forum for fixes/downgrades.
In the future, try not to be a bleeding edge first user of updates. Wait a while and see what sort of issues arise.

Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD and Soundtrack Pro 1.0.2 and new Intel iMac

I have the both FCP and Soundtrack Pro versions listed above. I'm thinking about picking up a new Intel iMac. Will I have to pay $199 or $99 to upgrade to FCP Studio. I just purchased Soundtrack Pro recently, if I could upgrade for just $99 and get Shake and iDVD that would be a deal...probably still a deal for $199.
I also use CS2, seems Adobe is a little confusing to me. Will I have to pay to get CS2 native for the Intel iMac? Any idea on cost and timeliness.
Separately, how will FCP run on a 20" Intel iMac once upgraded to Universal version, which I'll have to do, since it won't run under Rosetta? I currently only do Mini DV but should I plan on getting the extra video memory now, planning on eventually going into the HD video realm?
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments...thinking about getting the Intel iMac via CompUSA with their interest free deals tomorrow.

Powebook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) Happy with Mac...don't want to lose the ease!

well, same situation here, I was about to order a Macbook Pro but then decided to saty with our beloved G platform. the reason is that it will take some time for our Pro Apps to become fully /natively compatible with Intel and I just can't wait that much.
as for your question about using an iMac with FCP, the answer would be a;
"Yes" if you're going to work with DV only footage (using an external HD for your captured media is a must). and a
"No" if you plan to work with HD material in the future. there you've got no choice but a PowerMac G5 with a fast Graphic Card and a special SD/HD card or box to capture the footage.
résumé: if you're a serious FCP user, go for something expandible, go for a Powermac.

Ok, I thought I could do a project in my new Final Cut Pro X. I got everything downloaded on Final Cut and I made my Project. The problem is is has taken so long to render that I don't have time. How do I download the video from Final Cut to Imovie?

Your media is stored in Final Cut Events folder > "name of event" > original media. The Final Cut Events folder is in your movies folder or at the root level of an external drive if you are using one to store your media. Simply open iMovie and under file menu select import movies. Navigate to the original media folder and import your clips to Imovie event library.

Final Cut and Pro Tools

I recently installed Final Cut Express on my iMac. I also have Pro Tools 7.4.2 on my machine. When I went to open Final Cut, everything slowed to a screaming halt. One problem was that Final Cut was latching on to my Waves bundle for Pro Tools when it opened. After that, when I restarted my computer it took over five minutes for the desktop to load up. Apple tech support walked me through removing Final Cut, and reinstalling Leopard, but I'm wondering if there's a way for Final Cut and Pro Tools to co-exist. I'm not opening or using them at the same time. 2 BG

The apps should certainly coexist peacefully. If you want to prevent Final Cut from loading your Waves bundle (or any other Audio Units you have installed) then you have to move these units in and out of your /Library/Audio folder. Perhaps worth investigating would be the free AU Manger app for handling these plugs as sets

Is mac book pro good enough to run final cut and after effects?

is mac book pro good enough to run final cut and after effects?

Yes it is. I have two at my office working fine.
Just note. FCP has already delivered the universal binary so you won;t have any trouble. For After Effects, Adobe has not released the binary yet so the worst that will happen is that you might have a little delay opening the application. We are a professional media organization and we can rely on our intel based macs. Don't worry.

Workflow between fcp and soundtrack pro

i am working on getting the workflow between final cut pro and soundtrack pro right for several weeks now, and i have to say, i expected more.
not that all the special gadgets aren't there, they are just not working the way they describe them in their manual or other sources.
am i the only who has made such experiences working with these tools?
for example: if i want to send a single clip from my timeline to soundtrack, there should be the possibility to have in and out points, so that final cut doesn't send the whole clip (even the parts i don't use ) to soundtrack. cool feature if it would work! no matter what you do it always sends the whole clip to soundtrack and therefore saves the whole file with all the changes and effects. and we don't talk about 8 or 9 MB here. a single clip of 1 minute, altered with EQ, takes up to 80 MB to save!!
another problem from my point of view is the exchange of whole sequences. the whole thing heavily depends on the use of markers, because without them someone working with soundtrack doesn't even see were the cuts are, which makes it nearly impossible to synchronise sounds. markers have to be placed at every single cut.
i could go in like this, but first i would like to know if i mist some fundamental thing about the use of these two pieces of software.

It depends on how you are working. If you've sent over something as a Multitrack project then you have to export the mix and edit it back in as it doesn't update in the same way. A STP audio file shoul update upon saving.
