I'm new to working with soundtrack and final cut simultaneously?

I have to edit a documentary in the coming week for a project. I want to use soundtrack pro alongside final cut pro. Could someone put simply the process of the two working together? for audio connected to video clips in final cut, is the only way to automate these with final cut?
using the "send to soundtrack" in final cut, only exports the video so it leaves me only being able to enhance the project by adding new sounds. is it possible to edit the sound files in final cut by using soundtrack pro?
without exporting every sound individually and re-importing...thank you. im new to this so that might be a stupid question. i apologise if so

1. Finish your project in Final Cut with rough sound. Lock your picture.
2. Select your sequence, and "Send to" Soundtrack Pro as a multitrack project.
3. Finish your audio.
4. Export whichever splits you want from Soundtrack as AIFFs. You can export the whole mixed soundtrack, or vox and mix minus, or whatever you prefer.
5. Duplicate your finished sequence in Final Cut. Delete all audio. Import your finished mix(es) into Final Cut, and overwrite-edit them into the timeline.
6. Export your finished movie.
Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro really aren't meant to be used together, per se. Rather, the workflow goes from Final Cut as a multitrack project and then back to Final Cut as AIFFs.

  • Very disappointed with G5 and Final Cut Pro

    At work we bought a G5 last year for Final Cut Pro to edit plain DV video downloaded from a MiniDV camcorder via Firewire. The machine has 4gig memory, 6800 graphics, and is running FCP 5.0 with all of the Software Updates installed. The G5 is supposed to replace a much older PC that is running Adobe Premiere 2.0 on Windows XP. Even though the PC only has a single Pentium 4 CPU and older ATI X800 graphics, it does FAR more real-time effects than Final Cut Pro does on the G5. Why is this?? Almost everything I do, from titles to minor effects will appear instantly on Premiere Pro, real-time, no rendering needed. But almost everything I do on the G5 will show me a big red X until it has rendered. If I add a title, I still have to wait for it to render. If I add a light blur effect, I still have to wait for it to render. This is very annyoing and very depressing, we spent a lot of money on the G5. In reality, at least for us, it is slower than the older PC it is supposed to replace forcing us to spend a lot of time staring at those big red X'es while Final Cut Pro renders.
    Are we doing something wrong? Or is this the case with all dual processor G5s running Final Cut Pro 5.0?? Is there anything we can do to speed up rendering or enable actual real-time effects/titles?

    Welcome to the family.

    Simple failure to understand your new tools. Open the manual, run the tutorials. Study carefully the sections on how to set up all of your preferences for DV. It's easy and when you're done you're going to feel really silly.
    If your company intends to make money with FCP you must invest time to understand what you bought since you bought it without bothering to test drive FCP on a G5. If you liked Premiere on Windows, you may never enjoy using FCP on Macintosh. The switch can be devastating. You could be one of those poor souls who just doesn't get it. Turn your system over to a more open minded person on your staff.

  • How can I create transparent animated  text with Motion and Final Cut Pro?

    Hi all,
    I am trying to replicate an effect that a previous video editor did in a project, but I can't contact them.
    They made animated text in Live Type, and saved it as a QT movie. When this text is placed over existing video in the FCP project, the text is "transparent", basically it acts like text created in FCP (You can see the background image behind the text, like through the middle of the letter "o").
    I have made some animated text in Motion, but when I save it as a QT movie, and bring it into FCP, the whole 1280x720 screen is covered by this movie, and I have to crop it so it does not cover the background image. It is all black except for the text. And of course the text is not on a transparent layer. Any ideas how I can create this effect with animated text? I've tried messing with transparency and overlay settings, nothing seems to work.
    Running latest version of Final Cut Studio...
    Thanks
    Dave

    Just bring the Motion (.motn) project into FCP and lay it over your clip.
    The QT you're exporting has to carry the alpha channel (animation codec, million+ colors), but don't waste your time/disk space with that. Just bring the motion project into FCP.

  • Bought computers with motion and final cut on it. Is there any way to to upgrade without the password?

    Bought computer with software on the computer don't have password. Is there anyway to upgrade?

    Probably one of those craigslist ads.
    Guys take a computer, pack it full with stolen software, and then charge more than the computer is worth.
    But: no upgrades, no support. And you'll never know if there's not some malware, spyware somewhere.
    I wouldn't want to work with such software.
    It's really the best to wipe the drive, and only use your own software. Charge it under "experience".
    And it's only $50...

  • Is the JVC SR-DVM700 compatible with Macs and Final Cut Studio HD?

    Hello all.
    The company I work for is seriously thinking about purchasing the JVC SR-DVM700 next week (based on my recommendations). What I have discovered however is that there are very little user reviews and even less info on whether it is compatible with Final Cut Studio HD. Everything I have found 'seems' to indicate that it will work but I need a definite answer. The lack of user info makes me a little nervous.
    Here are my questions:
    If this system is incompatible, what would be a good alternative within the same price range?
    What (if any), are the problems that crop up while using it and are they easily fixed?
    What are your general thoughts on the system?
    I really like the idea of a MiniDV, DVD and hard drive all in one machine but I need more info in case I need to put the brakes on this purchase.
    Thanks for all your help.
    Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   1.5 GB DDR SDRAM (working on getting more)

    This is a FCP HD, but no Final Cut Studio HD
    My guess is that you are trying to run FCP 4.5 HD on an Intel Mac.
    It isn't reliable even if you could install it.
    You need FCS2 -- at the upgrade price.

  • Being new to working with Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to set my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to the Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll? My husband had gotten this printer and the sales person said that it can be set up wirelessly to my Mac Book Pro

    Being new to working with a Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me step, by step on how to set up my Mac Book Pro(Mid 2012) wirelessly to a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll that my husband had gotten me? Sales person told him that it's compatiable to my Mac Book Pro, Mtn Lion, but I do not see it and I don't see how to do it wirelessly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ;o)

    Hello:
    There is nothing wrong with asking questions.  There  are no dumb questions....answers, yes, but not questions. 
    If you set up your wi-fi router to establish a network, then both your printer and MacBook Pro will connect wirelessly.  *** I do not know what kind of router you possess, I don't want to suggest things that might not be relevant.
    Barry
    P.S. No need to apologize!  Most of the people here (none of us are Apple employees) enjoy trying to help others. 

  • HT204409 I am unable to connect to my Wi-Fi at home, but am able to connect at work.  Using my new iPad 4G with cellular and a Motorola SBG6580.  My iPad 3G Wi-Fi only connects just fine; the 4G just "spins the gear."

    I am unable to connect to my Wi-Fi at home, but am able to connect at work.  Using my new iPad 4G with cellular and a Motorola SBG6580.  My iPad 3G Wi-Fi only connects just fine; the 4G just "spins the gear."

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.  Will Time Capsule work with this and how?

    I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.
    1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
    2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?
    3. Can I create a network and how?
    4.  What happend when a visitor logs onto my existing wireless router?
    I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical.  Any help / advice will be much appreciated.
    Ray

    The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router.  I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
    You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

  • It came to my attention there a new program working with itune since last update named Apsdaemon.exe its been using 99% of my processor when its active any idea why so much and will it be fix eventually? And why is it so Heavy consuming ?

    It came to my attention there a new program working with itune since last update named Apsdaemon.exe its been using 99% of my processus when its active.
    Any idea why so much and will it be fix eventually because before last update i never encounter any issue using Itune? Now when that aplication or extention from Itune is working my computor froze to a huge alt. I play video games online and love listening to my music with itune playing in the background and normally was able to have firefox open and a program called ventrillo all working at the same time and now i can barelly have itune and play a game. As soon it start been choppy i just control alt delete wait 5 minute to close down apsdaemon.exe when i'm capable most of the time i have to restart my computor. And why is it so Heavy consuming on the process its memory utility is under the 100ko i believe so why 99% of my processus is been use ?
    a good exemple i could give is itune.exe working it shows process 02% for 123 000ko that is light and perfect.

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

  • New Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro Updates...

    There's new updates for Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro on Software Update.
    They seem to have fixed the problem I was having with one of my giant old projects. I used to have to open one of the audio projects before my multitrack project would open, but now it opens just fine. So far so good!

    Hi Collings,
    Looks like there are two threads about the recent FCP & STP updates, so I'm posting my findings here, too.
    I just found another thing that appears to be fixed in STP 1.0.2:
    Batch normalize is working:
    I have a bunch of aif files that I want to normalize. I opened one in the waveform editor, applied process->normalize (level=0dB), then selected File->Save as Applescript--this creates an Applescript droplet. Then I can then grab a whole bunch of audio files and drop them all onto this droplet and they all get normalized correctly. This is a huge timesaver for me. Before this update, using this approach to batch-normalize a set of files seemed to deliver unpredictable results, but I just ran a whole set of files through, and they all played back with a peak level of 0dB (and no clipping).
    Here are the other things that I've noticed so far with STP 1.0.2:
    Automation:
    -In STP 1.0.1, Automation was not applied correctly on project sample rates that were not supported by the hardware (e.g. play a 96K project on a laptop built-in 48K audio interface and the automation was late by 2X) -- this is fixed!!! YAY!
    -STP 1.0.1 did not handle long automation ramps across long periods of silence (it would sometimes cause a glitch at the start of the clip right after the automation ramp--there is even a support article about this)--it seems like they fixed this one, too.
    Sample rate switching:
    -I see an option in general preferences to allow me to disable the "Switch hardware sample rate to match document", and with this disabled, I no longer get audible clicks from my audio interface when I switch tabs. Plus, switching tabs seems faster to me.
    Realtime effects and automation in audio file projects:
    -They've added a warning to inform folks about the need to bounce realtime effects and automation to an action--if you are in an audio file project with realtime effects that have not been bounced to an action and you try to save, you get a warning message.
    Has anyone else noticed any other fixes or changes in this update?

  • Does the new iPad work with adobe flash?

    Does the new Ipad work with a version of adobe flash?  I have read several articles, and I'm just more confused than when I started!  I'm a newer Mac user, and I'm interested in the new iPad, but I don't know if I want it if it doesn't support internet pages that use adobe flash.  Thanks for your help!!

    Adobe eliminated its "mobile Flash" department.  Android, Mobile Windows, IOS, WebOS ... everyone is out of luck.

    I am new to working with pdf.  I am trying to fill out a form that was attached to a website.  I have a Macbook Pro and I am trying to learn Acrobat.  How do I get the form to accept my input?

    If there are Acrobat PDF form fields, not jus a space for a form field, then you will have to add them. It would be better to ask the provider of the form to add the fields. If you cannot add the fields, then you can use the add text feature.
    Have you looked in the "Tools" panel for the "Forms" category?
