IMovie ansd Soundtrack Pro

I'm just starting to play with iMovie and I have Logic Studio which comes with Soundtrack Pro.
Is there any way to export an iMovie into Soundtrack Pro for audio editing?
Thank

Try exporting a Quicktime movie from iMovie, then drag the quicktime movie onto the video track (or drop it into the video window) in Soundtrack Pro.

How to bring my valid iMovie into Soundtrack Pro as a multitrack?

Hello kind people. My most hummed song right now is "I can't get started with you." To my shame, I am unable to bring my valid iMovie into Soundtrack Pro as a multitrack. I have brought the audio alone, but that leaves me grabbing at air. There must be a simple way. Who will tell me how?

Soundtrack Pro/iMovie HD

Can you Import and Export With iMovie like you can with Final Cut

Hi,
If you mean roundtrip back and forth between iMovie and Soundtrack Pro - No.
If you're asking about simple importing and exporting within iMovie (you're in the wrong forum), the answer is yes.

Popping/Crackling in Soundtrack Pro

I recently bought a new Mac Pro (Dual quad 3.0 with 4 GB Memory, tyvm...) and installed STP 1.0.3; I downloaded and installed all available updates.
Problem: when I am using the program, working on a project, both the samples i am
previewing as well as the exported project (exported as a .aif file) have a crackle or popping which is quite severe- I am not clipping, ie, the output levels are OK; I checked all the audio connections (although since it happens while I'm
working on a project and just previewing clips in the browser, I realize audio connectios aren't at fault here.
I am using internal 750 gb hardrives, and have the application on hardrive 1, with my data, samples, etc, on hardrive2.
Any ideas?
Thank You-

I found this in the archives: sounds VERY similar- Could this be the problem??
If so, couldn't one just cover the openings????
See following:
I just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard having waited for ProTools LE to be compatible with the new OS. Now that I upgraded to OS 10.5.4 and ProTools LE 7.4.2, every time I play anything through Soundtrack Pro (v2.0.2) I get clicking or popping or stuttering, whatever you want to call it, during playback. I didn't change any settings, but I'm no sound engineer, so I'm not sure what to check to see what is causing it. I can take the same file and play it through ProTools, Quicktime, iMovie, anything, and it will play fine, just not in Soundtrack Pro. I'm up to date on all software upgrades.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
My particular G5 model has a known bug. Spent over an hour online with an Apple Tech who went through several possibilities until he found the answer. The problem is the optical ports on the backside of the computer. IF they are not being used, there might be an issue with stray or ambient light wreaking havoc with the sample rate of Soundtrack Pro. I'm not making this up. The solution was to go buy a Toslink optical cable and plug it into both ports creating a loop. The sample rate clock was jumping back and forth from 44.1 kHz to 48 kHz and causing the popping when playing anything in Soundtrack Pro. Problem has been solved. It didn't appear until I upgraded to Leopard, have no idea why, but I feel better now that it wasn't something I did that I couldn't figure out.
Thanks to Apple Tech Support.

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.
http://homepage.mac.com/ote_productions/Malcom.html
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.

Alert! soundtrack pro is running out of resources

hello friends,
I keep getting this message after doing a few edits in STP:
Alert! Soundtrack Pro is running out of resources. it is recommended that you save your work and relaunch the application.
I thought this may be due to too many programs running at once, so I shut everything down, did a restart and still get this message. I did just run system updates and there were a few program updates -- Safari and a couple others, I think.
Here are my system specs:
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 32 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
thanks for an help you can offer.

How do i use the stretching tool in soundtrack pro

i have a split track song with muitiple track.got them all loaded in soundtrack pro,when i play the track there are i lot of skips please help big project for fathers day

O.K. so do you need to slow down the music, or speed it up? That's what the stretching tool is for, like in a video scene where the music slows to the tempo the actors are speaking. To use it; you must have an audio file: export multiple tracks by selecting them and choosing Export from the file menu. If you're trying to interlace audio then you should export each track individually and paste them together in an audio file. Next select the audio you want to change then drag the parameters of the selected music: either forwards to delay, or backwards to speed up, just like changing the crop of a photo. Be aware that you can drastically change the audio, trial and error works best, just use Edit>undo till you get it. Also try removing some clicks and pops in analysis.

Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?

Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?
I understand they are royalty free, I am just confused about using the actual loops for films, videos, etc - if there is a special license you must purchase or what?
Yes sure, it's a library and may be used a lot - but is it legal or against agreement?
And to clarify - what about music I create on the program , that is ok right?

If you purchased the software you have the right to use the loops that came with the software in the software to make whatever you want.

Have Added Soundtrack Pro Loops. Now Need To Delete Greyed Out Duplicates?

As you know, only half the loops come on the DVD and the rest have to be downloaded.
The downloadable loops appear greyed out in the Loops Browser until you download them.
I have added my Soundtrack Pro loops to the Loops Browser so now every downloadable loop is duplicated.
One is playable (the STP one) whilst the other is greyed out.
Is there any way of deleting the greyed out names?

Installing logic studio 9, soundtrack pro and loops utility greyed out

Hi,
I'm trying to reinstal logic studio 9 and on the screen where you select and deselect the instal options soundtrack pro (and therefore compressor) are labelled as skip and greyed out not allowing select. The same is true for the apple loops utility. I'm pretty sure i removed all the files of previous instal. Anyone help?

Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2 Doesn't Open

STP won't launch at all. I installed everything from FCS2 once, then noticed STP doesn't open (all the other programs work). So, I trashed STP and the preferences and the logs and just reinstalled that from the DVD, then did the software update to STP 2.0.2. I didn't open STP from the time I uninstalled it until it finished updating.
All I still see is the white launch screen that says "Soundtrack Pro" (it doesn't even get to the GUI). The icon bounces in the dock for a while, then it'll just sit there, without the program running indicator. It says that it's not responding, and when I force quit it, it says it "quit while unresponsive."
Any suggestions?

I got an error message now:
An Unexpected Problem
NSInvalidArgumentException
* +[DebugController sharedInstance]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0x7d8700.
It's only happened once; the next time I opened STP didn't show the message, it just hung again.

Soundtrack Pro Won't Refresh And Keeps Crashing!

Hi,
Got a lot of issues with Soundtrack Pro, so much so that I've been using the basic Soundtrack version rather than the upgrade.
I'm using a G4 with FCP HD and the biggest problem I have with Soundtrack Pro is that it just keeps crashing!! I've also found that trying to use the Graphic Equalizer function crashes everything, from Sountrack Pro, Soundtrack, right through to Final Cut. Every other audio filter works fine in Final Cut, except for the EQ filter. But lots of functions inside Soundtrack Pro, crash it.
I can only use it for short clips and short periods of times . But the worst thing is, if I save a clip either from Final Cut or from Soundtrack Pro itself, the moment I try and open that new clip, it doesn't appear in the browser. I have to close the software down, open it and THEN it appears in the browser. I can't find anyway of refreshing the file list.
Strangely this 'saved files not appearing' problem also happens in DVDSP, as well as Soundtrack Pro, but it never happens in Final Cut HD. Any solutions?

"is there anything unusual about the location where you save these files? (on a network volume, or something)"
I don't think so, although my boot drive was formatted separately from my video drive, they are both internal. But it doesn't matter if I save the file on the video drive or the boot drive, STP won't see them until I shut the program down and reopen it again.

Soundtrack Pro 2 keeps crashing...please somebody help :(

So here's my problem.
I am running Soundtrack Pro 2 on my Mac Pro along with my Digi003. Both Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio 8 are installed on my computer. Every application works fine except for STP2 that keeps crashing all the time.
I tried to uninstall it, reinstall it, reinstall Compressor, downloaded updates, Core Audio updates as well for the 003, downloaded the last Pro Applications Support but nothing seems to cut it.
The issue is as follow. I launch STP, the application scans (for the hundredth time) my plugins and detects something like 287 plugins. HOWEVER, the application crashes when the counter goes to 290.
My personal feeling is that the problem might come from either a conflict between Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio 8 that installed both STP2 or, most likely, three plugins (the difference between 290 and 287) that STP2 has a problem with.
These last plugins scanned seem to be Amplitube X-Gear, a demo I deleted, Melodyne, that I downloaded lately and I guess something else. Also, I precise that I have not been able to rn STP for almost a year and as I am about to work on the post of a new film, I would love to use it.
The last thing I did was running the Terminal app that gave me a detailed report of the problem. I don't understand where it comes from though. So here's the report. If somebody can help, I greatly appreciate it!

Probably an imcompatible plug-in.
Try renaming the plug-in folder momentarily, see if it boots okay.
If it does then you'll have to isolate which plug-in is causing the problem.

How do I get a mixer to show up in Soundtrack Pro?

The problem is not using a mixer but I can't get one to show. I see my sound track, (can play) and did analysis and cleaned up but clicking all mixer buttons and choosing a different layout all 3 choices never give me a mixer.
The lower pane with the mixer highlighted is blank. I also set up a new project choosing multitrack with mixers or Seperate Mixer and video which show the mixers but as soon as I put my aif file into Soundtrack the mixer disappears from the window only the wave forms are there. I have posted this several times.There must be somebody who has a clue what is going on here? (Apple?)Thank you.
W.W.

Since nobody could answer my cry for help (no you don't find it in the manual) I am entitled to the 10 points finding the solution. Here is how to get around not being able to get a mixer for your aif file you want to edit. When you double click Soundtrack Pro an empty window opens with an empty track 1 and track 2.
As a seasoned Apple user you think drag and drop the .aif audio file into those tracks you want to edit and use in your movie. Well you are in for a three day search for answers how to get that mixer to open that you want to use! If somebody (or the manual) would just say you can't do that you could have saved that time to do what you need to do!
In order to get the mixer(s) you need you must:
1. click on "New Project" on the top left: window opens with both video and audio mixer tracks in which you can drop you audio. You can than open Layouts and choose from 3 layout choices of mixers. Happy panning and mixing.

While creating a project in Garage Band my sample tracks were cut short then overwritten in soundtrack pro. Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?

While creating a project in Garage Band 09 my sample tracks were being cut short- I then discovered they had been overwritten in soundtrack pro.
Any ideas why? and how to get my tracks back?
I never opened soundtrack pro to edit the track just Garage band....the track just mysteriously saved as half the track.
I am running Lion and I upgraded my Garage band to '11 hoping it would resolve the issue...it didn't. Now I can't find that tracks at all.
The 2 songs having the issue are titled Exotic Yearning and Reunion.
I am in the process of reinstalling the audio content from my discs. I just don't want to run into this again.
Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

After spending some time reinstalling the soundtrack pro 3 content I opened the full track called Reunion.
It showed back up in Garage Band.*It was the full track and wasn't chopped off until I dragged it onto the project. Then it showed up chopped.
Then I closed Garaged band and opened soundtrack pro 3....The song was again chopped off at the 1:33min mark
Very Frusterated...:(
