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.

Can I mute all audio from Final Cut Pro X?

Can I mute all audio from Final Cut Pro X so that I can listen to music while I do sorting, keywording, favoriting, etc? I'm doing a video where all the camera audio won't be used anyways, so I don't need to hear it in FCPX.. I'd rather just listen to my music instead. Thanks.

For clips in the timeline, andynick's suggestion works fine - temporarily disable the audio roles will play everything without audio and you just have to reenable these roles later.
For clips in the Event Browser, you can also disable and reenable audio for a bunch of clips all at once. Select the all the clips you want, open the inspector, click the audio tab and uncheck the box (for "stereo" or "mono" or whatnot) under "Channel Configuration". Again, to reenable just check this box again.

What file type to export vid from final cut to studio pro

Beginner here, the question I have is what is the best file format to export from final cut to studio pro so that I will play in a decent to good quality on a DVD that I make in studio pro. Thanks.

For my FCS projects, I export DV_NTSC "anamorphic" (I use 16:9 format) to a "reference" movie: that is quite fast after all rendering is completed and the resulting file is pretty small. The only disadvantage to "reference" I've found is that you must keep all those FCS file around since those are what is referenced by the export.
I export like that instead of exporting to compressor because for me, exporting directly to compressor is very slow; on my G5 Quad, my compression step is about 1:1 with real time.
You can take those .mov files into DVDSP and let it do the compression using your defaults. I prefer to use Compressor directly so I can set the compression, Dolby, etc. parameters. Compress to mpeg2 and AC3 (Dolby Digital) and if you are just in stereo, just keep it in stereo, check the "no surround encoding" and make sure the highest audio level in either channel is -3db (or the compressor setting let you reduce the level by 3db). That prevents a downmix to mono (like on a cheap TV) from clipping (-3db + -3db = 0db. (zero plus zero = +3db and is clipping).

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 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
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2861
As a workaround, can you just save an aiff in soundtrack pro and bring that in to fcp?

Transferring From Final Cut Express to Pro

Hey! I am looking to upgrade from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro. I have a present project in Express and plan to finish it shortly. However, can I take this file from Express and finish editing it in Final Cut Pro?
Thank you!

It has been reported that FCE projects will open in FCP. It does not work in the reverse direction, once the project is in FCP, FCE will not open it.

Upgrade from Final Cut Express to Pro 5.0

I think I made a stupid mistake. I purchased Final Cut Pro 5.0 upgrade thinking I could upgrade from Final Cut Express. But when I am asked to enter the previous versions serial number, it does not accept it. Is there any way to do this or am I going to have to buy the full version of Final Cut Pro?
Also, I have a G4 Powerbook with the following specs. Is it going to run the program if I do finally get it installed?
CPU Speed: 867 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 640 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX

To upgrade from FCE you need the Final Cut Pro 5 Upgrade from Final Cut Express. I just upgraded FCE and that worked fine for me.
Hope this helps answer your question...

Cant Export from Final Cut to Soundtrack

I try to export any scene from this film to soundtrack pro as a multi track file but keep getting a error messages saying "Error Sending Selection to Soundtrack Pro" however i can export to a audio file for soundtrack pro

Let's see if we can break this down.
First do you have FCS 1 or 2?
Second are "sending" to STP or exporting?
If you go to the Browser in FCP and right click the sequence and choose Sent To>Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project, You will get a dialog box to name and safe the Project file. The checkboxes at the bottom of the dialog should (by default) be all checked and "Base layer" chosen. When you click save STP should open.

Audio from Final Cut Pro very very low

Hi guys I have not have a problem for awhile. A friend of mine recently move from DPS Velocity system to Final Cut Pro Studio 2 using a Intel Pro 3.2GHZ with all the bell and whistle, so I am giving him some training and tutorial. They have some footage in Velocity which I use MPEG StreamClip to convert to a DV file, I brought it in FCP (Three File one video and two audio makes one clip) it play in FCP Played ok when I export it to DVD studio Pro the audio is extremely low (barely audio able)I open the clip in QuickTime and it did not play. There is other clip in the project, some capture in FCP and others imports in FCP Studio, DVD Studio Pro and QuickTime plays these audio ok. The audio from Velocity are Wave files, I taught anyfile that plays in FCP would play in QuickTime. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem please to help I would like my friend to change both system to Apple and FCP thanks.

Wellcome to the forums!
when I export it to DVD studio Pro the audio is extremely low (barely audio able)I open the clip in QuickTime and it did not play.
I guess you encoded it to Dolby AC3 with Compressor, did you? Then you must chamge the standard Dolby preset as follows to keep the original FCP mix and level:
- Dialog normalization: -31
- Compression preset: none
And QT cannot play AC3 files.
Hope that helps !

Rip Audio From Final Cut Express

Is it possible to rip audio from an MPEG Video in Final Cut Express and save a copy of JUST the audio file as .mp3? I know you can do this with QT Pro, but I'm going to be getting Final Cut Express down the road and I need to be able to do this. So I will just get FCE now if it can perform this function and not waste money on QT Pro.
Thanks!

Well, there's all kinds of flavors of 'MPEG Video' out there, knowing what you're using would help.
QuickTime Pro can do this, and it's not a waste of $20 to get it.
You can also use MPEG Streamclip to extract the audio to AIFF, then use iTunes to convert to MP3 if that's what you really want.

Major Problem with audio from Final Cut to DVd Studio Pro

I am posting this problem again because no further responses have been received regarding my first post. I purchased an MR-HD100 Firestore device from Focus Enhancements. When I use clips from it alone or with other clips created by digitizing from min DV tape on a sequence or timeline the audio works fine in Final Cut. When I import any type of file and believe me I have been trying all kinds of suggestions and wasting almost a dozen DVDs. Whether it be a Final Cut QT file, going straight to compressor and producing an MPEG-2 file and a dolby audio file .ac3 importing them into DVD SP and making the adjustments that MR. Harbsmeier suggested DIAL NORM at -31dbfs and COMPRESSION MODE to NONE, as well as the suggestion to make an aif file with the audio and importing it into DVD SP as well as the video. I get the same result with every try, the clips made with the firestore are so low you cannot hear them. NOTHING WORKS!!!!. And yes I have tried making a DVD with just digitized footage and yes it turned out fine. I called Apple support today and that gentlemen basically told me I am out of warranty so phone help was not available. However, he made a suggestion of changing sequence presets in Final Cut which has now developed into another problem. I have messed up my settings so bad I don't know where I am I can't LOG & CAPTURE in the manner I used to ???? Could someone please advise as to why this problem exists and the correction to resolve it. I do not understand why the audio works fine playing the sequence on the timeline in Final Cut. It plays fine after making a Final Cut QT file. AND it plays fine in simulation mode in DVD Studio Pro. However after you burn a DVD the audio from the firestore clips are not to be heard unless you crank up the speakers or TV to it's maximum level and you can barely make it out. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME Projects are stacking up and was really hoping to go tapeless

Try building the project to your desktop and then open the Video_TS in the Mac DVD player application.
How does it play/sound? This application is the best way to see and hear how your burned DVD should play vs. just using simulator and burning.
Just to clarify- are you taking your FC QT file into Compressor and creating a MPG-2 and AC3 file or are you bringing your FC QT directly into DSP?
What codec are you exporting from FC? ProRes422, DV, H264?
Open the FC QT in QT and apple+I to see this.
What does it say for audio?

Sending Multiple Clips from Final Cut to Soundtrack??

Hi,
I'm working on a 15 minute project that takes a good 5 minutes to open everytime I export it as a multitrack project to soundtrack pro. Soundtrack then behaves really sluggishly. In the STP manual it says that I can send a selection of clips to from FCP to STP as a multitrack project but everytime I attempt to do this I get the following error "Error sending selection to soundtrack pro". I'm hoping to send small chunks of the show to Soundtrack so that it will run at a usable speed. I'm interpreting the manual as saying that I can send the clips with their video (i.e. a 30 second scene from the larger video) to Soundtrack. Am I wrong? Maybe this is a problem with FCP? I've even tried sending a single clip as a multitrack project and that gave me the same error.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PS - I already have gone through the forum and found suggestions that linked mono and stereo files might cause something like this but all my files are stereo

Thanks for your reply.
I thought of that too. But when I pasted my clips into the new sequence the aspect ratio changed and I wasn't quite sure how to get it to return to the way it looks in the original sequence so I gave up.
Your success has emboldened me so I'll try again.
Another question: once you returned to FCP did you export a mix from STP and replace your original audio tracks? I was hoping that once this was done that I could cut some more and return to the original multitrack project in STP and see it updated with the new cuts. This doesn't seem to be the case (?) I'm hoping that I'm doing something wrong.

Send to Apple TV From Final Cut Server

This was pretty simple, but clients really seem to appreciate having the functionality. Basically all you have to do is follow these steps to create a checkbox that can send any asset to your Apple TV for client viewing.
1. Create the field "Send to Apple TV".
2. Add that field to your Asset Search MD group and the MD goup that you wish people to access it in.
3. Create a Final Cut Server Playlist in iTunes
4. Open Automator in OSX. Create a Folder Action using the "Add Songs to Playlist" action from iTunes.
- Choose your Final Cut Server Playlist
5. Assign the folder action to a folder of your choice.
6. Create a Device "Apple TV" in Final Cut Server that points to that folder.
7. Create a transcode setting for "Apple TV H.264" and import to Final Cut Server
- Assign this transcode setting to your Apple TV Device
8. Create a "Send to Apple TV" Copy Response
- The destination device is "Apple TV"
- Transcode Setting is "Apple TV H.264"
9. Open Itunes on the Final Cut Server
- Setup your Apple TV
- Have the Apple TV automatically get the latest files from your Final Cut Server Playlist and send them to your Apple TV.
Done!

Good job Jason. About time to you contributing back to the community that's been so good to you.
Now how do you get the Apple TV box to automatically query FCSvr directly?
