Sending Audio Files back to Final Cut pro, nothing.

Simple issue:
I send from Final Cut Pro To Sound track pro some audio files along with the clip.
I edit it in Sound track Pro, and save (just like in the tutorial) then I quit.
I go back to Final Cut Pro and what do you know, the file that I sent HAS NOT BEEN EDITED!
Some one help.

I tried the same thing earlier in the year, and when the sound came back into FCP, it was corrupted!
Since then, I don't know if this is a good option, but it seems to work fine:
Once I have finished my editing in FCP, I export the soundtrack into an AIFF. I edit the AIFF via STP, and when finished, import it back into FCP.
I'm not experienced enough to know if this method is bad, but it has worked well for me!

  • Sending multitrack project back to Final Cut pro, how?

    Hi all,
    I ve sent an entire sequence from FCP to Soundtrack pro for adding sound effects and that worked great. All video and existing music and voice over were sent to soundrack pro and i ve added my SFX on 4 seperate audio tracks.
    Now i want to send the SFX tracks i ve created back into FCP since the project hasnt finished. How do i do this? ideally i want each SFX clip i ve added in SP to be placed on FCP timeline.
    One way will be to export each track with SFX individually from soundtrack pro and manually import these into FCp but there are large gaps of silence between SFX clips and i these ll be counted as audio resulting in unecessary large audio files.
    Any ideas?
    many thanks

    You could do it that way. You could also do an "export mix" from STP. This will result in an two track stereo aiff file that you can then bring into FCP to replace all the existing audio. I always use a duplicated timeline for this.

  • Hey! I can't export SoundTrack 1.2 file back to Final Cut Pro 4.5

    Hi -
    I just successfully cleaned up some cruddy live audio that I had on one clip that I'm editing on using FCP 4.5 - by using Sound Tack 1.2. Now that I have the audio the way I want it, I find that I am unable to select File>Export Mix or even Export Tracks.
    The file that I saved is a Sound Track document. I can find no other way to save it as anything other than that. I tried sneaking it in by importing it in FCP, and even tried dragging and dropping the thing into a bin, but no go.
    I notice while in SoundTrack that I cannot highlight the audio track that I cleaned up - but I was guessing that this was due to it 'belonging' to the entire FCP file. If this is so, does it make a difference about saving and exporting it? I could not copy the track and paste it onto a new track. It seems that the only thing I can do is simply save it. But it's no good to me as a pretty Soundtrack file.
    Any help on this is appreciated with muchos tacos.
    Thanks.

    this is why folks are urged over and over again to make a backup/clone of their system before any major system or critical application upgrade
    what you can do is an archive and install from your old OS X (Panther) disks, run all the software updates, then reinstall FCP and again run all the software updates
    or pop out and buy a new hard disc ... reinstall Panther and FCP 4.5 on that and then just reboot from that disc when you need to run FCP, that way you get to enjoy Leopard the rest of the time
    ... or run out and buy your Christmas present early and do the upgrade to FCS2 (its a bargain)
    once bitten twice shy ... in future always clone your system before a major upgrade

  • Sending shake video BACK to final cut pro?

    hey guys
    im still sort of new to shake
    i took a clip in fcp highlighted it, and chose "send to shake"
    it then opened up shake and i did some compositing. i also saw that it automatically made an extra video layer in fcp with the shake seq
    after editing, i scrubbed through the fcp time line and saw the clip wasnt updated...so i guess i need to do something with the file out in shake?
    do i need to render it or something or is there a way to just have it update
    it would be awesome cause its already lined up fine in the timeline and everything!
    thankyou

    Unlike Motion, it doesn't embed the Shake project - it embeds the placeholder QuickTime movie, so you must render the FileOut whenever you make changes.
    Also, the new video track is disabled by default so you will need to click the button to the left of the track to enable it.

  • Error sending multi-track project back to Final Cut Pro, can't open XML

    I am an experienced Final Cut Pro user but just tried using Soundtrack Pro for the first time on a real project. I sent the audio from my Final Cut sequence to a Soundtrack Pro multi-track project, added a few effects and created some fade-ins and fade-outs, and then tried to Export back to Final Cut.
    I selected "File > Export", named my file and selected "After Export > Send files to Final Cut Pro sequence."
    Now in Final Cut an error appears that says "The document “Name.xml” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “Final Cut Pro XML File” format."
    Am I crazy or is something wrong happening here? I can get the exported audio files to appear in my sequence if I select "File > Import > XML" in Final Cut, but after this whole process Final Cut seems to be functioning unreliably (after closing Final Cut and re-opening, I even once got a similar error that said "Final Cut cannot open files in the Final Cut Pro Project File format", which is obviously crazy).
    Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure your easy setup has the correct frame rate for your sequence.  Seems crazy but somehow or other fcp assigns a frame rate to audio files.   I've found this can sometimes be tricky to get right.  Here's what I've done to force the issue.  Make sure the easy setup frame rate reflects that of the target sequence in fcp.  Create a new project.  import the audio in the new project.  And then copy the clip from the new project to your main project. 
    Good luck

  • What is the proper way to back up Final Cut Pro x

    What is the proper way to back up Final Cut Pro x?
    Final Cut Pro X & Motion 5 are the only two programs I do not have a hard copy for.
    Click and dragging the files from the applications folder to an external harddrive seems to simple to be correct.
    Are their additional folders or actions that are required to back up these software?
    I'm having problems and was instructed to back up all files ASAP before taking my iMac (mid 2010) to the Apple store for treatment.
    Please help!

    Most apps from the Mac App Store are simple drag & drop installation. DId FCPX or M5 just download to your Mac or was there an installer app involved? If they just donwloaded, then dragging them to backup media should be enough. If there was an installer, then you should backup the installer. But these apps aren't going to disappear from the Mac App Store in the short time that your Mac is in a repair shop. You can also download them again fromthe Purchased pane after you have signed into your account.

  • DVD back to Final Cut Pro

    So basically we have made a DVD movie and would like to convert it back into Final Cut Pro for later editing at times. Is this possible and if so how is it done? Would you use a program like Popcorn, DVD Shrink etc. to rip the DVD and then import some type of file back into FCP? Thanks in advance.

  • How Direct Import .AVI file in to Final Cut Pro 6

    How can i Direct import .AVI Files in to Final Cut Pro 6..
    Please Tell me Any kind of plugin or application or codec.....
    thankyou very much

    The AVI file extension merely indicates that the video contained inside could be from any number of codecs; like a QuickTime .mov, .avi is just a wrapper. Saying you have an AVI file is much like saying you have a car ... it doesn't really tell us anything specific. You need to find out what codec it actually is, then you'll know whether or not it can be imported into FCP without conversion.
    But you'd be better off converting it to a QuickTime codec that FCP works with natively prior to importing.

  • No audio track anymore in final cut pro timeline

    Hi everyone,
    God I feel dumb but somehow i shut off audio tracks in my final cut pro.  I can see the previous ones down that I laid.  But if I try to bring anymore clips into the viewer and then slide them down to the time line there is no audio that comes with it anymore.  What button do I click to allow audio to pull down with the video on to the timeline.  Weird.

    Make sure you have the audio tracks targeted by using the patch panel at the left of the Timeline.  Also make sure that the tracks aren't locked.

  • Audio out of Sync - Final Cut Pro to Soundtrack and back

    I have edited some talking head interviews in FCP 7.0.3
    When I "Send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project" and then send back to Final Cut (by exporting an AIFF)
    The audio is 9 frames shorter than the original audio. (The video is 06:29:12 long)
    I have checked, and double, triple checked, and all audio is 48.0 KHz
    Both timelines are Non-Drop Frame.
    I have also tried the following when importing the XML back in to FCP
    1. Leave Sequence Settings at "auto" with "Override with settings from XML" selected
    2. Change Sequence Settings to "Apple ProRes 422 1920x1080 24fps" with "Override with settings from XML" de-selected.
    I have looked and looked through forums and haven't found any real solutions, please help

    Apparently, fcp can have a problem with imported audio files if the easy setup frame rate does not match your sequence frame rate.
    I've seen this reported as well.
    I actually created a new project, set up the "Easy Set Up" to match and ran into the same problem.
    Initially the Music Tracks I used were a different audio rate (44.1 vs 48) but I converted those as well.
    I'll have to chalk this up to user error, but I've truly been over this project with a fine-tooth comb so many times.
    In general, it doesn't seem like there should be so much issue going from Final Cut to Soundtrack and back.
    When I get some down time, I'm going to completely recreate this project from
    scratch and see what happens.
    Thank you so much for your time Michael.

  • Help serious Audio rendering issues within final cut pro

    Hello
    I have some serious audio issues I am using Final cut 6.05. Here is my problem I am putting a AUParametricEq filter on my audio due wind noise etc. Anyway when i play it back on the time line it plays fine no problems but as soon final cut renders the file say for mastering to tape. at some point at the audio the audio goes all haywire, popping sounds or the audio just repeats it self at one frame or i can here audio from other parts of the timeline. And it just happened before i never had the issue. Is it the update. Hope anybody can help as I need to master about 6 projects to tape to clean my harddrives and all 6 projects have the same issue.

  • How do you import a Widescreen Quick Time File captured by Final Cut Pro?

    Hi
    Here's my workflow: I captured HD 1440X1080 footage in Final Cut Pro. FCP creates a folder of Quick Time Files in a Scratch Folder. A month ago, I had no problem importing the Quick Time files into IMOVIE HD 6 and preserving the widescreen format.
    Now, for some reason, when I import the same files into IMOVIE HD, it is squashing the image (stretching it vertically) and leaving a gray bar on the left side of the screen.
    Can IMOVIE HD import Widescreen QT files created by FCP? If so, how?
    All help appreciated.

    iDVD does everything automatically for you. With DVDSP and Compressor, all steps must be done correctly. The trade off is that you achieve better quality using Compressor over iDVD.
    1. First thing to do is export your sequence as an uncompressed interlaced 25i 720 x 576 16x9 Anamorphic QT.
    2. Determine your optimal bitrate by using a bitrate calculator. Here's a good one. Remember you need to account for all video on the disc, including motion menus.
    http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm
    3. Bring your down converted QT into Compressor and use the manual settings set your bitrate. Also encode out a Dolby digital AC3 file. These files take up less bandwidth than uncompressed audio. Also remember to match your upper fiiled dominate filed order as well in Compressor. This must be consistent throughout the export and encoding stages.
    4. bring your encoded video and audio files into DVDSP and author
