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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

    hi,

  • 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.

    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

  • Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

    Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

    Thanks Tom -
    I created two "sequences". They are currently listed individually in the "project library". Now I want to take sequence "B" and attatch it in it's entirety to the end of sequence "A" - forming one long sequence.
    I have tried to drag sequence "B" and drop it into "A's" timeline. I have tried to creat a compound clip. I'm either missing something - or - you can create a compound "clip" or a compound "event" - but perhaps you cannot link to "projects" together.
    Does this help descibe my problem?
    Thanks again.

  • How can you fix corrupt Project Files in Final Cut Pro X?

    Hello All,
    I have reason to believe that one of my project files in Final Cut Pro X is corrupt.
    How may I begin to resolve this issue?  Is there a third party software someone could recommend, like Digital Rebellion (if they have software for FCP X, I'm not sure) that may improve, if not hopefully solve this issue?
    Many thanks!!

    Had a similar problem.
    Follow it here:

    among other steps taken I used Corrupt Clip Finder to isolate/remove the culprit and all was OK after that
    no idea how/why the file ( which I''d been using over 5 previous versions) became corrupted

  • 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!

I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own.

    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.

  • HT203477 Why does my computer quit unexpectedly when I click on "Show the Project Library" in Final Cut Pro X ?

    Hello,
    When I click on "Show the Project Library" on Final Cut Pro X program, my computer unexpectedly quits.
    I just purchased an iMac 27in screen, (16G Ram) and all the features suggested by the Apple representative to run Final Cut Pro X.
    The program was working well for about a week. Afterward, I downloaded all my iMovie projects. I'm wondering if that has created this problem.
    Any suggestions as to what the solution might be?    Thanks.
    Jack

    Over the year I've used FCPX, it' s gone through "spells" where specific actions would crash it - much as you describe. Trashing preferences has nearly always fixed things. Several times, when it did not, I reinstalled the app.
    However, I've never imported an  iMovie project so I can't give any first hand advice. It will be interesting to see whether FCPX opens if it doesn't see those projects. (per Tom Wolsky's advice.)

  • 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.

  • Can I import a Final Cut Pro X project back into Final Cut 7?

    I want to go back to Final Cut 7 (Studio '09) from Final Cut Pro X, but I've already started work in Final Cut Pro X, and I'm worried that my FCP X timelines won't open in FCP 7. Does anyone know?

    big no on that one Im afraid, at some point in the future FCPX may export xml but not yet, your project (timeline) is pretty much quarantined inside FCPX, I'd bite the bullet and finish it there if I were you
    cheers

  • Backing up Final Cut Pro projects

    I would like to save projects on a portable source such as a DVD. I would like to use the same video on several different work stations. Every way I try seems to save just a "link" to the video stored on my computer, so when I try and load it on another computer it shows the video clips as "offline".
    How can I save the actual video clips on a DVD that I can use in Final Cut Pro on another computer?
    Thanks for your help

    Just to make sure, please don't hit me if you already know this, but...
    The Final Cut project files are just "organization and direction" files. They are files that simply contain directions and 'pointers' to the actual video clips saved on your hard drive. They tell Final cut to "use just this section" of the actual captured clip on your hard drive.
    The actual captured clips might be stored on your main hard drive in the following folder(s):
    documents\Final Cut Pro Documents\Capture Scratch\ (Your project filename folders here)
    Again, you can smack me if I'm not getting the gist of your question, but the key would be moving your actual captured clips to an external firewire drive (as the others have suggested) and then moving that to the other machine ALONG with your project files.
    that make sense?

  • Backing up Final Cut Pro

    I am using the built-in backup to my 2Tb Time Machine but have noticed that whenever I do some editing in Final Cut Pro, even just one cut or two, the entire project appears to be backed up the next time a scheduled backup starts (12 gigs on the one I am working on at present). Although I have plenty of space on the Time Machine, the backups take some time - in fact it seems that backing up is almost constant now. Is this correct? I don't want to exclude Final Cut Pro backups as I may forget to reinstate them.

    I use Shirt Pocket's Super Duper to clone my working external disk to my backup disk - making sure the backup disk is offline when I start FCP X(otherwise it gets confused). This works extremely well.
    SuperDuper has a 'Smart Update' feature which (when enabled) only updates files which have changed or which are new to the backup drive. Using Smart Update, the backup usually takes about two minutes per day, rather than the hours it would otherwise take.
    Your backup drive must be formatted OS Extended (either journaled or not).
    If I ever need the backup, I will simply rename the backup disk to be the same as the working disk so that FCP X will recongnise it.

  • How do I organise my library to be able see all the projects properly on Final Cut Pro 10.

    I've now done several projects, and if I want to find an old one, I go to open library, and then I have to wade through a list of 'Macintosh HD Projects and Events' and then a long number so I click at random, not knowing if I'm opening 'The Faith Machine' 'Dad's Away' or 'Jack and Jems'. And a lot of the time I'll click on one item, and it will open one project, and then I'll click on another project five more down the list and it'll be exactly the same project that I've opened twice. Just above the timeline there are the two little arrows to navigate between projects but I can only use them if I've gone up to file, open library and click on any of these projects. I have a total of 6 projects but for some reason there are endless projects that seem to come up and I seem to have lost some.
    I knew someone who had Final Cut Pro 10 and she was able to navigate away from one timeline/one project and see all the projects she'd worked on in the space where the timeline is. Then she clicked on each project and that would open. It was very simple, but it seems to be really difficult if i simply want to open up a past project.
    Thanks
