Trouble exporting multi-track project

A client gave me a drive with his show on it. I 'm supposed to cut the sound on Sound Track pro, it's an experiement for me.
I've exported multi-track before, and have exported from this project, one of the daily roll assemblies. But something in the final version is totally screwing me.
It exports and then I get the message that the exported session file can't be opened.
G5 Dual Core 2 gighz Mac OS X (10.4.2) Final Cut Studio, Sound Track pro 1.0.5

Well I think I've found the problem a 4 track wave file. Seems Soundtrack Pro really is not ready.

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,
i have the same situation. expirienced in fcp, new in soundtrack pro.
similar message. did you find an solution ?

Multi track project shows audio track 1 & not 2 need help!!!!

hello everyone... Have a sequence in fcp 1 video track 2 audio tracks i right mouse click the sequence go to send to click on multi track project it sends to soundtrack pro but only track 1

This would frustrate me in the beginning and sometimes it will come back to me. I'll blame that on the Pro tools I have installed. Make sure that device is enabled in controll panel, hardware. Disable the ones you don't use. I don't think AA will recognize usb or firewire hardware if that is what you have. Needs to be a card. I use the M-Audio Delta L1010. 8 inputs. I use 8 direct outs from my mixing board into the 8 inputs on the card. Sounds very good for the price.
Good luck.

Can you export multi track audio using FCPX?

hey guys
i can only find export audio under the "share" menu
and it has aiff,aac and mp3, no wav or omf and no options to include as multi tracks rather than a single stereo track or 5.1 surround
do you guys know of a way to export multiple tracks? without muting every track and export numerous times of course

Typed this hours ago and forgot to post it.....
Have actually done that and sent a test piece to the broadcaster. Not sure if I have got the audio tracks in the right order.... from top to bottom would that be audio tracks 1-4, with four at the bottom? I am waiting to hear back from the broadcaster to see if the test piece works as they expect it to.

Help with multi track project

Hi all,
So I recorded my church's worship and sermon on GB through the local sound system. We upload the sermons onto the church's website, and use the worship recordings for practice. I muted all but the one version of the sermon I wanted and saved, clicked Send to itunes, and waited. The itunes version ended up having all six tracks (3 sermons and 3 worship sessions) overlayed, making things incomprehensible. I went back to GB and reopened the project to find that only the first track (worship session 1) had any "fuzzy lines" (i.e sound waves) on it, and it was all of the tracks overlayed again. The other 5 tracks were just flat lines that had no sound. I am at a loss on what to do. Any suggestions?

Before muting Tracks and exporting to iTunes did you have the waveform on all Tracks and did each Track contain a discrete sermon?
(Usually I solo the one Track instead of muting the others, but that really shouldn't make a difference.)
After saving I suppose you didn't somehow un-mute the Tracks? When you went back to the Project were the Tracks still muted?
And you say you went back to GB and "reopened the Project." Why did you close it at all? (maybe a silly question but I'm spit-balling here.)

Multi Track Project (keeps looooooooaaaaddding)

Hi there,
Ok heres my problem. I have a full lenth feature film (1hr 23 min) in Final Cut Pro 5. the picture is fine but now i need to move to audio and get that down and set.
I highlight everything in the timeline. GO up to file>send to > soundtrack multi project. Everything goes and exports and renders but when its done it just loads and loads and loads. I finally got it into soundtrack pro by exporting as XML but i would like to get the other way to work.
Thanks
Kyle

If FCP is set to allocate all available ram, there may not be much left over for STP to crank up.

Multi-track project syncing with video

Dear All,
After I sent a project from FCP to Soundtrack Pro, the sound tracks have no linking with the video. That is, if I move a clip accidently, the clip will become out-of-sync with the picture. Is there anyway I can lock the audio files with the video making sure no out-of-sync?
Thanks.
King

Every Clip can Be locked in sdtr pro.
Highlight the specific Clip(s) in your Timeline in sdtr pro, rightclick and Select Saving Clip
After that all selected Clips are saved, you can not Move them until you unlock them.

Cutting the Last Part of a Multi-Track Project & Pasting It Into a New One

I've recorded 55 mins. of audio on a two separate tracks (i.e., one is narration, one is some intermittent dialogue), only I've decided to cut the first "chapter" to only 30 mins. and transfer the other already-recorded stuff to the second chapter -- which will be a new project I'll start.
How do I cut-and-paste the material? Can you open a new project and keep it open at the same time you are going back to the old one? I.e., can you have two screens of it up at the same time, or do you have to copy one, close out the project, open the second project, paste it, then close that one and go back to the first one and repeat?
I know this may seem hopelessly beginner a question, but...please help?

Although the point of this article is different, the explanation in it will show you how to copy between projects:

How to export all tracks in one aiff?

I have a very simple multi-track project. It's just two people talking. One of them is on track 1, the other on track two. I want to export this project as an aiff and be able to hear both tracks. So far, every time I export the "master mix" I'm only getting track 1. Track 2 doesn't come out at all.
Ideally, I would be able to create a mix wherein I'm not hear track 1 on the left stereo speaker and track 2 on the right speaker. I'd like each track mixed together so that I'm hearing each voice on both the left and right channels.

Julian, are you hearing what you desire when you play the project? Because an export of the mix should sound the same as what you get on playback.
If you have 2 tracks in the project. The panning on both channels is 0 or in the center. The submix output is stereo. The File > Export > Exported items is Master Mix. Then the result should be a stereo file with both of your audio tracks equally on both sides of the stereo master file. This would then sound like it is coming from the center of your 2 speakers.
The mixer is accessed a few ways. If you have the lower pane open (Control-S), there is a tab for mixer. Or maybe try toggling between the normal view F1 and the other view F2 which has a separate mixer window.

Audio Drop out when editing in Waveform / No Multi track File

Ok so i have a bigger problem. Therefore thats why i am reposting.
I have a 40 minutes video and the last scene needs alot of audio editing. I am trying to export the 8 minute scene to a Multi Track project for soundtrack pro. When i click send to multi track project, i click "Include background video" however when i click save, it exports then gives me the error "Error Sending Selection to Soundtrack Pro" however when I uncheck the "include background video" i am able to open up soundtrack pro and see all the audio tracks but the video is absent.
Its just the multi track that i am unable to do. I am able to export as a Audio File Project and still the video. However when i try to do nosie reduction the audio plays for a few seconds then stops.

Hi Luis,
Thank you for that.
Seems like you have a point about the "hardware" issue. I'm unsure (new to it all) at what data rate my (er...wonderful) fusion drive provides FCPX for smooth playback - or where I can find that info on the iMac. Playing back movies in the 422 HQ codec seems to have no issues (when I converted the movie from 4444 HQ).
But playing the full 4444 HQ, the picture is smooth, but the audio has these drop-outs - even with "best performance" option ticked. Interesting that the audio suffers, not the picture in FCPX - so not sure what's going on there. I also read - perhaps - that to play a smooth ProRes 4444 HQ movie in FCPX the data rate should be min of 500 Mbs (based upon About Apple ProRes) for HD movies and up (i.e. 2k). ProRes 422 HQ needs a data rate of 220 Mbs - so that is my upper-limit to smooth video&audio playback with the current system I have, I guess.
Does anyone recommend a fast USB3 or Thunderbolt drive (500Mbs+) where I am able to run 4444HQ movies with no issues to picture or sound (away from the fusion drive)?

How to export STP tracks WITH edits, names, changes, envelopes back to FCP?

I sent my fcp sequence/movie to a STP multi-track project. Sweetened and edited my audio tracks in STP. All good. Now I need to export those changes back to my FCP sequence, NOT as long AIFF files, but with all the audio files that make up those tracks, with their cuts, handles, file names, and STP changes and envelopes, so that I can access them in FCP (where I must finish the project). It seems like the program should have been designed to do this... but I am hitting a brick wall. Please help. How can I achieve this?
I used conform, but it only seems to conform the STP project, NOT the FCP project to the new audio edits. I do what the manual says.
I tried exporting all tracks to AIFF and to open it within the FCP sequence, but it only gives me the option to open as a new sequence. The result is that the image sequence is correct, but the audio from STP is in long tracks with no edits, no file names, no envelopes, no handles.
Unfortunately I MUST finish my project in Final Cut Pro, and export OMF files for work in a professional FILM (not video) audio facility. They cannot use AAF files exported from STP. And STP doesn't export OMF files. It is NOT an option for me to finish my sound work in STP because of the film-specific facility where I must finish my soundtrack- which in the end goes to optical for use on a film reel.
Thank you for any help someone can give me !

That's one of things you simply cannot do. Conform is as close as it gets. But, you cannot export a STP in to FCP and maintain all the track info like you can the other way around. Part of the problem is that STP is referencing audio tracks FROM media crated in FCP. You'd have a situation where FCP is referencing audio from STP . . . that's referencing FCP audio. It doesn't work that way.
It's too bad the facility can't use the AAF file. That's the only real option.
Sorry.

Going from "Audio File" to "Multi-track" Editing in Soundtrack

Howdy!
In Final Cut I've exported multiple clips via right click and "Send to STP as Audio File Project."
Now, I've realized I am doing it all horribly wrong, and I would like to export my entire sequence again as a multi-track project!
Great, but now I have to ask myself, "What about the clips I've already EQed and used the noise cancellation tool on? Do I leave them as they are and just expect for them to go back to their original state? Or should I delete the files that STP made?" When I right click a clip this is the file type that STP made, that FCP links to, "292_1336_03.MOV (sent).stap"
Can I delete that file and about 7 others to make my audio return to it's normal state? Or is there a couple other steps I should do before ruining my life?
Thanks a bunch,
JS

I'd start with a Send to STP Multiclip project. You'll probably have to isolate the clips you already modified individually, only so you don't lay another track-based effect on top of an existing clip-based effect. Then just listen and see what you've got. If it's not going to work for you, well, chalk that up to a "learning moment," or "experiment." I have plenty of those sitting around here. Once you get a handle on the STP workflow it's much faster overall for dealing with an entire project (not so good for single clips).

Import-Export of track add some old projects and files.

We want to copy one NWDI track to new one.
When we Forward one track to to created new one, and open projects in Development Studio,
many old projects and files appeared, thatis not visible if to open old track in Studio.
So question is - how to export one track so it would appear in studio same way, but not "open all old existed" way?
As well very interested reason why so happens ?
thanks

Hi Vladimir,
I am not sure I fully understand your question, but if you'd like to copy a track to an other one, then I can suggest you to go for replication. This way you can keep the whole version history as well.
Replicating a Track into a Different DTR Repository (despite the title of this article I was confirmed by the development support that you can also use this procedure to replicate into the same DTR, not only into a different one)

If this is not what you need, then please rephrase the question for better understanding.
Thank you!

Exporting single tracks from a garageband project

how can i export single tracks from a garageband (6.0.5) project (and not the whole song) to be converted in aiff/wav?
thanks

Solo the track you want to export by clicking the solo (arrow)button in the Track header. Then export the song to the disk.

Trouble exporting projects

So I'm having trouble exporting .. Final Cut just keeps crashing when I try most types of Exports. If I select Share -- Master file, I'll get a beach ball, and then it crashes. The same with Share -- Apple devices. When I do Share -- YouTube, it seems to work. But at the final step, it just does nothing. Just hit Publish and it goes back to the project with no status bar or anything.
Part of the error that I get when it crashes includes:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: 0x000000000000000d, 0x0000000000000000
I'm using 10.0.7. Any ideas of what might be going on and what I could do to correct? Thanks!

Here's a doc you may want to review. Tells how to trash preferences and reinstall the app, the first two things to try. BTW, "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility is a waste of time, it has never "fixed" anything.
