Final Cut Pro or opened via XML documents) appear in this dialog.

of the project. You can use the Conform tab to merge the changes from the picture editor
with the changes from the sound editor.

Using Logic Pro with Final Cut Pro
Logic Pro is a full-featured music production application that you can use to score your
Final Cut Pro project. You can easily use Logic Pro to export completed music mixdowns
and import these files into Final Cut Pro. For more complicated projects, you can use the
Final Cut Pro XML Interchange Format to transfer data between Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro.
For example, you can transfer multiple tracks complete with clips properly positioned in
the Timeline and Arrange windows, region names, and volume and pan automation data.
