Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 989)

8 Cut the stereo beep and paste it 2 seconds beyond the beginning and end of each audio
track you will export.
This shows the sync
beep at the beginning
of an audio track.
Stage 3: Arranging Audio Clips So They Don’t Overlap
When you export audio files, there is no automatic way to include “handles,” or extra
audio at the beginning and end of each audio clip. If you want extra audio before and
after the In and Out points of each audio clip, you need to manually change the In and
Out points of each audio clip in your sequence.
Note: When you add handles, be careful not to move the placement of clips in your
sequence. In some cases, you may need to move your audio clips into two adjacent tracks
to create an overlapping checkerboard pattern of audio clips that include handles.
Stage 4: Removing Audio Filters and Deleting Level or Pan Keyframes
To remove any dynamic mixing, remove all audio filters from your audio clips, flatten the
audio level overlays to 0 decibels (dB), and remove any stereo panning you may have
introduced.
To remove all audio filters and keyframes in your sequence
1 Select every audio clip in your sequence by clicking in the Timeline and pressing
Command-A.
All video clips are selected too, but you don’t need to worry about your video clips because
you are only using this sequence to export audio.
2 Control-click one of the selected clips in the Timeline, then choose Remove Attributes
from the shortcut menu.
3 In the Remove Attributes dialog, select Levels, Pan, and Filters, then click OK.
