Export projects
Export a project as an AAF file
AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) is used by other music production applications such as
Pro Tools. You can use it to import multiple audio tracks, inclusive of references to tracks, time
positions, and volume automation.
Export the current project as an AAF file
1 Choose File > Export > Project as AAF file (or use the Export Project as AAF File key command).
2 In the Save AAF File As dialog, choose the following pop-up menu options:
•
Sample Rate: Choose 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz.
•
Bit Depth: Choose either 16 or 24 bit.
•
File Format: Choose WAVE or AIFF.
•
Dither Type: Choose one of the dithering algorithms (see About dithering algorithms ).
3 Choose a location, enter a name for the file, then click OK.
The export includes all used regions, inclusive of track and position references, and
volume automation.
Export a project as a Final Cut Pro XML file
The Final Cut Pro XML format is used to import and export audio data between Final Cut Pro and
Logic Pro. The Final Cut Pro XML format supports automation data.
Export the current project as a Final Cut Pro XML file
1 Choose File > Export > Project to Final Cut Pro/XML.
2 In the Export dialog, type a name for the exported file and browse to a location to save it.
3 To include the video file in the exported XML, select the “Include video in export” checkbox.
4 To export the file as a Final Cut compound clip, select the “Export as Final Cut Compound Clip”
checkbox.
5 Click Save.
Note: When you export to Final Cut Pro XML, audio software instrument tracks are bounced to
audio files, but MIDI tracks are ignored. Bouncing will automatically switch to real-time mode, if
necessary (such as when an I/O or External Instrument plug-in is used).
Export a project as MusicXML
MusicXML is an XML-based music notation file format, supported by many notation and music
OCR applications and some music production applications. You can freely redistribute the
MusicXML DTDs and XSDs used with MusicXML under the MusicXML Public License.
Many scorewriting programs (including Finale, Sibelius, and MuseScore) and Music OCR
programs (including SmartScore and PhotoScore) can open and display MusicXML files. Some
music sequencer programs (including Cubase, SONAR, and Rosegarden) can also open these files.
