Unsupported Media and Effects
Since QuickTime is the file format used for all media exchange between Final Cut Pro
and Shake, the following media and settings are not imported into Shake from Final
Cut Pro:
• QuickTime audio tracks
• Standalone audio files
• Still image files
• Generators
• Composite modes
• Transformations (referred to in Final Cut Pro as motion effects)
• Filters
Sequentially edited clips in Final Cut Pro
Resulting arrangement in Shake
Warning: Audio clips and tracks from the original QuickTime files are not imported
into Shake. Any timing changes you make in Shake will result in the adjusted clips
going out of sync with the audio in the originating Final Cut Pro project file.
