4 Modify the audio as needed.
5 Choose File > Save to save the project with the changes.
A dialog appears allowing you to choose whether the Soundtrack Pro audio file project
should include a copy of the original audio media file or simply refer to it.
6 Choose one of the following, then click OK.
 Include Source Audio: This option copies the original audio media file into the
Soundtrack Pro audio file project package. Because the audio file project has its own
copy of the original media, it is self-contained and doesn’t rely on any external audio
files. This option simplifies media management and makes it easier to transfer the
audio file project to other computers. However, this increases the project file size and
therefore requires more disk space.
 Reference Source Audio: This option creates a link to the original source audio file,
resulting in a smaller project file. However, to use this project file, you always need to
keep track of the original source audio file. If you accidentally delete the original
media file, the Soundtrack Pro audio file project can no longer play back. Choose the
Reference Source Audio option only if the media is in a shared location accessible
from any computer you might use to access the Soundtrack Pro audio file project.
When you return to Final Cut Pro, the clip now connects to the new Soundtrack Pro audio
file project.
To send multiple Final Cut Pro clips to Soundtrack Pro:
1 Select multiple clips in the Browser or Timeline.
2 Do one of the following:
 Choose File > Send To > Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project.
 Control-click the selection and choose Send To > Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project
from the shortcut menu.
3 In the Save dialog, choose a location to save the new Soundtrack Pro audio file projects.
4 To create a new folder, press Command-Shift-N, enter a name for the folder, then
click Create.
5 Click OK.
6 A Soundtrack Pro audio file project is created for each clip selected in Final Cut Pro. Each
Soundtrack Pro audio file project is then opened in a File Editor tab in Soundtrack Pro.
