Soundtrack Pro opens and each clip is automatically opened, edited, saved, and closed
in the File Editor.
You can also repeat the last script you used to edit a clip, making it easy to edit several
clips with the same set of actions.
To edit a clip with the last script used:
m Control-click the clip in the Final Cut Pro Browser or Timeline, then choose Send To >
Last Soundtrack Pro Script from the shortcut menu.
To disable the dialog that appears when you use the Send To Soundtrack Pro
Script command:
1 Choose Final Cut Pro > User Preferences, then click the Editing tab.
2 Deselect the Warn on “Send to Soundtrack Pro Script” option, then click OK.
Opening a Final Cut Pro Clip’s Media File Directly in Soundtrack Pro
You can open a Final Cut Pro clip’s media file directly in the Soundtrack Pro File Editor
by choosing the Open in Editor command, or by opening the file from the Finder.
Important: In either of these cases, if you make changes in the Soundtrack Pro File
Editor and save those changes to the original file, your changes will be destructive and
permanent. To edit nondestructively, you can save the file as a Soundtrack Pro audio
file project and import that file into Final Cut Pro.
About the Open in Editor Command
To open Final Cut Pro audio clips in Soundtrack Pro using the Open in Editor command,
choose Final Cut Pro > System Settings, then click the External Editors tab. Make sure that
Soundtrack Pro is the application set to open audio files. This ensures that Final Cut Pro
automatically opens Soundtrack Pro when you choose Open in Editor and that, when you
return to Final Cut Pro, the clip is automatically reconnected to the updated media file.
You can also choose Soundtrack Pro for editing video files if you work with a lot of linked
video and audio clip items. For more information, see Volume IV, Chapter 23, “Choosing
Settings and Preferences.”
