Using Soundtrack Pro With Apple Professional Applications
Editing a Clip Using a Soundtrack Pro Script
You can edit a Final Cut Pro clip destructively using a Soundtrack Pro script while
working in Final Cut Pro. When you send a clip to a Soundtrack Pro script, the clip
opens in the Waveform Editor, the actions in the script are performed, the clip is saved
with the changes, and the Waveform Editor moves to the background so you can
continue working in Final Cut Pro.
To edit a clip using a Soundtrack Pro script:
m
Control-click the clip in the Final Cut Pro Timeline or Bin, choose Send To >
Soundtrack Pro Script from the shortcut menu, then choose the script you want to use
from the submenu.
Soundtrack Pro opens and the clip appears in the Waveform Editor. The actions in the
script are performed and the clip is saved with the changes. The Soundtrack Pro
window moves to the background, and the Final Cut Pro windows return to the
foreground.
You can select multiple clips in Final Cut Pro to edit using a script. When you send
multiple clips to a Soundtrack Pro script, each clip is opened, edited, saved, and closed
in sequence.
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 using the last script:
m
Control-click the clip in the Final Cut Pro Timeline or Bin, then choose Send To > Last
Soundtrack Pro Script from the shortcut menu.
