In the dialog that appears, choose from the following options:

Open in Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Editor: Select this option to open the multitrack project

in Soundtrack Pro after it is created.

Include Background Video: Select this option to render the video in your Final Cut Pro

sequence. The Soundtrack Pro multitrack project refers to this file in its video track so
you can see your video while you edit. Select what kind of background video you want
to export:

Fully Rendered Video (slow): Your entire sequence is rendered at full quality to a

QuickTime movie file. This option is recommended if the project is to be moved to
another computer.

Base Layer Video (fast): Any sequence segment that requires rendering in Safe RT

mode (in other words, any segment with a red render bar) is exported without effects.
These files cannot be moved to a different computer. For more information, see

“Play

Base Layer Only.”

Save project with latest clip metadata (recommended): Select this option to ensure an

accurate change history by having Final Cut Pro automatically save the project after
the send process.

the Soundtrack Pro Timeline.

For more information about editing and mixing multitrack projects in Soundtrack Pro,
