To send an audio track from Motion to the Waveform Editor:
1
In the Motion Audio tab or Timeline Layer list, select the audio track.
2
Choose Edit > Send Audio to Soundtrack.
A new audio file project is created for the audio track, and a Save As dialog appears.
3
In the Save As dialog, type a name for the new project, and browse to a location to
save the project.
A new audio file project containing the audio track opens in the Soundtrack Pro
Waveform Editor.
4
Edit the audio file project in the Waveform Editor.
You can use the commands and functions described in Chapter 7, “
,” on page 143. You can graphically edit the file, apply actions, analyze
the file, and fix analyzed problems.
When you are finished editing the audio file project of the audio track, you save the
project in Soundtrack Pro.
5
In Soundtrack Pro, choose File > Save.
When you save an audio file project sent from Motion, a render file is included in the
project, which Motion uses to update the audio track. If you save the project using the
Save As command, be sure to leave the Render checkbox selected each time you save
the project, so the clip will be updated in the Motion project. If you deselect the
Render checkbox, you will not be able to reconnect the audio file project with the
audio track, and your changes will be lost.
When you have followed the steps described above, the clip is updated in Motion. You
hear the clip with the changes you made in the Waveform Editor, without having to
reimport the clip. You can make roundtrips between Motion and Soundtrack Pro by
opening the saved audio file project, making changes, then saving the project. Each
time you save the project, the clip is updated in Motion.
