Using Soundtrack Pro With Other Applications
You can open an audio file exported from Soundtrack Pro (a project mix, an exported
track, bus, or output, or an audio file project saved as an AIFF file or a QuickTime movie)
in any application that supports audio files.
When you save an audio file project using the Save As command, be sure the Render
checkbox is selected in the Save As dialog.
If you save an audio file project as an AIFF file or a QuickTime movie, a link is included
in the AIFF or movie, letting you reopen the project in Soundtrack Pro and make
changes to action settings and other edits.
When you reopen the AIFF or QuickTime movie in Soundtrack Pro, a dialog appears,
asking if you want to open the audio file or the original project. In the dialog, click
Open Project. The audio file project opens in the Soundtrack Pro Waveform Editor so
you can continue working. When you are finished working in Soundtrack Pro, be sure
to save the audio file project before saving it as an AIFF or QuickTime movie so your
changes are retained.
If you export a saved multitrack project using Export > Export Mix, a link is included in
the exported file, letting you reopen the multitrack project in Soundtrack Pro and make
changes. The project must have been previously saved at least once before you export
the project mix.
When you reopen the exported file, a dialog appears, asking if you want to open the
audio file or the original project. In the dialog, click Open Project.
The multitrack project opens in the Soundtrack Pro Timeline so you can continue
working. When you are finished working in Soundtrack Pro, be sure to save the
multitrack project before exporting a project mix so your changes are retained.
