Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1009)

Sending Clips from Final Cut Pro to the Soundtrack Pro File Editor
When you send an audio clip from Final Cut Pro to the Soundtrack Pro File Editor, a
Soundtrack Pro audio file project is created with the file extension .stap. This file can be
edited nondestructively. The Final Cut Pro clip is reconnected to the new Soundtrack Pro
audio file project, so the original media file is not affected by what you do in the File
Editor.
You can send single clips or multiple clips to Soundtrack Pro audio file projects.
To send a single Final Cut Pro clip to the Soundtrack Pro File Editor
1 Do one of the following:
• Select the clip in either the Final Cut Pro Browser or Timeline, then choose File > Send
To > Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project.
• Control-click the clip in either the Final Cut Pro Browser or Timeline, then choose Send
To > Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project from the shortcut menu.
The Save dialog appears.
2 In the Save dialog, do the following:
• Enter a name for the Soundtrack Pro audio file project.
• Choose a location to save the Soundtrack Pro audio file project.
• Select “Send only referenced media” to copy only the used section of the media
(between the In and Out points) to the new Soundtrack Pro audio file project. This is
recommended unless you intend to edit the entire source file.
• To add media handles when the “Send only referenced media” option is selected, enter
handle durations in the In Handle and Out Handle fields.
3 Click Save.
