Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1012)

4 Select one of the following options:
• Yes: Creates a Soundtrack Pro audio file project for each clip and then prompts you for
a location to save these project files. You can create a new folder by pressing
Command-Shift-N.
• No: This option edits the files destructively, making permanent changes to the original
media files.
• Cancel: Cancels the script operation.
Soundtrack Pro opens and each clip is automatically opened, edited, saved, and closed
in the File Editor.
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 with the last script used
µ
Control-click the clip in the Final Cut Pro Browser or Timeline, then choose Send To > Last
Soundtrack Pro Script from the shortcut menu.
To disable the dialog that appears when you use the Send To Soundtrack Pro Script
command
1 Choose Final Cut Pro > User Preferences, then click the Editing tab.
2 Deselect the Warn on “Send to Soundtrack Pro Script” option, then click OK.
Opening a Final Cut Pro Clip’s Media File in Soundtrack Pro
You can open a Final Cut Pro clip’s media file directly in the Soundtrack Pro File Editor by
choosing the Open in Editor command, or by opening the file from the Finder.
Important: In either of these cases, if you make changes in the Soundtrack Pro File Editor
and save those changes to the original file, your changes will be destructive and
permanent. To edit nondestructively, you can save the file as a Soundtrack Pro audio file
project and import that file into Final Cut Pro.
About the Open in Editor Command
To open Final Cut Pro audio clips in Soundtrack Pro using the Open in Editor command,
choose Final Cut Pro > System Settings, then click the External Editors tab. Make sure that
Soundtrack Pro is the application set to open audio files. This ensures that Final Cut Pro
automatically opens Soundtrack Pro when you choose Open in Editor and that, when
you return to Final Cut Pro, the clip is automatically reconnected to the updated media
file. You can also choose Soundtrack Pro for editing video files if you work with a lot of
linked video and audio clip items. For more information, see
“Choosing Settings and
Preferences.”
