106 Chapter 4 Working with Multitrack Projects
Creating a Multitrack Project from Final Cut Pro
Clips or Sequences
A convenient and powerful audio post-production workflow for any film or video
project is sending a Final Cut Pro sequence or clip to a Soundtrack Pro multitrack
project. For example, when the picture edit in a Final Cut Pro sequence is near
completion, you simply choose File > Send To > Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project.
Soundtrack Pro opens a new multitrack project with the tracks, clips, and edits from the
Final Cut Pro sequence, including the synchronized video.
For information on sending Final Cut Pro sequences and clips to Soundtrack Pro, see
“
Using Soundtrack Pro with Final Cut Pro ” on page 421.
Closing Multitrack Projects
At any time while you are working, you can close a multitrack project.
To close a project:
m Select the project’s tab in the project pane, then choose File > Close Project (or press
Command-W).
Setting Project Properties
Each project has a set of project properties that include sample rate, overlap mode,
selection mode, timecode, file management, and music-related properties. You can
change the project properties for a particular project using the multitrack project
controls at the top of the project pane or the Project tab.
Each project property has a default setting. You can also change the default project
properties for new projects in the Project pane of the Preferences window. For information
on setting preferences, see “
Setting Soundtrack Pro Preferences ” on page 97.
Automation Mode
You can automatically record movements you make to faders, sliders, and other
onscreen controls using the pointer. You record automation in Soundtrack Pro by
selecting either Touch or Latch automation mode in the project controls, then
changing volume, pan, and effects settings as the project plays.
