Exporting Multitrack Projects
Once you have created a final mix of a multitrack project, you
can choose from several different ways to deliver it. You can
export the project mix or export individual tracks, busses, or
submixes to a wide variety of formats.
You can export a project to a mono, stereo, or multichannel audio file. You can export
all, or selected, tracks, busses, or submixes to either stereo or multichannel audio files,
or to groups of mono files. And you can create as many mixes of your project as you
like by selecting or muting tracks, busses, and submixes; adjusting controls, effects, and
envelopes; and then exporting each version as a separate mix.
Export file formats include the following standard audio file types: AIFF, WAVE, NeXT,
Sound Designer II, MP3, AAC/Podcast, and Dolby Digital Professional (AC-3). You can
also export a project to a variety of formats using Compressor, the Final Cut Studio
transcoding application.
Note: Dolby Digital Professional encoding is available only on computers that have
Final Cut Studio installed.
The Soundtrack Pro Export dialog includes a variety of post-export actions that can
automatically open the exported files in a Final Cut Pro sequence or in File Editor project
view, place exported files on new tracks, or export a mix to Motion, Logic, or Waveburner.
You can also add your own custom Applescript actions using the Export dialog.
To streamline your workflow, you can create custom export presets with any combination
of exported items, file types, bit depths, sample rates, and post-export actions.
You can also export your project using AAF, an industry-standard project interchange
format. And you can save a multitrack project with all of the media files it uses together
in the same folder.
