Custom Actions

You can save a series of actions in the File Editor as an AppleScript droplet. Those
droplets will appear as actions in the After Export pop-up menu (provided you save
them to the default location: /Users/username/Library/Scripts/Soundtrack Pro Scripts/).

For more information about creating your own AppleScript droplets in Soundtrack Pro,
see “

Scripting Actions in the File Editor Project View

” on page 248.

You can also add your own AppleScript scripts (that you create outside of
Soundtrack Pro) to this default location, and they will appear in the After Export
pop-up menu. Such custom actions could include an AppleScript script to send an
email notification or to automatically transfer the exported file to a web server.

To add your own AppleScript scripts to the After Export pop-up menu:

1

Confirm that your AppleScript script uses the following syntax (to ensure that it works
in the in the After Export pop-up menu):

2

Save your AppleScript script to the default Soundtrack Pro AppleScript location: /Users/
username/Library/Scripts/Soundtrack Pro Scripts/.
