Soundtrack Pro.
Processing a Clip’s Media File with a Soundtrack Pro Script
When you send a Final Cut Pro clip’s media to a Soundtrack Pro script, the following
steps occur for each unique file:
 With your consent, Final Cut Pro generates a Soundtrack Pro audio file project and
replaces the clip’s media file with it.
 The audio file project or the clip’s media file opens in the Soundtrack Pro File Editor.
 The script actions are applied to the audio file project or the media file.
 The audio file project or the clip’s media file is saved with the changes.
If your clip’s media file is a standard audio or video file, you have the option to create a
new Soundtrack Pro audio file project, so as to process the file nondestructively. If you
don’t take advantage of this option, the script processes the source media destructively
(permanently). If your clip’s media file is already a Soundtrack Pro audio file project, the
changes are nondestructive.
About Soundtrack Pro Scripts
Soundtrack Pro scripts are AppleScript droplets containing Soundtrack Pro File Editor
actions. Scripts can be created in Soundtrack Pro or a script editing application such
as Script Editor, the AppleScript application included with Mac OS X.
