Sending a Mixdown Back to Final Cut Pro Automatically
When you create a Soundtrack Pro multitrack project from within Final Cut Pro, all of
the sequence clip information is stored in the multitrack project. When you export a
mixdown of the multitrack project in Soundtrack Pro, you can also choose to open a
new copy of the Final Cut Pro sequence that looks just like the original sequence but
has additional audio tracks that contain your mixdown.
Clip information is sent from Soundtrack Pro to Final Cut Pro using the Final Cut Pro
XML Interchange Format.
To export a mixdown and open a new copy of a Final Cut Pro sequence containing
the mixdown:
1 In Soundtrack Pro, open the multitrack project you want to mix down.
2 Choose File > Export.
3 If you wish, you may choose options from the following pop-up menus:
 Exported Items: Choose an entire mix, or individual tracks, busses, or submixes, or
some combination thereof.
 File Type: The default (AIFF File) is appropriate for Final Cut Pro use.
 Bit Depth: Choose the setting appropriate for your Final Cut Pro project.
 Sample Rate: Choose the setting appropriate for your Final Cut Pro project.
 Preset: Optionally, you can save a preset combining all of the above settings, for
future exports.
4 Choose “Send files to Final Cut Pro sequence” from the After Export pop-up menu.
5 Enter a name for the exported file and click Export.
Soundtrack Pro exports mixdown files from the multitrack project and adds them to a
Final Cut Pro XML file containing the original sequence. For your convenience, the
audio tracks from the original sequence are moved to other tracks and are muted.
