Using Soundtrack Pro with Third-Party Applications
You can use Soundtrack Pro to exchange media and project files with
third-party applications.
Exchanging OMF and AAF Files with Other Applications
When you “send” a Final Cut Pro sequence to a Soundtrack Pro multitrack project, you
are using the Final Cut Pro XML Interchange Format to transfer the data between the
two applications. Open Media Framework (OMF) and Advanced Authoring Format
(AAF) are two industry-standard project interchange formats that Soundtrack Pro can
use to share projects and import the editing decisions from other (third-party) video
and audio editing applications. You can also export a multitrack project from
Soundtrack Pro as an AAF file.
For more information on sending Final Cut Pro sequences to Soundtrack Pro multitrack
projects, see “
Using Soundtrack Pro with Final Cut Pro ” on page 421.
