Using Conform with Final Cut Pro
Here is how a picture editor and a sound editor might work together using Conform:
 A Final Cut Pro sequence is sent to a Soundtrack Pro multitrack project.
 Changes and edits are made in parallel to both the Final Cut Pro sequence and the
Soundtrack Pro multitrack project. The Soundtrack Pro project that the sound editor
uses is referred to as the “original” audio mix.
 An “updated” send is performed to provide Soundtrack Pro with a new version of the
project containing the edits performed in Final Cut Pro. This creates a second
Soundtrack Pro multitrack project, referred to as the “updated project.”
 When you initiate Conform, Soundtrack Pro analyzes both the “original” audio mix
and the “updated” send from Final Cut Pro, including all possible clip moves and
media changes.
 Soundtrack Pro then generates a third project, referred to as the “Result” project, that
has every change made with the highest confidence. You can then use the Conform
interface to review/modify/approve all the changes needed to best perform the
process of editing the audio mix to match the new project.
To conform a Soundtrack Pro multitrack project to changes made to the source
sequence in Final Cut Pro:
1
Select a sequence in the Final Cut Pro Browser.
2
Do one of the following:
 Choose File > Send To > Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project.

latest clip metadata
