Chapter 18

Using Conform with Final Cut Pro

7

In the dialog that appears, confirm that the “Save project with latest clip metadata
(recommended)” checkbox is selected, then enter a new name for the multitrack
project and click Save.

This creates a new Soundtrack Pro project that will be referred to as the “updated” project.

8

Make sure that both the “original” audio mix project and the “updated” project are
open in Soundtrack Pro.

9

Do one of the following:

 Choose File > Conform To Project.
 Open the Conform tab, then click the Conform Projects button.

This initiates the conform process.

10

In the dialog that appears, select the “original” audio mix project (the “sound editor
version”) in the left list. Select the “updated” project (the more recent send from
Final Cut Pro—the “picture editor version”) in the right list.

Note: Only projects that have embedded Final Cut Pro clip metadata (projects sent
from Final Cut Pro or opened via XML documents) appear in this dialog.

11

Click Continue.

Soundtrack Pro analyzes the clip positions in your “original” audio mix and the clip
positions in the “updated” picture edit from Final Cut Pro, and determines the best
position/duration and media to use for each clip. Soundtrack Pro will attempt to
conform the audio mix from the “original” project to match the video from the
“updated” project.
