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.
Note: Clip information is sent from Soundtrack Pro to Final Cut Pro using the Final Cut Pro
XML Interchange Format.

mixdown
