ABSTRACT

Soundtrack Pro 3 performs exports of all types of audio in a fraction of the actual runtime of a session. This, combined with the flexibility and number of options available at the exporting stage, means that Soundtrack Pro is becoming more useful in the world of post-production audio for film, especially for independent filmmakers and production houses. Soundtrack Pro sessions, with accompanying metadata, can be exported for continuation of work on another application or machine. The program is also capable of exporting master stereo and surround mixes, and selected tracks including sub-mixes and busses, video only, and audio/video interleaved masters. This chapter demonstrates some of the different methods and uses for the main Export function in Soundtrack Pro. As with exporting the video only, Soundtrack Pro provides a great many options for audio/video exporting. The process of uncompressed exporting is less time-consuming than exporting directly to Dolby Digital.
