ABSTRACT
The expectations of the video editor include the group of transfer functions and Soundtrack installation items that an editor would need to know to get their Final Cut sequence into Soundtrack. This chapter covers different types of topics, starting with installation of Soundtrack Pro, covering the transfer of files from Final Cut Pro to Soundtrack Pro, and then on to a more abstract discussion of the audio tasks. One of the really powerful features of Final Cut Pro is the ability to send files and sequences directly to Soundtrack. This integration is a promise of potential collaboration that could be truly amazing. The Send to Soundtrack function is quite good at a number of things. The newly created Soundtrack multitrack session automatically matches the Final Cut sequence settings. Cross-fades transfer with frame-accurate edges, while fades in and out of audio files don’t transfer at all.
