Problems going to and from STP
Posted this on the Soundtrack forum, but it seems pretty slow over there, hoping someone here can help me out.
New stp/fcp user, got a few edits under my belt, and now I’m in my first situation where I need STP, not sure what I’m not getting right.
I captured a 1 hr tape, the last 20 mins of which is an interview in a noisy environment, a boxing club. My plan was to apply noise reduction to the full interview subclip, then further sub clip my corrected subclip for my edit.
Put the subclip of the interview on a timeline, tried sending to STP as an audio proj, both times the entire 1 hr tape went to stp, not just the subclip. Tried highlighting the first 2/3 of the master clip in STP and deleting or cutting, no go. No matter which selection I highlighted, the wrong half always was deleted.
Finally got a workaround to work, sent as multitrack proj, then opened a selection in audio editor, still couldn’t delete non interview parts.
Using the noise reduction process worked well, saved with whatever the default was, and went back to fcp. Fixed audio was then on the timeline.
Questions:
1. Why didn’t the subclip just go to STP instead of the whole tape?
2. Why did only 1/2 to 2/3 of the waveform draw in stp? I have a quad core with 4.5 g ram, can’t be memory, can it?
3. What was I doing wrong in deleting non-interview parts of the clip in stp?
4. Once back in fcp, how do I bring my timeline into the viewer to sub-clip the corrected interview subclip ( technically an fcp question, hope someone knows).
5. What should my workflow be in situations like this?
I have RTFM and done the tutorials, but my brain must have been full because so little seems to have stuck, so help much appreciated.
