    Posted by Rob Henry on August 19, 2008 at 8:26 am

    Hey,
    I’m having problems getting my audio files into STP, i’ve edited a DV PAL project and just need to make a few final adjustments to the audio on a few clips but everytime i try and send to STP i hit a hurdle… it asks me to save it no worries but then gives me the message ‘cant open the render.mov file’
    i have tried opening the file (which has been saved as a .STAP) straight from STP but again it wont allow me to open that file – just says cannot open the ‘details the folder direction to the file; finalcutprojects/hugtt/hugttaudioclip1.
    Am i doing something wrong, why wont it open my final cut pro audio files??
    Hope you can help…

    Export your .mov as “Only audio” or as .aiff. Make sure that your setting are 16b/48Khz.
    Both (PCM) should work directly in the STP time-line

    Thanks Rafael,
    I tried to export the clip as an aiff file but it exported the entire audio track. I’m finding the only way to specify the audio clip i’m after is to right click and ‘send to STP’ – i uncheck the metadata box but their doesnt seem to be any other options… is there somewhere else you can set the exporting specifications?
    Sorry i’m quite new to this
    Thanks,
    Ro beE

    I don’t really unerstand which audio you want to send to STP.
    If is the audio of any .mov,
    just open it in QT and export as .aiff.
    You may be having problems because her are audio files not yet rendered, Delete all your audio renders and make a Render All. .

    I just want to send an audio clip from a FCP project which has been edited down; so i want to send say 3 out of the first 10 different audio clips to STP for adjustments but it wont allow and when i try and export them using FCP it exports the entire file of un-edited audio from the project.

    So if i’m to delete all the audio files and re-render, do you mean i delete them from a specific folder or the master from the browser??
    Little confused…

    Thanks for your help

    I guess you are exporting directly from FC as AIFF. Then you are getting an AIFF for each of your audio tracks.
    If you want to export the mix, you need to do it with QT Conversion nd choose AIFF in the options.

    You must have an Audio Render folder in your FC Documents folder. By default in Home> Documents.
    Delete the render files and render again.
