changes not saved to orig clip
I am sending my FCP clips to STP. I open up STP files in “editor of STP” to normalize. It sounds great there in the mix. WHen I export back to FCP and import into my orig FCP timeline it sounds ok. THen I go back and close the “tabs” in STP my changes are lost even if I choose to save changes when the box asks me. ANy suggestions?????
ps. btw I know this is the FCP forum.

How did you bring it into soundtrack originally?
Your workflow sounds a little messed up if you are trying to roundtrip.

I brought in originally as “send from FCP,” this opened it in STP. And to go back to FCP I exported MIX and then imported that into the FCP timeline.

Quit STP before going back to FCP.

When I’ve closed STP in the past… I’ve lost the changes I had made to the audio clips in the editor of STP. even when I close those tabs. and choose “save”. When I re-imported into FCP.. the changes did not reflect.
Also, I have made my FCP segment for review by the client.. Lets say they wanna moves things around. How do I open the segment back in STP and have the video open as well?

Are you saving you STP files as STP projects or just audio files? If you are saving them as projects, you can go in and change, and then reexport. Dig into your preferences and see how you are saving the files.
It’s not a very elegant round tripping process.

how do I want to save them? What is the most elegant process?

Once you have the multitrack session open, you need to save that as an STP project and then make the changes from there.
The roundtripping sucks between FCP and STP. There’s no real going back except as a flattened mix. It needs to be the final step of your workflow.

oic,,, I had heard that there where some issues between these two. You do a flatten audio instead of just exporting the audio?

I have stopped using STP, for a final mix really, If i need it for noise reduction or EQing or something, I export a self contained file and reimport the self contained mix.

I just export a stereo mix (which is essentially a flat stereo mix with no more than two tracks), it’s really the only way it get’s done for me. I would really really love it if it worked better, though.
