FCP —> Peak – opens entire captured clip?
Using Peak as external editor to fix some audio. When I “open in editor” I get the entire captured clip rather than the short piece of the clip as it exists in my timeline. Is this normal and if so how does one work with it like this? And then how do I go back to FCP and not have made changes to entire captured clips?

Hmmm….just like Soundtrack Pro. So, here’s yet another case for individually batch capturing your clips rather than capturing tape rolls.
If you can’t log and batch capture your clips, you might try exporting the section you want to adjust in Peak in QT, then reimport and do a Replace Edit.

This was log and captured. But still, what was captured is inevitably longer than the instance of it used in the edited sequence. Say I captured a 5 minute take, then during editing I use a 20 sec. piece of audio. When I open in editor and Peak launches, the clip that opens is the original 5 minute take, rather than the 20 sec. piece used in the sequence that I control clicked on. Unless that isn’t the normal behavior I guess the only thing to do is export the clip at .aif and work with it in Peak and bring it back like you said. That’s a very sloooooow way to work though. Kind of makes the “open in editor” function useless.
Does someone else using Peak have the same experience?
