Final Cut Pro and Sountrack
I just cut a video that is only about one minute. I did all of the editing in FCP, and then I sent the audio to Soundtrack for all of the audio work. I have the commercial now looking almost just how I want it, however, I need to change a few minor things. Is there a way to send the entire soundtrack pro project back to FCP so that I have all of the audio tracks seperately on my FCP timeline? I know I won’t be able to use Soundtracks audio effects at that point, but it will be much easier to make the small changes I need if this is a possibility. Anybody know?

are the adjustments to the audio? or audio and video?
If its just audio, bring in a low res render of your video track in to Soundtrack and change the audio…

I have some minor changes that need to made to the video also. I just need to move around a few of the clips. I tried doing what you suggested, but I couldn’t get the audio that has already been modified to line back exactly with the video that goes along with it.
I’m guessing it’s not possible to send all of the tracks back to FCP in multi-track fashion?

I don’t know about that I have never done it, not to say you can’t, did you try in Final Cut seeing if you can send the video track out to soundtrack… using the automated integration?

Brian,
I can think of two ways to do what you’re after, but I’m not sure either are THE way to go about it.
1) Select all of our tracks in soundtrack (hold down comand and click on them). File > Export > Export selected tracks
Put these in a folder somewhere, then import that folder into FCP and drop them into your timeline. This will get you back into FCP with the ability to scoot your audio around a bit and tighten it up as you like.2) Make your your video edits, and lock picture the way you want. Use FCPs scoring markers (scoring marker button in the edit marker window) to put in markers at useful points in your sequence… where you want a VO to start, or a new bit of music to come in, or some SFX, etc. File > Export > For Soundtrack Make a reference movie, (you may want video only) then drag it from the file browser in Soundtrack to the video window. Your scoring markers will come along to show you the way. Worked in my quick 1 minute test at least.
Hope that gives you somewhere to go,

Those are both good ideas. I’ll give them a try.
