    Sorry to post in a separate thread — I forgot my third question.

    What’s the best way to use the sound effects that come with Apple’s Garageband software (it’s part of the iLife suite) in my Final Cut Pro software?

    You can import them directly into your project. The path is…

    Library > Audio > Apple Loops > Apple > Apple Loops for Garage Band

    The Garage Band loops are 44.1 KHz. FCP prefers 48 KHz. It is best if you convert them to 48 KHz in another application. I use iTunes for this, but there are many ways to do this. Store these converted files some where else convenient and import these instead.

    If you choose not to convert with another program, you may have to render these files in your time line. The results might be disappointing.
