how to get FCP scoring markers into STP
How do you get scoring markers from FCP to come into STP? I have tried “send to multi-track project”, Export from File menu with audio scoring markers selected. I must not be doing it right. Please help.

You have to use export for Soundtrack. Make sure the scoring markers are applied to the timeline ruler, not to the clips.

Maybe that is my mistake. How do you apply a scoring marker in the timeline as opposed to applying a scoring marker in a clip?

Click off anything selected in the sequence or press Cmd-Shift-A to deselect all.

You are correct about the markers in the clips then. I could not get FCP to give me the option of putting a scoring marker in the timeline; it was grayed out. So I selected the clip and put the scoring marker in the clip, thinking I was putting it in the timeline.
Next question then: Why would FCP not let me put a scoring marker on the timeline? I have stills from a presentation by Chief Quiet Thunder (native American) and also an audio track of his speech. I used the stills and some stock miniDV footage together in V1 and put the audio aif file in A1 and A2. Originally the audio was mono and awful. I used STP to fix it a bit, then created the aif and brought it into FCP. I was going to try and use the markers from FCP to tell me where to do some audio cuts in STP, but they would not come in, as I mentioned. I was thinking that in STP I would definitely get the cuts on the zero crossing.
When the sequence is complete, I want to export the whole thing using your suggestion, Export for Sound Track. Then I want to import it into Sonic Fire Pro (they suggest the Export for Sound Track for their program) and put some music on it.

Not sure what you mean by FCP won’t let you make a scoring marker. Without knowing exactly what you were doing it’s impossible to say why it failed.
A scoring marking is like any other marker. With nothing selected in the timeline press the M key to add the marker to thee timeline ruler then press M again to open the marker dialog. Click the Scoring button to add the scoring command. Which part of that is not working?

This was an earlier response. If I use Export for Soundtrack, it automatically always goes to an audio file project. Is there a way to get it into a multi-track project with the scoring markers from Final Cut Pro?

Star by quitting the application and then trashing your preferences and repairing permissions.

You may also have something selected in the timeline. Press Cmd-Shift-A to deselect all before you press the M key. Is the marker being added to the timeline ruler?
