Render audio to engrain effects
Hello again, working on another FCPX cut and have question. Looking to render audio effects and channel assignments inside FCPX. Kind of like how protools has render option. Need that in FCPX, anyway to do this?
Also I need the clips to be separate. I’m bringing dialogue group into protools to create a track, I’d like to keep channel assignments and logic plugs inside protools to do additional work.

James,
There’s no way to render using audio plugins in X the way Audio Suite plugins do it in Pro Tools. You probably know the effect is applied in RT – however you’ll need to export the audio in order to “render” it.

If you want to export your X clips separately – you’ll need to use Roles and export accordingly.

Okay thanks, should be able to work around it pretty easily. Cheers

X2Pro allows a clip based based AAF to ProTools.
Roles convert to tracks, and you can add handles to each of your clips.
Yes, it costs money.

Hey jeremy. Yea I have it but it wont render the effects in. It does carry clips over though
-
I see.
Are you running the ProTools session too?
-
How do you mean, when I create the AFF? No.

Just wondering why you’d want to bake the effects when you’re going to the audio finish.

I’m losing logic plugs when I transfer so I don’t want to redo all of that. Also it’s a surround sound project so I’d like to engrain the channel assignments

I’ve never seen editable logic plugins transfer to ProTools, but I am not a ProTools expert.
As far as channel assignments, roles turn to tracks in ProTools.
If you keep Roles organized, you’ll be able to quickly map channels in ProTools.
If you are finishing in ProTools, it may be best to wait to do the heavy lifting there. This way, you aren’t wasting time in fcpx for things you can do as well and better in ProTools.
