Ripping single “cut” from CD

[Tom Wolsky]

It should be AIFF 48K. You can import the track from the disc to FCP and then export it to rip it. You can use the QuickTime Pro player to convert it. You can use Compressor to convert it and/or make a droplet for batch conversion. Or many people use iTunes. Lots of options. Different strokes and different techniques for different needs. For a single track I usually just use the QT pro player.

All the best,

Tom

Thanks for the info.

I will try iTunes to see what happens. Hopefully somewhere in the transferring to FCP it will be made “usable” in FCP.

I am interested in the message at the bottom of your page. I will be teaching FCP and would like to buy DVDs that play on regular DVD players to be able to introduce FCP to the students.

Is that what the message at the bottom of your e-mail indicates? Do you sell such a DVD?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Alternatively, you can just drag the tracks from the CD in the finder window, then drop them on a folder on your hard drive/wherever you’re editing. I will often use the iTunes interface to preview tracks, then drag my selects over on the finder level. If you need to convert stuff that isn’t already an AIFF/WAV, then involve iTunes.
