    I use the “Send To–Soundtrack Pro Multi track” feature of Final Cut all the time for my movies, yet suddenly the feature is grayed out. I thought maybe it had something to do with my preferences, so I trashed them, but it didn

    Try selecting all of the clips in the segment you want to send.

    I tried that…I even tried selecting just a sound bite or just video or selecting the whole project and none of the “Send To’s” would work, they are all grey, I am quite puzzled by the situation.

    Thank you very much for your help though.

    Hmmm,

    Try trashing SP’s prefs too, if that doesn’t work, make a new project, just put in a clip or two that you know are good media, and try that. If it works, then there’s something wrong with your other project or something in it. If that’s the case, make a new project and copy/paste everything from the old project’s browser and timeline. If that still doesn’t work, throw away and restore each clip until you fine the bad one.

    Don’t know any other solutions, but this process has worked for me in a few odd cases.

    Sounds like your “launch services data base” is corrupt? Do you have
    multiple icons in the open with menu? For example 3-4 icons for FCP or
    Photoshop.

    Do you have access to Cocktail OSX ? No, not the alcoholic type 🙂
    It has a rebuild feature built right into the GUI.

    Here is the command line process:
