    I’m just getting my feet wet with Soundtrack Pro. I have a 20 minute clip, of which I want to send only a 2 minute segment over to Soundtrack for some processing. I have tried setting in and out points to define the segment, as well as razor blading it, but when it opens in the Waveform Editor, the whole 20 minute clip is there. Is it possible to export only a section of a clip?

    This is a guess, but razor blade your in & out, export a self contained aiff (‘export audio to aiff’ menu option) and open up that exported clip up in. Then import that clip back into FCP when you are done processing. If you want to make further changes, control click the clip & select the open in editor option (provided that stp is chosen as your audio editor in the preferences). Far from ideal, but I think this will work.

    Hope this helps.

    That’s exactly what I wound up doing. Jusy wondering if there was a more elegant way.

    Over at the sondtrack forum, this has been a documented problem. If you digitize your clips in one big chunk, stp will only allow you to work on the the whole chunk, np pieces. If you learn of a different way to do it, please post back as I will do the same.

    Round tripping from FCP 5 to STP is broken! Watch out for corrutption of your video clips if STP crashes. The only way I have found to bring the specific audio into STP or any other Audio program is selecting in/out of your clip, saving it as a quick time or audio file, then importing the media to STP, clean it up, then take it back to FCP and drop on another aduio line.

    Hopefully Apple will break out another release and fix these issues.

    Thanks Andy & Jeremy. I didn’t know there was a Soundtrack forum. I’ll keep an eye on it.
