To send a group of clips or a sequence to the Multitrack Editor:

from the shortcut menu.
A dialog appears with several settings.

once it is saved.
4 Select Include Background Video to include the sequence’s background video with
the project.
5 Enter a project name or use the default name, then click Save.
This saves a Soundtrack Pro multitrack project file with the file extension “.stmp”.

must be available when this file opens in Soundtrack Pro.
If you selected Open in Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Editor, the selection opens in the
Soundtrack Pro Timeline.
6 Modify the audio as needed.
7 Choose File > Save to save the project with the changes.
Next, you export the audio clip you will use in your Final Cut Pro project.
8 Choose File > Export > Export Mix.
9 Enter a name and click Export.
This exports an audio file you can now import into your Final Cut Pro project to use in
place of the audio in the selected clips or sequence. An audio file exported from a
Soundtrack Pro multitrack project refers back to the project file from which it was
exported. This is useful if you need to make any changes to the audio file later.
To make changes to the audio file from Final Cut Pro:
1 Control-click the audio file, then choose Open in Editor from the shortcut menu.
A dialog appears allowing you to choose whether to open the audio file as a regular audio
file or open the Soundtrack Pro multitrack project from which this audio file was exported.
Note: The Audio Files setting in the External Editors tab of the Final Cut Pro System
Settings window determines which application opens when you use the Open in Editor
command. Make sure this is set to Soundtrack Pro for the previous steps.
2 Choose Open Project.
This opens the original Soundtrack Pro project.
