To send a Motion project’s audio to Soundtrack Pro:
1 Click the Audio tab in the Motion Project pane.
2 Select the audio track to send to Soundtrack Pro.
3 Choose Edit > Send Audio to Soundtrack.
4 Enter a filename, choose a destination, and click “Save as Soundtrack Audio.”
This creates a Soundtrack Pro audio project, with the file extension “.stap,” that
automatically opens in the Soundtrack Pro Waveform Editor with the Motion video, so
that you can apply actions and paste in sound effects as needed.
Once you have completed the audio, you only need to save the audio project in
Soundtrack Pro—when you return to Motion, the audio automatically updates to include
the changes. This is a nondestructive process (the original audio file is not changed).
Exporting AIFF Audio From Soundtrack Pro
You can choose to export a mix of all unmuted tracks in a project or to export
individual stereo tracks.
To export a mix from a Soundtrack Pro multitrack project:
1 Configure the tracks and Mixer. This includes muting any tracks you do not want to export.
2 Choose File > Export > Export Mix.
A dialog appears with settings for the exported audio file.
3 Configure the export settings.
For use on a DVD, choose either the 16-bit or 24-bit audio bit depth setting, and choose
a 48 kHz sample rate.
4 Click Export.
To export a single Soundtrack Pro track:
1 Select the track to export.
2 Choose File > Export > Export Selected Track.
