Exporting Audio in Final Cut Pro

Video Transcript

Okay, in order to work in Pro Tools, we need to export our project from Final Cut. Let's take a look at the options that Final Cut gives us. The first thing we're going to do is we're going to export our sequence as a QuickTime movie. What that'll do, it will render all these individual cuts, individual shots that you see here into one QuickTime movie. And that's what we want, that's the only thing we'll be able to work with in Pro Tools. So we'll go over to "File", "Export", and "QuickTime Movie". And what they will do is it will give us the choice of where we're going to put our movie, and what we're going to call it. In this case, we'll just call it "Soda Movie Export". A couple of the options we have here, we want to make sure we make a self contained movie, and we're not going to put any markers in there. We're going to include the audio and the video, and we're going to save it to the current settings of our project. I'm going to go ahead and click "Save". We're going to render a QuickTime movie; this is a short sequence that we use as an example. Some projects can be quite large. This particular project is only about a minute and a half. The next step we need to do is we need to export our audio. Now, instead of exporting individual tracks as single files, with the OMF Export, it allows us to export the media that's contained within the tracks, giving us the ability to import them into Pro Tools and give us the ability to edit them, just the way they laid out in your tracks here in your Final Cut. So, what we're going to do is export the media and the medidata, that's the data that tells the audio where to go. So we're going to go down, export Audio to OMF, and we're going to keep it at 48 kilohertz, that's our professional standard, and our project is also 16 bit. We also have the ability to put Handle Links, that's how much media is going to extend past the end of our cut. So right here on our first cut we have audio that may go beyond this cut, I might need that for sound editing. So let's go ahead and click on "OK", we have a one second cross fade handle. We're going to call it "Soda Movie", and it's going to be our Soda Movie OMF. And click "Save". (We have our computer telling us what time it is). So now I've completed exporting the picture and the audio and I'm ready to import it into Pro Tools.
