I want to do the opposite, however, which is applying a filter across the entire audio clip in SP after the clip has been edited in FCP. I didg a ten min clip, edit the clip in FCP, now I want to audio process the entire 10 min clip in SP and have it apply across my fcp edits, but all I can do is process each individual clip at a time.

How to you input the series of pictures.by James Hecht - Motion Is anyone moderating this forum - 17 years agoYou can send an audio clip from FCP to STP as an audio file project along with the video, and apply processing effects, noise reduction, and filters. You can see your audio file as a wave form with a large Decibels meter. Under the View drop down Menu go to sample ruler units, and select Decibels. If you take the time to learn this program, you will have better audio.by James Hecht - Soundtrack Pro Audio levels and processing for broadcast - 17 years agoI have to deliver video programming for a cable show that is broadcast from mpeg files.
