Soundtrack
Soundtrack makes it easy to create original audio for use in your Final Cut Pro HD and 
DVD Studio Pro projects. 
Using Soundtrack With Final Cut Pro HD
Soundtrack allows you to create music with thousands of royalty-free music loops that 
can be combined together in an unlimited variety of mixes and tempos. If you can’t 
find the exact instrument or sound you are looking for, you can easily invest in third-
party loops or even create your own. Soundtrack also imports special scoring markers 
created by Final Cut Pro HD so you can create music that lines up exactly with your 
movie. If you change your picture edit, Soundtrack can readily alter the music tempo or 
number of loops so that image and sound stay in perfect sync and the mood is 
maintained.
Historically, music composers do the majority of scoring and recording after the 
picture is completely finished, or locked. Soundtrack provides new opportunities for 
music composers and movie editors to work together in parallel, even if the picture 
isn’t yet locked. Composers can begin composing elements while a movie is still 
being edited, creating custom loops in the audio software of their choice and the 
Soundtrack Loop Utility. The movie editor can set scoring markers in Final Cut Pro HD 
and adjust tempo, key, and orchestration in Soundtrack. Once the picture is locked, 
the composer can do a final music mix in Soundtrack or bring it into Logic Pro for 
even more options.
Exporting Sequences or Clips From Final Cut Pro HD to Soundtrack
Being able to see the correlating video while configuring the audio in Soundtrack 
makes it much easier to ensure you get the desired results. For that reason, 
Final Cut Pro HD includes a Soundtrack export setting you can use to export a 
sequence or clip for use in Soundtrack.
