QuickTip: Using Sound FX




Final Cut Studio comes with an extensive library of sound fx which are installed on the Macs in the workshop.  They come as "Core Audio File" or '.caf' files.  The easiest way to find them is to use the magnifying glass tool in the top right corner of the menu bar and search for the .caf file extension:


Click on "Show All" to browse through all the available sound effects


Double click the effect you want to open it in Soundtrack Pro and select 'Save As' from the file menu to export it as an AIFF file:



Finally copy the new file to your EditShare project folder and import it into Final Cut and you're done!
