Using Post-Export Actions
The Export dialog includes post-export actions that can automate parts of your workflow
and save you time and effort. The post-export actions range from opening the exported
files in a Final Cut Pro sequence to bouncing mixes to new tracks. You can also use the
feature to automatically trigger your own AppleScript documents as a part of any export
operation. Soundtrack Pro comes with a set of default actions (see General Export Options).
You can save a series of actions in the File Editor as an AppleScript droplet. Those droplets
will appear as actions in the After Export pop-up menu (provided you save them to the
default location: /Users/username/Library/Scripts/Soundtrack Pro Scripts/). For more
information about creating your own AppleScript droplets in Soundtrack Pro, see Scripting
Actions in the File Editor Project View.
You can also add your own AppleScript scripts (that you create outside of Soundtrack Pro)
to this default location, and they will appear in the After Export pop-up menu. Such
custom actions could include an AppleScript script to send an email notification or to
automatically transfer the exported file to a web server.
Custom actions
appear here.
