Q: FCP 7 - Editing a radio play

One suggestion - if you do use FCP-7, then place a slug of black on the video track that is the duration of the production so that FCP always has a video reference to lock to.

I do full audio mixes when I cut using it...and...I cut my audio only podcasts with FCP 7...not Soundtrack Pro, not Adobe Audition. So yeah, it's fine for this!

Thanks for your replies and tips. And it's great news for me that I can use FCP for this project.
Meg The Dog I totally agree with you on learning something new. Alas, for me it's the time constraints that prevent me from doing this. You know how it is with projects - everyone wants everything yesterday!
What I might do is once the project is over and I have some free time, I will redo the edit on Sountrack Pro.
Thanks again guys.
