Audio- Changing .mp3 to .aiff


Changing an .mp3 into an .aiff file:

1) Make sure the .mp3 file is in your folder called "Music", which is inside your project folder in your hard drive.

2) In Final Cut Pro- click Import - Files - click on your .mp3 file

3) Select the .mp3 file in your Browser window in Final Cut, hold down the control button on the keyboard and click on the .mp3-- a drop down window appears.






4) You can name it something, and save it to your music folder in your hard drive. If you can't select that folder, than save it to your Desktop and drag it into that folder.

5) Before you click save on that window, first click the format button and select AIFF from the drop down menu!






6) Now click save. 

7) In Final Cut, import the converted music file, the .aif file. 

You can delete the .mp3 version now, and use the .aif file to edit.
