Songster For Mac

If you work with nonlinear video editors such as Final Cut Pro 7 or Avid Media Composer and you need to import multiple audio files and preserve their metadata, then Songster is the application you need.

Songster is a practical and very useful application specially designed to help you import audio files in Avid Media Composer or Final Cut Pro 7 in just a couple of minutes.

To start using Songster, you just have to drag and drop the desired audio files onto Songster’s drop zone in main window, discreet drop target window, status bar icon or Dock icon.

From Songster’s main window you can choose the target application, set the desired clip name and even add a custom column along with its content.

After dropping your sound files, Songster automatically generates an ALE AvidLog Exchange file that embodies all metadata. Once the ALE file is saved to your Mac’s disk, you can import it into Avid bin and batch-import the media.

Importing your audio files in Final Cut Pro 7 is even easier. You just have to drag your music, sound effects or folders containing the sound files from Finder onto Songster’s drop zone and let the application do the hard work for you. You can choose the clip name along with up to 4 master comments, add a custom note and label, and adjust the preset volume.

Moreover, you can adjust the frame rate, set the destination bin name and choose an output folder for the exported XML files. On top of that, Songster can send the XML information directly to Final Cut Pro, fact that can help you save precious time.

It is also worth mentioning that Songster is compatible with Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 up to 7.x and does not provide support for Final Cut Pro X.
