Any software to easily create separate audio tracks for scenes from animatic?

Post by slowtiger »

I know the olden days of track reading, but have a feeling that although everything today is digital now the amount of time spent for tedious tasks has not shrunken much.

I have an animatic, nicely done with sound (final or temp dialogue). Now I want to create separate sound files for each scene to give them out to the animators. I use Final Cut X for editing, and it is horribly malequipped for this task. For each scene, I must:
- select the scene (video)
- select file > share (by mouse!)
- set "audio only" (only once)
- give it a name.
The second step is the most annoying. There's no shortcut available for this operation. If you do this for more than adozen times you want to burn it all down.

Which software do you use for this task? Do you know of any specialized solution (which needs to work on mac)? Could maybe something be done by reading the EDL?
