Apple Final Cut Pro 6 - Manual (Page 1658)

Chapter 12 Working with Film and Cinema Tools 175
II
 Effects and transitions in your sequence must be re-created optically or digitally on
film. You can use Final Cut Pro in the creative process to determine and demonstrate
the effects you want, but don’t spend too much time creating elaborate effects
unless you have a separate workflow in place to match these effects on film.
 You need to keep track of duplicate usages of your source material. Because you
have only one original camera negative, you need to either avoid using any of the
material more than once (including allowing for frames, known as cut handles, used
by the splicing process when conforming the negative) or create a duplicate list
(“dupe list”) to give to your lab as part of a duplicate negative order.
See the Cinema Tools User Manual for details about all of these editing issues.
Using Edge Code Overlays and Feet+Frame Rulers
Final Cut Pro can display edge code overlays in the Canvas and Viewer, as well as
Feet+Frame rulers in the Timeline and other timecode fields. You are not required to
use these features to edit film footage in Final Cut Pro, but they can help you feel as
though you were working with film instead of film transferred to video.
