Important:

Because of the frame rate changes involved in motion effects, key numbers

that are reported in the motion effects list are not guaranteed to be accurate. If you have
a window burn of the key numbers, you should check to make sure that the key numbers
in the motion effects list are accurate and correct them when necessary.

Pull List

The pull list is the same as the cut list, except that the shots appear in the order in which
they can be found on the negative rolls. The lab can refer to the pull list when going
through your negative rolls to find the shots that will be cut into the film. Each item in
the pull list displays the shot number from the cut list.

Scene List

The scene list lists all of the shots that are used in the cut list, with each shot listed only
once. You can use the scene list to order prints of the shots in your program so that you
can conform a workprint before the negative is cut.

Optical Scene List

If you select “Optical list” and “Scene list” in the Export Film Lists dialog, an optical scene
list is generated along with the scene list. The optical scene list is a list of all the shots
used in all the opticals and motion effects, with each shot listed only once. The lab can
use this list to pull the footage needed to make the opticals.

Exporting Film Lists Using Final Cut Pro

In most situations you will use Final Cut Pro to export any of the lists described in the
previous sections. As long as you have an EDL or XML file based on a Final Cut Pro
sequence, you can also export film lists directly from Cinema Tools. See

Creating EDL-Based

and XML-Based Film Lists

for more information.

In either case, one film list file is generated, and that file contains all the lists you selected
in the export dialog.

Exporting the Film Lists

Exporting film list files works similarly for PDF-format, XML-format, and style sheet–based
film lists.

To export a film list file

1

In the Final Cut Pro Browser or Timeline, select the sequence for which you want to create
a list.

2

Choose File > Export > Cinema Tools Film Lists.

A dialog appears so you can choose the format of the list.

3

Choose the format of the list from the List Format pop-up menu.
