Settings the Export Dialogs Have in Common

The settings available in the export dialogs vary depending on which output format you
choose from the List Format pop-up menu, but all versions have the same basic settings.
The dialog that appears when you choose PDF from the List Format pop-up menu contains
additional formatting settings. See

PDF Configuration Settings in the Export Film Lists

Dialog

for more information about configuring PDF film lists.

The export dialogs have these settings in common:

List Title: Enter a name for the film list file you are going to export.

Film Standard: Choose the film standard that matches the type of film you are using.

This should be the same as the film standard setting you used when you created the
project database. Cinema Tools uses the film standard that you choose here to calculate
footage counts in the cut list.

Telecine Speed: Select the speed at which the film was transferred:

If you are working with NTSC video: You would typically choose 24 fps, though the

actual speed of the film in the telecine was approximately 23.98 fps.

If you edited NTSC video that was transferred at 29.97 fps: Choose 30 fps.

If your film was transferred to video at 24 fps: Choose 24 fps.

If your film was transferred to video at 25 fps: Choose 25 fps.

Duplicates: Choose whether you want to be notified when duplicate usage of source

material is found. If you choose Warn, a warning message appears in the cut list every
time a duplicate usage occurs. The message tells you exactly which frames have been
used more than once and exactly where in your editing project they are used. All of
these messages also appear in a double usage warning list. If you choose Ignore, these
double usage warnings do not appear.
