Creating Change Lists

A change list reports the differences between two versions of a sequence edited in
Final Cut Pro. For film-based projects, the purpose of the change list is to describe the
changes that need to be made to the workprint or negative since it was conformed to a
prior version of the sequence. For DI projects, change lists are used to let other
departments, such as the sound department or closed captioning department, know the
details about changes you have made to the sequence.

When you export a change list, you can also choose to include in the change list file a
change pull list, which lists film rolls in the order in which they need to be pulled to add
any new film to the workprint, and a discard list, which lists any sections that need to be
removed.

When you export a change list file from Final Cut Pro, you can also export a new cut list
(and other standard film lists) for the sequence.

When creating the change list, Cinema Tools uses a variety of methods to match up the
original and new edits to generate the change list. Following is a list of the methods in
order from most reliable to least reliable:

• Each clip’s unique identifier

• The reel number and timecode values

• Keycode (key numbers or ink numbers)

• Clip name
