Stages 3 through 6 are repeated until it is decided that the picture is locked. Finally, the
original camera negative is cut to match the final workprint and cut list.
When Are Change Lists Used in Other Workflows?
Change lists can be used in a variety of other workflows, including those that do not
involve film at all. These include digital intermediate, sound conforming, and closed
caption workflows—any workflow where you need to know what has changed between
two edited versions of a program.
The key to being able to export a change list is to have available either a Final Cut Pro
XML file or a Cinema Tools program file that represents the previous version of the
sequence. If you export the change list using Final Cut Pro, the file representing the
previous sequence version is compared against the current sequence. If you choose to
export the change list using Cinema Tools, you will need a second Final Cut Pro XML file
or a Cinema Tools program file that represents the current sequence. See
for details to help you choose how to export your change lists.
