About Exporting Change Lists
You can export change lists from either Final Cut Pro or Cinema Tools. This section
describes the differences between the two methods. See
and
Exporting Change Lists from Within Cinema Tools
for details about the
change list export process.
This section also describes the differences between using Final Cut Pro XML files and
Cinema Tools program files when exporting change lists.
Exporting from Final Cut Pro
When you export a change list from Final Cut Pro, the following rules apply:
• In addition to the change list–specific change pull list and discard list, you have the
option to include all of the standard film lists such as a cut list, a duplicate list, and so
on.
• The change list’s frame rate is determined by the Telecine Speed setting in the Export
Change List dialog. If you choose a Cinema Tools program file to represent the original
edit, the program file must be based on the same telecine speed. This means that you
can only export a change list from Final Cut Pro that uses a frame rate supported by a
Cinema Tools database (24 fps, 25 fps, or 30 fps). However, you can export a change
list from Cinema Tools that is based on nonsupported frame rates such as 50 fps or
59.94 fps.
• You must select a Cinema Tools database. If you are not concerned about film-based
settings such as key numbers or camera rolls, you can select any database, or even
create an empty database in Cinema Tools to be used for this purpose.
