Exporting change lists using final cut pro – Apple Cinema Tools 4 User Manual

• Cinema Tools program files must use a valid telecine speed (24 fps, 25 fps, or 30 fps)
as the frame rate. If you are not working on a film project and are using a frame rate
other than the supported telecine speed frame rates, exporting a Final Cut Pro XML file
retains the sequence’s frame rate. This frame rate is maintained if you export the change
list using Cinema Tools.
Exporting Change Lists Using Final Cut Pro
Exporting a change list is similar to exporting a cut list. Take note of the following before
you start:
• Only one video track is compared: A change list describes the difference between a
selected video track in one sequence and a selected video track in another sequence.
It does not describe any other video or audio tracks.
• Avoid modifying the Cinema Tools database between exporting change lists: When a
database is altered after the previous list was exported, the new change list may not
be reliable. However, if you did alter the database after you exported the previous list,
you can eliminate this risk by exporting a new cut list for the previous sequence and
saving a new program file. Then, use that program file when you export the change
list.
• If you have each reel in a separate sequence in Final Cut Pro, and you want to do some reel
balancing: Perform the reel balancing edits after any other changes. See
for more information.
See
Exporting Change Lists from Within Cinema Tools
for information about exporting
change lists using Cinema Tools. See
how the change list export process differs between Final Cut Pro and Cinema Tools.
