command to create the Cinema Tools database: This workflow is most useful when you
don’t know the exact In and Out points for each clip or if you do not have device control.
You can also create the Cinema Tools database by dragging the folder containing the
clips to the Cinema Tools application icon. You can use the Identify feature of
Cinema Tools to determine and enter the key number information for each database
record.

the clips.
