Apple Cinema Tools 4 - Manual (Page 47)

• Use a telecine for all of the film, and then scan only the clips that are used: This approach
is a bit more complicated and uses a telecine to provide the offline video for Final Cut Pro
to edit. This approach is detailed in the
Digital Intermediate Workflow Using a Telecine
section.
A typical scan-based DI workflow is outlined below.

Stage 1: Creating Apple ProRes Files for Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro cannot work directly with the DPX image sequences that are typically used
in this workflow. You can use Color to create QuickTime files (usually based on an Apple
ProRes codec) from the DPX image sequences. Using Color ensures that the QuickTime
files have the correct reel number (the folder name that contains the actual DPX files)
and timecode (as embedded in the DPX files).
