Apple Cinema Tools 4 - Manual (Page 49)

• If the EDL refers to clips on more than one volume, a Cinema Tools database can connect
to all of the clips. Color can automatically connect to the clips on only one volume, and
you must manually connect to the clips on the other volumes.
Stage 6: Finishing the Project in Color
Once you have imported the EDL into Color and matched it to the source clips, the clips
are conformed to match the edits, and you can proceed with the usual color correction
process. Color is then used to render the final output video.
Digital Intermediate Workflow Using a Telecine
Using a telecine to create the offline video clips to edit with Final Cut Pro requires far less
storage space than using a film scan for all of the film footage. After the edit is finished,
you use Cinema Tools to generate the pull list, which is used to create scans for only the
video clips that are actually used in the program. The drawbacks of this method are that
the original camera negative must be processed twice and the clips from each process
must use the same reel names and timecode.
