About Working with Database Information
As described in
Deciding How You Should Create the Database
, there are two basic
approaches to creating your project database:
• You can generate the database by importing a telecine log, ALE file, or Final Cut Pro
batch capture list.
• You can enter information manually or by dragging a folder of clips to the Cinema Tools
application icon.
See
Importing Database Information
for information about the different methods you
can use to import information into your database.
