138 Chapter 8 Generating Film Lists and Change Lists
Lists You Can Create With the Film Lists Dialog
You can export a number of useful lists by using the Film Lists dialog. When you export
a film list, one film list file is generated, and that file contains all the lists you selected in
the Film Lists dialog. Any lists that you did not specifically select will not be included in
the exported film list file.
Cut List
The first list you can select to export is the cut list. The cut list you export from
Final Cut Pro is the list that contains the instructions for cutting the original camera
negative or workprint to match the digitally edited program. Cut lists are also known as
assemble lists.
If there are any titles (including any “supers”–superimposed images or frames) in your
sequence, you actually get two different types of cut lists when you export a cut list:
 The first list contains the basic edits for cutting the film—the edits on video track 1. It
is called the cut list, and it looks like the cut list shown above.
 The other list is called the foreground layer. This list records any titles and supers that
appear on video track 2. It’s called the foreground layer because it overlays the first
video track. (It does not contain any transition information, however. It shows only
where the titles and supers occur.)
See “ Using Effects and Transitions ” on page 128 for more information.
Note: A cut list is produced even if some elements are missing. When there is a picture
element for which there is no corresponding information in the database, “”
appears in the fields for the film roll and edge code information in the cut list.
