Dupe List and Double Usage Warnings
When editing digitally, it’s easy to include a clip or part of a clip more than once in the
edited program. When this happens, you either have to create a duplicate negative or
reedit the program to remove the duplicate (dupe) usages, because the footage exists
only once on the original camera negative. But first, you have to know where the
duplicate usages are, and that is the purpose of the dupe list and double usage warnings.
Dupe List
The dupe list is what you give to your lab if you want them to pull specific shots from
your negative rolls and make duplicate negatives for you. It documents every shot for
which there is one or more duplicate usages.
Note: Content that is part of an optical is not counted as a duplicate usage. However, if
a dissolve transition is placed between two clips that have no other source footage
available between them (such as two clips that were originally one clip), it results in a
duplicate usage.
Double Usage Warnings
If you choose Warn from the Duplicates pop-up menu in the Film Lists dialog, a
warning message appears where duplicate usages occur in the cut list. The message
tells you exactly which frames have been used more than once, and exactly where in
your editing project they are used. All of these messages also appear in a double
usage warning list.
