Generating Film Lists and Change Lists

6

In the dialog that appears, select the database file that Cinema Tools should use to
produce the lists that you have selected. (Select the database you created for source
media used in this sequence.)

A film list is generated as a file that contains all of the lists you have selected. If
Cinema Tools is unable to complete any list, messages appear in the file that indicate
the problem and guide you to a solution. See also “

Tip: If the text in the film list wraps in a way that is difficult to read, drag to expand the
window horizontally.

After exporting a film list, you should compare the edge code (key numbers or ink
numbers) in the film list to the edge code in the window burn at the In point frame of
each edit. While it can be time consuming to go through all of the edits and compare

It’s particularly important to check the edge code numbers if you are not conforming a
workprint before cutting your negative.
