Generating Film Lists and Change Lists
147
 Title for this list: Enter a name for the film list file you are going to export.
 Film Standard: Choose the film standard that matches the type of film you are using.
This should be the same as the film standard setting you used when you created the
project database. Cinema Tools uses the film standard that you choose here to
calculate footage counts in the cut list. If any of the database records have a different
film standard, a warning message appears in the cut list.
 Telecine Speed: Select the speed at which the film was transferred.
 If you are working with NTSC video, you would typically choose 24 frames per
second (fps), though the actual speed of the film in the telecine was
approximately 23.98 fps.
 If you edited NTSC video that was transferred at 29.97 fps, choose 30 fps.
 If your film was transferred to video at 24 fps, choose 24 fps.
 If your film was transferred to video at 25 fps, choose 25 fps.
 Duplicates: Choose whether you want to be notified when duplicate usage of source
material is found. If you choose Warn, a warning message appears in the cut list
every time a duplicate usage occurs. 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. If you choose
Ignore, these double usage warnings do not appear.
 Transitions: Choose how transitions should be listed in the film list. See “
” on page 132 for more information. There are three
choices:
 All are cuts: All transitions are represented by a cut in the middle of the transition,
regardless of whether or not the transitions are of standard length. Choose this
option if you are exporting a list for use in conforming a workprint. Cinema Tools
also inserts notes to indicate where the start and end of the transition should be
for both the outgoing and incoming clips. These notes can be used as a guide in
marking the transitions on the conformed workprint.
 Std are cuts: Those transitions that are of standard length are listed as cuts, and
those that are nonstandard length are described as opticals. This is the option that
you choose if you’re going to have your transitions printed on a contact printer. If
you select this option, standard length transitions appear in the cut list, not the
optical list, and are shown as a cut in the middle of the transition. The starting and
ending points of the transition also appear in the cut list as three lines for a
dissolve and two lines for a fade. The cut list contains all of the information that
the negative cutter requires to prepare the A and B rolls for these transitions.
 All are opticals: All clips that are part of a fade or dissolve are listed in the optical
list. Choose this option if you want all of your fades and dissolves to be printed
optically, regardless of their length.
