Chapter 8 Generating Film Lists and Change Lists 155
5 If you selected “Save a Cinema Tools program file,” enter a filename and location for it
in the dialog that appears.
Give the program file a name that clearly identifies the sequence and the version for
you, so that you can easily locate it later if you need to export another change list.
6 In the next dialog that appears, select the Cinema Tools database associated with the
clips in the sequences you are comparing. (Make sure you select the same database
that was used when the previous list was exported.)
A change list file is generated, which contains all the lists you selected in the Change
List dialog.

Tip: If the text in the change list wraps in a way that is difficult to read, drag to expand
the window horizontally.
If You Need to Reel Balance
In reel balancing, heads and tails of reels are reapportioned to make sure the length
of each reel is in the right range.
If you want to do any reel balancing in Final Cut Pro, perform the reel balancing edits
separately from any other changes. For instance, to move a scene from the head of
one reel to the tail of another, first conform the two reels to the change lists exported
from their associated sequences. Then, in Final Cut Pro, cut the scene from the head
of the sequence for reel 1 and paste it at the tail of the sequence for reel 2. Finally,
export new change and cuts lists for both sequences and then use those lists as a
guide for balancing the two reels. Note that shots deleted from one reel should be
exactly the same length as the shots added to the other reel.
