Generating Film Lists and Change Lists

Settings in the Change List Dialog

The Change List dialog that you access from within Final Cut Pro contains the same
settings as the Film Lists dialog (described in “

Settings in the Film Lists Dialog

” on

page 146), with the following exceptions and additions, described below.

 Transitions: The only choice for handling transitions when you export a change list is

“All are cuts,” in which transitions are represented by a cut in the middle of the
transition, regardless of whether or not the transitions are of standard length.
Cinema Tools inserts notes in the cut list (exported with the change list) 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.

 Change List Options: The following options are available for change lists:

 Include Pull list: Select to include a change pull list, which lists any film that needs

to be newly added to the workprint.

 Include a Discard list: Select to include a discard list, which lists only clips that need

to be removed from the workprint.

 Show only changes: If selected, the change list displays entries for new edits only.

Unchanged footage is not listed. (However, if the Cut list checkbox is selected, a
cut list is included in the change list file and it lists all the footage in the sequence,
including the unchanged footage.)

 Combine deletions: If selected, footage deletions that are contiguous are listed as

one deletion rather than individual deletions. This instructs the film assistant to cut
them as a lift, a series of pieces removed as one piece and stored intact, rather than
as individual pieces. Film assistants tend to prefer seeing and performing the series
as one deletion because it saves time and effort.
