Export Considerations
and Creating Audio EDLs
Once you’ve edited your project, you may want to export
a videotape, the audio, or an audio EDL based on the
edited project.
Cinema Tools’ primary purpose is to generate an accurate cut list. For most projects,
you may also want to create other helpful items from your edited program:
 a videotape of the program: This may be useful so that you can show the program
to others or provide a visual guide to the negative cutter. There are a number of
considerations to take into account, such as the editing frame rate and any
required specialized hardware. See “
Considerations When Exporting to Videotape ,”
next, for details.
 a file containing the program’s audio: You usually create this file if you want to use the
program’s audio, but finish it using specialized sound software or at an audio
postproduction facility. There are a couple of approaches you can take to do this, and
several issues you must be aware of. See “
Considerations When Exporting Audio ” on
page 160 for details.
 an audio EDL: This is required when you intend to recapture the audio using
specialized equipment, and reedit it using the audio timecode from the edited
program. See “
Exporting an Audio EDL ” on page 161 for details.
Considerations When Exporting to Videotape
You may want to make a videotape of your edited program, either to make it easier to
view the program, or to provide a visual reference for the negative cutter. There are a
few different ways to create a videotape from an edited sequence, and these methods
are explained in the Final Cut Pro documentation. However, if you edited video at
24 fps and you want to create a PAL or NTSC videotape, there are additional
considerations explained here.
