Solutions to Common Problems

No film list is produced.
 When you export a film list from Final Cut Pro, Cinema Tools opens it if isn’t already

open. If you selected the option in the Film Lists dialog to open the film list in a text
editor, the text editing application must also open in order for you to view the film
list. If you don’t see the film list, it may be that Cinema Tools or the text editor failed
to open. The most likely reason for this is insufficient memory. Make sure that an
adequate amount of random-access memory (RAM) is installed in your computer.

 If Cinema Tools opens, but the text editor doesn’t, perform a search for the film list

file by searching for the name you entered in the Film Lists dialog. If the file exists,
you should be able to open it in a text editing application.
