226 Glossary
optical list A film list Cinema Tools users can export for the optical house to use in
printing effects for film. The optical list describes transition and motion effects that you
created in your digital edit.
optical printer Rephotographs one or more film elements onto a new section of film.
An optical printer can add or delete light from an image, create superimposed effects,
or make scene transitions such as wipes, fades, and dissolves.
opticals Effects produced by an optical printer, including transitions and
superimposed titles. See also optical printer.
original camera negative Also known as OCN. The negatives from the film shoot; the
original source film. The original camera negative is what the negative cutter cuts after
all the edits have been finalized in the digital editing system. There is only one original
camera negative. (Duplicate negatives can be made, but they are expensive.)
PAL Acronym for Phase Alternating Line. A video format used by many European
countries and other countries outside North America. The PAL standard is 25 fps, 625
lines per frame, and interlaced.
progressive video A video frame format that progressively scans all lines in a frame.
See also interlaced video.
pull list A film list Cinema Tools users can export, in which cut list shots are listed in
the order that they can be found on the negative rolls. The lab refers to a pull list when
going through your negative rolls to pull shots for a workprint or original camera
negative cut.
release print A positive print of a finished movie; the final product for distribution.
reverse telecine The process that removes the extra frames from 3:2 pull-down video,
returning it to its original 24 fps frame rate. Reverse telecine creates a one-to-one
relationship between the video and film frames so that the cut lists are accurate.
Reversing the 3:2 pull-down can be accomplished with hardware in real time during
capture, but if you do not have the proper equipment, you can use the Cinema Tools
Reverse Telecine feature. See 3:2 pull-down.
scene In filming, a time and place setting for a series of one or more shots, typically
tied together by a common story line or certain characters.
scene list A film list Cinema Tools users can export, which lists all the shots that are in
the cut list with each shot listed only once. Scene lists are typically used to order prints
of the shots in a program so that a workprint can be conformed prior to cutting the
original camera negative.
SD video See standard definition video.
