Chapter 2 The Cinema Tools Workflow 41
Step 5: Edit the clips in Final Cut Pro
You edit the clips in Final Cut Pro much as you would any video project, but there are a
few important things to keep in mind. These considerations are described in Chapter 7,
“
Editing ,” on page 127.
Step 6: Generate film lists and change lists with Cinema Tools
Once you have edited your clips and are satisfied with your digitally edited project, you
are ready to use the Cinema Tools Film Lists dialog to generate film-related lists that
describe how to cut the negative or workprint. The cut list provides a list of the edits
and of titling information.
There are a number of other useful lists that can be generated at the same time. One
film list file can contain any of the following:
 missing elements list: A list of any required information that could not be found in the
database
 dupe list: A list of duplicate usages of the same source material
 optical list: A list for the effects printer, describing any transitions and motion effects
 pull list: A list to aid the lab in pulling the negative rolls they need
 scene list: A list of all the scenes used in your program and the shots used in the opticals
You can also export a change list, useful if your production process involves workprint
screenings and modifications. The change list assumes a workprint has been cut to the
specifications of a cut list (or prior change list) and it specifies further changes to make
to the workprint, based on edits you have made to the sequence in Final Cut Pro. See
“
When Are Change Lists Used? ” on page 152 for a flow chart of the workprint and
change list process.
See Chapter 8, “ Generating Film Lists and Change Lists ,” on page 137 for more details
on all the film-related lists that are available.
Cinema Tools Workflow Examples
This section details several Cinema Tools database workflow scenarios. Keep in mind
that there are many variations to these, and you often do not have to follow the steps
exactly in order. It’s also possible to have a situation that uses parts of several
workflows. See “
Basic Workflow Steps ” on page 33 for details on specific steps.
The workflows are divided into two groups—those that use scene-and-take transfers
and those that use camera-roll transfers. These are further divided depending on
whether a telecine log is available and whether device control of your video player is
available during the capture process.
