76 Chapter 4 Creating and Using a Cinema Tools Database
Entering Information in a Database Record
To enter information in a database record:
1 Make sure the record is displayed in the Detail View window. (If necessary, double-click
the record in the List View window to open it in the Detail View window.)
For more information, see “ Finding and Opening Database Records ” on page 91.
2 Enter information and settings in the Detail View window.
“ Settings in the Detail View Window ,” next, describes all the settings, and specifies which
ones are required if you plan to use the database to generate cut list or change lists.
You can press the Tab key to navigate from one field or setting to another.
∏
Tip: When you connect a clip to a database record and the record does not yet contain
the clip timecode, reel, and timecode duration, Cinema Tools looks for this information
in the clip file and automatically enters it in the database record.
If you know the edge code number or timecode for another frame in a clip, the Identify
feature can help you determine the correct timecode or edge code number for the first
frame of a clip. See “
Using the Identify Feature to Enter and Calculate
Database Information ” on page 82.
3 Click Save. Until you save, data in the Detail View window is not entered in the database.
