Changing the Default Project Settings

Importing an Existing Cinema Tools Database ” on
page 72.
Changing All Reel or Roll Identifiers
There may be times when you want to change all occurrences of a reel or roll identifier
in a database. For example, you might need to change a reel identifier that is not EDL-
compatible to one that is EDL-compatible. Or, you might need to change the reel or roll
identifier in a database to match identifiers that are actually used in an EDL.
Note: If you will be exporting a batch capture list from the database, it’s best to make
the reel or roll identifier changes before exporting the list.
To change all instances of a reel or roll name in a database:
1 Click the Find Button in the Detail View window, then click Find All to make sure that all
of the database records are listed in the List View window.
2 Choose Database > Change Reel.
3 Make the following settings in the Change Reel dialog:
4 Choose the type of roll or reel.
5 In the From field, enter the identifier that you want to change. In the To field, enter the
new identifier.
6 Click OK.
After you click OK, all records displayed in the List View window are searched, and each
time the roll or reel identifier that you want to change is found, it is replaced by the
new identifier.
Choose the type
of reel or roll.
Enter the old and
new identifiers.
