Part II

Project Interchange

When you select film lists in the Settings section of the Export Change List dialog, the
change list file will include (in addition to the selected change list options) the same
content you would get if you were exporting those lists from the Export Film Lists or
Export XML Film Lists dialog.

Note: Keep in mind that the following settings should be the same for the two
sequences you are comparing: Film Standard, Telecine Speed, and “Start with 8 seconds
of leader.” Key numbers or Ink numbers (but not both) must also be moved to the
Included Columns area of the Data Columns section. The two sequences must also
have the same editing timebase (set in Final Cut Pro).

4

In the dialog that appears, enter a filename and choose a location.

5

Click Choose Database to choose the database associated with the clips in the
sequences you are comparing. (Make sure you select the same database that was used
when the previous list was exported.)

6

Click Save.

7

If you selected “Save a Cinema Tools program file,” enter a filename and location for it
in the dialog that appears, then click Save.

Give the program file a name that clearly identifies the sequence and the version, so
that you can easily locate it later if you need to export another change list.

A change list file is generated, containing all the lists you selected in the Export
Change List dialog.

Exporting an Audio EDL

Cinema Tools can export an audio EDL as long as its database contains accurate sound
information (an audio timecode number that corresponds to the first video frame of
the clip and the audio reel number) in each record. Because of the way audio is
recorded during the production (using dual system recording—a separate audio
recorder that is started and stopped independently of the camera), the Cinema Tools
Export Audio EDL function is available only when the project database has a record for
each take (as with scene-and-take transfers).
