Chapter 8 Generating Film Lists and Change Lists 149
 Cut handles: In determining whether or not any frames have been used more that
once, Cinema Tools assumes that there is at least one half of a frame destroyed at
both the In point and the Out point of each cut. Some negative cutters may want to
use more than a half-frame on each side of a cut. You can specify up to five and one-
half frames of cut handles. If you inadvertently include, in a sequence, frames that are
needed as cut handles, Cinema Tools reports them as duplicate usages in the dupe
list and the double usage warnings.
 Show Scene & take or Clip name: Choose to have the film list show the scene and take
or the clip name for each shot. Showing the scene and take makes it easier to relate
the film list to the Cinema Tools database when the database contains scene and
take information. Showing the clip name makes it easier to relate the film list to the
Final Cut Pro Timeline and the EDL.
 Show Camera Roll, Lab Roll, or Daily Roll: Choose which type of roll to display. This
choice depends on how your film is stored. When the negative (or workprint) cutter
or the lab wants to find a shot, they have to go to a box or roll containing that shot.
You want the film list to have the same roll identifier as the one used by the negative
cutter or lab.
Tips for Entering the “Starting at” Point
If you are generating a cut list for conforming the negative, you typically want to start at
zero, and choose “Feet & frames” from the Show pop-up menu.
If you are editing your film by scene or by reel, you may want to enter a starting point in
the “Starting footage or time” field that is the same as the ending point of the
preceding scene or reel. This field is automatically filled in with the program starting
point you have set in the Final Cut Pro Timeline.
If you want to generate a cut list with timecode so that you can compare events in the list
with edits in Final Cut Pro or in the EDL, start the cut list at the same time as the
Timeline or EDL start time. Then choose Time from the Show pop-up menu in the
Film Lists dialog.
Note: By default, 0000+00 appears as the starting point for Feet & frames, 0000
appears for Count, and the sequence’s starting timecode in the Final Cut Pro Timeline
appears for Time.
