214 Appendix B How Cinema Tools Creates Film Lists
Cinema Tools always uses the clip-based location method when it can. If it doesn’t find
a matching clip, it uses the timecode-based location method. If Cinema Tools cannot
find a suitable database record with either method, the key number and film roll
appear in the film list as “<missing >,” and an entry is logged in the missing elements
list (if you chose to include a missing elements list in the film list). This process is
outlined in the flow chart below.
