Displaying Film Information in Final Cut Pro You can display a variety of film-related information while editing the film's clips in Final Cut Pro. There are four areas you can control: • Item Properties window: The Film tab of the Item Properties window lists the film-related information for a clip. See Showing Film-Related Information in Item Properties for details. • Browser: You can add columns that show film-related information such as key numbers and telecine film speed (TK Speed). This information also appears in the Item Properties window. See Showing Film-Related Information in the Browser for details. • Viewer and Canvas: You can choose to include the keycode and ink numbers with the timecode values in the overlay. See Showing Film-Related Overlays in the Viewer and Canvas for more information. • Timeline, Viewer, and Canvas: You can choose to show the frame count in a "feet and frames" mode. See Showing Film-Based Frame Counts for more information. To show film-related information in Final Cut Pro, you must first import the information from Cinema Tools. There are three ways to do this: • When you import an XML batch capture list exported from Cinema Tools, the film-related information is also imported. See Using XML Batch Capture Lists for more information. • Use Final Cut Pro to import a telecine log file. This adds any film-related information contained in the log file to the offline clips. See Importing Telecine Logs Using Final Cut Pro for more information. • Use the Synchronize with Cinema Tools command, described in the next section, Synchronizing Final Cut Pro Clips with Cinema Tools. Important: You do not need to import or show film-related information in Final Cut Pro to export film lists. Synchronizing Final Cut Pro Clips with Cinema Tools You cannot manually update a clip's film information in Final Cut Pro-the information must be imported from a Cinema Tools database. Final Cut Pro includes the ability to synchronize one or more selected clips with a Cinema Tools database. This is especially useful when you have imported a telecine log and captured the clips: synchronizing the clips with their database automatically connects the clips to their records. You can also create a new database, which adds the information for each clip to its record. Tip: Creating a new database from a group of clips that are already part of another database allows you to create specialized databases from Final Cut Pro. All of the film-related information that the clips already contain is automatically added to their records in the new database. 146 Chapter 9 Editing with Final Cut Pro
