• Combine deletions: If this option is selected, footage deletions that are contiguous are listed as one deletion rather than individual deletions. This instructs the film assistant to cut them as a lift, a series of pieces removed as one piece and stored intact, rather than as individual pieces. Film assistants tend to prefer seeing and performing the series as one deletion because it saves time and effort. About the PDF Items and Change Lists Unlike cut lists, for the most part change lists cannot be customized. Change lists provide specific information and must have the columns to support that information. However, the items you drag to the right column in the Export Change List dialog can affect the type of data that appears in those columns. You need to add one item from each of these four categories: • Time measurement: "Feet & frames," Time, or Count • Name identifier: "Scene & take" or "Clip name" • Roll number: "Camera roll," "Lab roll," or "Daily roll" • Edge code: "Key numbers" or "Ink numbers" Important: If you add multiple items of one type (for example, if you add both "Key numbers" and "Ink numbers" to the right column in the Export Change List dialog), the one that appears first in the right column is used by the change list. If you choose to include a cut list with your change list, you can add additional items to the right column and arrange them in the order in which they should appear in the cut list. Note: Although XML output contains all change list information, the style sheet you choose for the Style Sheet output format determines which information appears in the output. If you use the supplied Plain Text style sheet, the information included in the output depends on how the last PDF-format style sheet was output. In other words, what you choose for the above four categories when you output a PDF-format change list also affects the Style Sheet output when you choose the Plain Text style sheet. Exporting Change Lists from Within Cinema Tools If the most recent version of a sequence is not available or conveniently accessible, or if it is damaged, you can still create a change list as long as you have the exported program (.pgm) files or XML (.xml) files for the two sequences you need to compare. You can export the change list from Cinema Tools using the program or XML files instead of exporting the change list from Final Cut Pro (where you need to select a sequence). 186 Chapter 10 Generating Film Lists and Change Lists
