If your audio is synced during the telecine transfer and recorded onto the audio tracks of the videotape, the timecode and roll number of the original sound roll is no longer part of the clip, and all edits within Final Cut Pro refer only to the video timecode and reel number. Fortunately, the telecine log created during the transfer usually contains the audio information and adds it to the database when you import the log into Cinema Tools. You can also manually enter the audio information if no telecine log is available. Using Cinema Tools to Export an Audio EDL Cinema Tools can export an audio EDL as long as its database contains accurate audio information (an audio timecode number that corresponds to the first video frame of the clip and the sound roll number) in each record. Because of the way audio is recorded during the production (using dual system recording-a separate sound recorder that is started and stopped independently of the camera), the Cinema Tools Export Audio EDL function is applicable only when the project database has a record for each take (as with scene-and-take transfers). It is critical that the value in the Sound Timecode field correspond directly to the first video frame of the clip. This is typically the case when you import the audio information from a telecine log. Use the Clip window's Identify feature to enter (or verify) the audio timecode value for a known point in the clip (most often at slate close). Based on this value, Cinema Tools calculates the timecode for the first frame. See Using the Identify Feature to Calculate Database Information for more information. After you have finished editing and have added the audio timecode and sound roll information to the database, you are ready to export the audio EDL. You generally open the Export Audio EDL dialog from within Final Cut Pro. You can also open it from within Cinema Tools if necessary, although additional steps are required, including the creation of a program file in the Export Film Lists dialog. See Using the Export Audio EDL Feature from Cinema Tools for more information.
