Stage 7: Editing the Audio You typically "rough-cut" the audio while editing the workprint. While the negative is being conformed, the audio is edited (using the original sound rolls) and finished with sound effects and any required dialogue enhancements. Stage 8: Creating the Answer and Release Prints After the original camera negative has been conformed and the audio finalized, you can have an answer print created. This print is used for the final color timing, where the color balance and exposure for each shot are adjusted to ensure the shots all work well together. You may need to create several answer prints before you are happy with the results. Once you are satisfied with the answer print, the final release print is made. Editing Film Using Digital Methods The process of editing film digitally is constantly evolving, but the basic concept remains the same-you start and end on film, with only the creative part of the editing process changing. Following is a simplified workflow outlining the basic process. (See Cinema Tools Workflows for a more detailed explanation of this process.) Original camera negative Telecine log Final Cut Pro Cinema Tools Create Cinema Tools database Export cut lists based on edits Conform original camera Cut negative to list cut list Shoot film Develop film Convert to video with a telecine Audio for edit Record audio Original production audio Reverse telecine Edit Conform decisions Capture video Capture audio Prepare clips Edit video and audio Audio EDL Create release prints Mix audio tracks Add sound effects Although this workflow appears more complicated than the traditional editing method, many of these steps can be automated. For most filmmakers, the benefits of being able to edit digitally easily offset any added procedures. Several parts of this process are the same as for the traditional method-as mentioned earlier, it is only the middle part of the film editing process that is affected by editing digitally. 236 Appendix A Film Background Basics
