Appendix How Cinema Tools Creates Film Lists B Cinema Tools can produce a film list only if it can match edits made in the editing system to records in the Cinema Tools database. The database record contains the film roll and key number information that Cinema Tools needs in order to describe the edit in the film list. This appendix covers the following: • Film List Creation Overview (p. 241) • About the Clip-Based Method (p. 242) • About the Timecode-Based Method (p. 243) Film List Creation Overview In creating a film list, there are two basic methods Cinema Tools uses to locate a database record associated with a particular edit: • Clip-based method: Cinema Tools obtains the clip's filename from Final Cut Pro and then looks for the clip in the database. Cinema Tools first tries to locate the clip based on the clip pathname indicated in the editing system. If it fails to find the clip by looking for the pathname, it searches for the clip by its name and modification date. When Cinema Tools finds the clip in the database, it can also locate the associated record, because each clip must be linked to one record. See About the Clip-Based Method for more information. • Timecode-based method: If Cinema Tools can't find the database record using the clip's filename, it finds the database record by looking for the video reel and timecode information associated with the edit in the sequence in Final Cut Pro. See About the Timecode-Based Method for more information. 241
