source clips The media files you start with when you begin editing. These are the files that are captured into your computer and linked to the Cinema Tools database before editing begins. standard definition video Refers to the NTSC and PAL video standards. See also high definition video , NTSC , PAL . style sheet Style sheets are Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) files that Cinema Tools uses to provide customized output lists. This includes controlling the specific types of information to include and defining the output layout and format (plain text, HTML, and so on). Several are provided by Cinema Tools, and you can create custom style sheets as needed. See also Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT). supers Short for superimposed. Overlays of images or text onto frames. For example, titles are superimposed onto frames. sync Short for synchronization. When sound is in unison (synchronized) with the picture, they are said to be in sync. synchronizer block A small mechanical bench device with sprocketed wheels mounted on a revolving shaft. Located between film reels mounted on shafted rewinds, it accepts one strip of film and perforated magnetic soundtrack per sprocketed wheel. Once the film and track are locked onto the wheels, they can be placed in exact mechanical sync and will maintain this sync while they are advanced forward through the synchronizer block. The synchronizer block also keeps track of elapsed footage via a mechanical feet and frame counter geared to the sprocket wheels. Also known as a sync block, gang sync, or synchronizer. take A take is another version of a particular shot. In shooting a film, there may be multiple takes of each shot. telecine A machine that copies the images on the original camera negative to a videotape format, often including a window burn of the film edge code. See also window burn . telecine film speed The frame rate at which the film is run in telecine equipment during the transfer to video. telecine log A file generated by the telecine technician during the telecine transfer. Records the key numbers of the original camera negative and the timecode of the video transfer, tracking the relationship between them. Sometimes called a FLEx file. timecode A format for assigning each frame of video a unique, sequential unit of time. The format is hours: minutes: seconds: frames. TK speed See telecine film speed. 256 Glossary
