Cinema Tools Workflows 3 The primary purpose of Cinema Tools is to export film lists based on edits made in Final Cut Pro. You can also use Cinema Tools in workflows involving Color, DPX image sequences, and REDCODE media files. There are a few critical steps that are necessary for these workflows, but for the most part, the Cinema Tools workflow you should follow depends on the equipment you use, your video standard, and how you like to work. This chapter covers the following: • Basic Film Workflow Steps (p. 41) • Film Workflow Examples (p. 42) • Basic Digital Intermediate Workflow Steps (p. 46) • Digital Intermediate Workflow Using a Telecine (p. 49) • Working with REDCODE Media (p. 51) Basic Film Workflow Steps This section details a Cinema Tools database workflow for working with film. See Film Workflow Examples for possible scenarios. See How Much Can Be Done from Final Cut Pro? for information about which steps can be done directly in Final Cut Pro. The typical Cinema Tools film workflow is outlined below. Stage 1: Creating the Cinema Tools Database The heart of Cinema Tools is its database, where the relationships between the elements of your movie (the film, video, and audio) are established and tracked. Although there is no actual requirement that the database be created prior to editing, it can provide some useful tools to help with capturing clips and planning the edit. See Creating the Cinema Tools Database for more information. Stage 2: Capturing the Source Clips with Final Cut Pro You must capture the video and audio on your editing computer. How you do this depends in large part on the actual media used for the telecine transfer. See Capturing the Source Clips with Final Cut Pro for more information. 41
