Stage 3: Connecting the Clips to the Database Once you have captured the source clips, you can connect them to the Cinema Tools database (also known as linking the clips to the database). Connecting a clip to the database gives Cinema Tools the ability to access a record's clip while creating the cut list, reducing the chance of timecode entry problems. When creating a cut list, Cinema Tools starts by looking at the clip pathname used in the edit and matching it back to the database. Being able to work with the clip file in this way reduces the chances of a timecode error, which can cause inaccurate records in the cut list. This is especially important when editing at 24 fps. See How Cinema Tools Creates Film Lists and Connecting Source Clips to the Database for more information. Stage 4: Preparing the Clips for Editing Cinema Tools has two powerful features that can be used on your clips prior to editing them: the Reverse Telecine feature and the Conform feature. See Preparing the Clips for Editing for more information. Stage 5: Editing the Clips in Final Cut Pro You edit the clips in Final Cut Pro much as you would for any video project, but there are a few important things to keep in mind. See Editing with Final Cut Pro for descriptions of these considerations. Stage 6: Creating Cut Lists and Other Lists with Cinema Tools Once you have edited your clips and are satisfied with your digitally edited project, you are ready to generate film-related lists that describe how to cut the negative or workprint. The cut list provides a list of the edits and of titling information. See Creating Cut Lists and Other Lists with Cinema Tools for more information. Film Workflow Examples The following sections detail several Cinema Tools database workflow scenarios. Keep in mind that there are many possible variations of these workflows, and you often do not have to follow the steps exactly in order. It's also possible to use parts of several workflows. See Basic Film Workflow Steps for details about specific steps. For a discussion of the integration between Final Cut Pro and Cinema Tools, see How Much Can Be Done from Final Cut Pro? Following are sections covering two groups of workflows-those that use scene-and-take transfers (If You Used Scene-and-Take Transfers) and those that use camera-roll transfers (If You Used Camera-Roll Transfers). These workflows are further divided depending on whether a telecine log is available and whether you have device control of your video player during the capture process. 42 Chapter 3 Cinema Tools Workflows
