Stage 1: Creating the Offline Video Clips Using a telecine, you create the offline video clips that Final Cut Pro uses to edit the program. You should try to create offline video clips with the same frame rate as the DPX image sequence clips you will create with the film scan when the offline edit is finished. You also need to make sure the reel name and timecode of the telecine clips will match those of the clips from the film scan. Note: Cinema Tools and Color use the name of the folder containing the DPX image sequence files as the reel name. You should also generate a telecine log file that Cinema Tools can use to create a database for exporting the pull list used by the film scanner. Stage 2: Creating the Cinema Tools Database You create a Cinema Tools database using the telecine log file. This database is used to generate the pull list after you finish editing the program. Stage 3: Editing the Clips in Final Cut Pro You edit the offline video 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 4: Exporting the Pull List After you have finished editing the offline video clips, you can export a Cinema Tools film list that includes the pull list used to scan the high-quality video clips used in the program. Stage 5: Creating the High-Quality Video Clips The pull list is used by a film scanner to create high-quality video clips, usually DPX image sequences, that are then used to finish the program in Color. It is critical that the reel names and timecode of the scanned clips match what the telecine process provided for the offline video clips. Stage 6: Exporting an EDL File from Final Cut Pro After you have completed editing the offline video clips in Final Cut Pro, you export an EDL. This file contains a list of every edit, with the reel names of the source clips and their In and Out point timecode numbers. Stage 7: Importing the EDL into Color When you import an EDL into a Color project, you can choose the folder that contains the source clips the EDL refers to. You can choose the folder that contains the scanned DPX clips and have Color connect the EDL records to the clips, or you can choose a Cinema Tools database you create from the clips. 50 Chapter 3 Cinema Tools Workflows
