See Importing Database Information from a Telecine Log or ALE File for more information. If You Do Not Have a Telecine Log or ALE File Although it's faster and more efficient to use a log, you can build a database without one. This is the most common approach with digital intermediate workflows. To create a database without a log 1 Create a new, empty database. See Creating and Configuring a New Database for more information. 2 Enter database records manually. See A Potential Database Shortcut for Camera-Roll Transfers and Entering Database Information Manually for more information. Note: Alternatively, you could capture your source clips before creating your database and then build the Cinema Tools database by importing a batch capture list created in Final Cut Pro. See Importing Database Information from a Batch Capture List for more information. Is Your Edge Code Number-to-Timecode Relationship Continuous or Noncontinuous? The edge code number-to-timecode relationship in a camera roll is continuous if the camera roll was transferred to video without stopping. The edge code number-to-timecode relationship is noncontinuous if: • You used a scene-and-take telecine transfer, where the video recording was stopped and restarted in between takes • The film roll was made up of takes that were spliced together before it was transferred to video Note: Occasionally the edge code number-to-timecode relationship is broken if, during filming, the camera crew opened up a camera to check, clean, or change parts of the camera (often called checking the gate). When the camera is opened for such purposes, the film is typically unthreaded and then rethreaded. When the film is rethreaded, it may be on a different perforation number. This means that at the telecine, the telecine technician needs to stop, reframe, and make an edit, thus breaking the edge code number-to-timecode relationship in the camera roll. This should be evident in the telecine log. 56 Chapter 4 Creating a Cinema Tools Database
