• Key fields: (If you intend to create a cut list or change list for a film-based project, these fields or the ink number fields are required.) The first field should contain the key prefix that is constant throughout a roll of film. For example, for the key number KJ 29 1010 5867+07, the key prefix is "KJ 29 1010," which you enter as "KJ291010." You can enter up to eight characters (including spaces, although most often you will be skipping the spaces, as in this example). In the second field, enter the second part of the key number-the frame number-for the first frame of the clip. For example, for the key number KJ 29 1010 5867+07, the frame number is "5867+07." The frame number identifies each foot or half foot within the reel, plus the frame count number. If you know the key number for another part of the clip, the Identify feature can determine and enter the key number (Key fields) for the first frame of your clip. See Calculating Edge Code and Timecode Numbers for more information. • Ink fields: (If you intend to create a cut list or change list for a film-based project, these fields or the Key fields are required.) In the first field enter the prefix number, and in the second field enter the frame number. For example, in the ink number 123 4567+08, the prefix is "123" and the frame number is "4567+08," indicating that the frame occurs at 4567 feet and 8 frames. • TK Speed pop-up menu: This pop-up menu gives you the option of individually specifying the telecine transfer film speed for each database record. If the database record was created from a telecine log, this setting should already be correct and there should be no need to change it. If you are creating the database manually, the setting in this pop-up menu should reflect the telecine film speed setting you chose when you set your project defaults. See Settings in the New Database Dialog for more information. • Film Std pop-up menu: This pop-up menu gives you the option of individually specifying the film standard for each database record. If the database record was created from a telecine log, this setting should already be correct and there should be no need to change it. If you are creating the database manually, the setting in this pop-up menu should reflect the setting you chose in the New Database dialog. For clips that are in reverse direction, you can specify a reverse direction for the film standard by choosing either the 35.4p.rev (for 4-perf 35mm) or 16.20.rev (for 16mm-20) item. Reverse-direction film is film that has key numbers going in a descending rather than an ascending order. You'll see this when, for example, film has been shot in reverse, or when a film roll was loaded into the camera "tails out," so that the key numbers are in reverse order. See Settings in the New Database Dialog for more information. For clips that use the 3-perf 35mm standard, you choose the perforation offset of the key number. This offset (3-perf•1, 3-perf•2, or 3-perf•3) refers to the relationship of the perforation marked with the symbol "•" and the film frame at that point. See 3-Perf 35mm Offsets for more information. Note: Reverse-direction 3-perf 35mm film is not supported. 70 Chapter 5 Working with Databases
