Even if you do generate a database with a telecine log, you may want to make modifications and additions to the database records at a later time. You can do this by using the Detail View window or the Clip window. (In the Clip window, you can only modify existing database records.) See Entering Database Information Manually for more information. Also see Using the Identify Feature to Calculate Database Information for details about how to determine various types of database information. You can modify any information in the database by editing settings in the Detail View window and the Identify pane of the Clip window. Some of the calculations you make using the Identify feature update preexisting information, modifying the database automatically. See the following for more information: • Deleting a Database Record • Choosing a Different Poster Frame for a Clip • Changing the Default Database Settings • Changing All Reel or Roll Identifiers Also see Verifying and Correcting Edge Code and Timecode Numbers for details about how to ensure that you have correct values in your database. Important: Before you can enter information in the database, you need to have an existing database. See Creating and Configuring a New Database for details about creating a new, empty database. Importing Database Information You can create a database by importing information from a telecine log or ALE file, a Final Cut Pro batch capture list, or an existing Cinema Tools database. Importing Database Information from a Telecine Log or ALE File You can enter information in the database by importing the telecine log from the film-to-video transfer. Cinema Tools currently supports the following telecine logs: • ATN log files from Aaton • FLX (Film Log EDL Exchange, commonly known as FLEx) log files from TLC (Time Logic Controller software) • Film Transfer List (FTL) log files from Evertz • Avid Log Exchange (ALE) files (not technically telecine logs, but contain similar information for your database) 86 Chapter 6 Entering and Modifying Database Information
