You can import telecine log files using either Cinema Tools or Final Cut Pro. See Importing Telecine Logs Using Cinema Tools and Importing Telecine Logs Using Final Cut Pro for more information. Assigning Camera Letters Whether you import the telecine log file using Cinema Tools or Final Cut Pro, you have the option of having Cinema Tools dynamically assign a camera letter to all records that are imported. The camera letter uses the first letter of the camera roll value and is appended to the take entry of each record. This is useful in those cases where multiple cameras were used for each take, with the letters making it easy to distinguish between the clips from different cameras. Additionally, if you set up a multiclip in Final Cut Pro, the camera letters are used to create the different angles. Importing Telecine Logs Using Cinema Tools To import a telecine log into Cinema Tools, you must first have a database open. The database can be an existing one to which you want to add new records, or it can be a new one with no records. To import a telecine log using Cinema Tools 1 Do one of the following: • Open an existing Cinema Tools database. See Opening an Existing Database for more information. • Create a new Cinema Tools database. See Creating and Configuring a New Database for more information. 2 Import the telecine log file by choosing File > Import > Telecine Log (or pressing Command-L). 3 In the dialog that appears, select the telecine log or ALE file.
