An Overview of Using Cinema Tools 1 Cinema Tools combined with Final Cut Pro gives unprecedented power to film, digital intermediate, and 24p video editors. This chapter covers the following: • Editing Film Digitally (p. 9) • Why 24p Video? (p. 12) • Working with 24p Sources (p. 13) • Offline and Online Editing (p. 13) • Creating the Cinema Tools Database (p. 14) • Capturing the Source Clips with Final Cut Pro (p. 16) • Preparing the Clips for Editing (p. 19) • Creating Cut Lists and Other Lists with Cinema Tools (p. 20) • How Much Can Be Done from Final Cut Pro? (p. 21) Editing Film Digitally Computer technology is changing the film-creation process. Most feature-length films are now edited digitally, using sophisticated and expensive nonlinear editors designed for that specific purpose. Until recently, this sort of tool has not been available to filmmakers on a limited budget. Cinema Tools provides Final Cut Pro with the functionality of systems costing many times more at a price that all filmmakers can afford. If you are shooting with 35mm or 16mm film and want to edit digitally and finish on film, Cinema Tools allows you to edit video transfers from your film using Final Cut Pro and then generate an accurate cut list that can be used to finish the film. Even if you do not intend to conform the original camera negative, as in a digital intermediate workflow, Cinema Tools provides a variety of tools for capturing and processing your film's video. See About the Digital Intermediate Process for more information. 9
