Importing an Existing Cinema Tools Database One Cinema Tools database can be imported into another Cinema Tools database. There are a few reasons why you might want to do this: • You may want to create separate databases for organization and archiving purposes and then bring them all together in a master database. For example, you might want to create separate databases for your dailies. If you want to manage your dailies by creating a date-named database for each of the dailies, you can import the telecine log for that daily session, export a batch capture list, capture the clips, and use the Cinema Tools Connect Clips command to connect all the clips to that date-named database file. Then, you can import that database file into a master database that contains all of the daily databases. • You may need to correct a database that has incorrect project defaults. To do this, you create a new, empty database with the correct defaults and then import your original database file into the new one. To import one database file into another 1 Open the database into which you want to import another database file by choosing Database > Open Database (or pressing Command-Shift-O) and then selecting the database in the dialog. 2 Choose File > Import > Database. 3 In the dialog that appears, select the database you want to import. Entering Database Information Manually You can use the Detail View window to manually edit database records. Before you can edit information in a database, you need to create database records. Note: If a database record has already been created for a clip, you can also use the Identify pane of the Clip window to enter information. See Using the Identify Feature to Calculate Database Information for details. Chapter 6 Entering and Modifying Database Information 91
