  Change List

  Posted by George Hedges on July 2, 2007 at 9:21 pm

  I need help making a change list for DVCpro 720p 24 material. I am having trouble batch exporting into cinematools and then creating a change list. I keep getting formatting errors. I have made EDL’s successfully and now I just want the program to compare them and make a change list. Any help would be greatly appreciated

  neither Cinema tools or FCP compares EDLs
  Cinema Tools compares CUT LISTS, which are made from Cinema Tools Databases.
  without a CT database, you cant make change lists.

  but you should be able to make a CT database.
  (What sort of problems are you having)
  here’s how i would do it:

  copy your final sequences into a new FCP project.
  select the sequences, then from the Tools Menu, chose “Create Master Clips”
  this will give you a bin with all the master clips used in the sequences.
  open that bin in its own tab,
  and format the columns so you have just the info you need to import into CT

  export a batch list.
  import that list into CT.

  should work in theory.

  otherwise, take your EDLs to a neg matcher.
  they may be able to make change lists for you based on the EDLs
  but they too rely on databases that they create and maintain. don’t know if they can make a Change list from EDLs alone,
  but might be worth a few phone calls

  cheers,
  nick
