Change List

[Nick Meyers]

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,
