    Hello Cows,

    I do not have Cinema Tools in front of me, but I’m trying to help a friend get an FCP 5 EDL together to be Imported into an IQ.

    This is roughly what I need from an EDL-

    Foot/ Duration/ First-Last Key/ Start TC/ Tape#/ LRoll/CRoll/ Clip Name

    1677 163frames EH 56 7015-6141+02 05:36:34:10 VT001 AIR74 C132 50A(c)

    This is what FCP kicks out –

    Shot Time Duration Keycode In Frame Out Frame Roll Clip name

    002 02:00:08:00 00:13:25 EB 73 6343 9660&14 9677&05 A66 25C-4PU

    I am under the impression that FCP can NOT create an EDL that has both Key info and Tape #..?

    1)How do I merge the two EDLs into one(Excel?) Or can this actually be done now with Cinetools 3?

    2)Also can FCP output “Duration” as frames only?

    3)And it looks like this FCP EDL has key information at 20 frames a foot, it should be 39 frames a foot. Is this something that can be set in FCP as well?

    Thanks for any help,

    Chris

    OK.. so the 16mm keys roll over every 20 frames. 2 keys per foot = 40 frames

    They match the burn in, so that is looking good.

    Anyone know if we can get “Duration” in frames only?

    Or if we can get Keys and “Source In” timecode in the same list?

    Thanks,
    Chris
