Cinema Tools help
I need to edit in 25 fps Pal video, then generate a 24 fps EDL so it can be conformed to film. I know that Cinema Tools can do this, but how should I go about setting this up, what do I have to do before/after I capture the media. Is there a set of instructions somewhere that can talk me through this??

24@25 was given special attention in FCP 4.5 update thanks to the petition Will MacNeil started. There is Editing Film With Final Cut Pro
in a PAL Environment section in New Features under help menu.Are you sure you need 24 fps EDL? Film is the same number of frames per foot no matter what fps.

I’d hazard a guess that you’d actually like a 25fps edl even though you’re editing at 24fps. This is what most neg cutters want as far as I know. You’ll only need Cinema Tools if you need to create film cutlists or audio edl’s refering to sound roll and timecode from a flex file (or any telecine log.)
Either way, do yourself a favour and start off with the 24@25 easy setup and if you’re working from something other than DV, modify it to support your I/O hardware. This will tick all the right boxes for sequence timecode rates and so on.
I’m here if you have specific questions,
Will
