Cinema Tools – The scene list
Anybody know if there is a way for Cinema Tools to generate The Scene List to include the Keycode out point in addition to the Keycode In Point and Length.
The lab I’m working with prefers this as they are pulling Flash-Frame to Flash-Frame shots for Digital Intermediate workflow.
Thanks

If you can get the start column and then length column into Excel, you could pretty easily calculate the out.
The formula would be (start feet + length feet) + [integer quotient of {(start frames + length frames) / frames per foot}}
Then for the “+ frames”, use the remainder quotient of last calculation.
I’m not near a machine with excel, or I’d write out a quick template.

Yeah I was thinking there must be some way to create a formula in excel. And I do take my lists into excel to customize them all the time. I’m trying to get my head around the fact that this is 3perf 35mm so it doesn’t work out to base 20 on the footage/frames turnover all the time – sometimes it is 21.
Anways thanks for the insight.

I think you could use 21.33 as the frames per foot, and get very close to the right numbers.
If you digitized everything, then you could export a Cinema Tools list of everything, sort by the keycodes, identify the complete shots you used, and then the first frame of the NEXT shot – 1 would be your end frame.
This would only work if you brought everything into the Cinema Tools database, and not selects.
