How do youmake a pull list with tape id and timecode information????????

[Doug Bassett]

Would exporting a batch list work for you? You could then open that in excel and edit it.

[Steven Gonzales]

You need to use Cinema Tools, which is a database of all your quicktimes, with timecode, reel and keycode information, and this database is linked to each individual quicktime that you edited with.

You can then produce your lists through this combined information (within Final Cut, File menu, export, Cinema Tools film lists) . If you don’t have a cinema tools database, you can export all your clip information from the FCP brower as a final cut pro batch list, and import that into cinema tools, add all the keycode information, and link all the quicktime files.

Usually the telecine facility provides a flex file, which has all this information, and is imported into Cinema Tools to create the database. Then this database info is exported as a final cut pro batch list, imported into FCP, and used to batch capture. Then the captured files are linked to the database records, and the information is linked both ways.

Since you’re near the end of the process, you can still accomplish lists, but you’ll have to build the info from Final Cut backwards.

This is a dated article, but it gives the basics:

Thanks for your reply. I do indeed have the clients database. The problem is notgenerating the pull list, but more gernerating a pull list in the format we need over here. I need to have a standard pull list (which we were able to generate form cinema tools) along with tape id and timcode info appended to each event. Currently I’m working on an XML parser which will extract this info from the XML dump of the seq. but there has to be a more streamlined work around. Thanks again for all your help.
