Using the List Tool
926
To generate the first cut list for conforming a work print:
1. Make sure the tracks you want are selected.
2. Remove any unwanted add edits (match-frame edits).
3. Duplicate the sequence and place the original sequence in an archive backup bin.
4. Keep the copy of your sequence in a current cuts or work-in-progress bin, and use the List tool to
generate lists from the archived original.
For the work in progress, you can keep the file name extension .01, created when you duplicated
the sequence, as a way of indicating that it has been properly archived.
To generate a change list to update the work print as necessary:
1. Make sure the tracks you want are selected in the new (revised) sequence, remove any unwanted
add edits, copy the sequence and place the original in the archive bin.
2. Use successive versions of the sequence stored in the archive to generate the Change lists in the
List tool. Try to maintain one sequence version for each time you conform the work print.
Often in later stages of editing, you might need to compare several cuts or versions or to combine
two or more reels that have already been conformed. See “Creating Change Lists Across
Multiple Reels” on page 912.
To generate a final cut list:
1. Make sure the tracks you want are selected and remove any match frame (add edits).
2. Back up your project and bins.
3. Record a digital cut, preferably with burn-in.
4. Prepare assemble lists for each reel by key number.
Displaying Frame Count Numbers in Cut Lists
Bins can display a digital file name for each frame in addition to key numbers, ink numbers, and
other reference numbers. Tracking frames with the frame number is useful in the film scanning
process, where each frame is an independent file. It is also useful when working with effects and
animation processes that are dependent on a frame-based counting scheme. You can include the
frame number when you generate a cut list in the List tool.
The naming and counting scheme consists of a prefix (8-character maximum), separated by a dash
and followed by 6 characters that count as total frames. For example, FXS32v01-000001 identifies
the first frame of a series of frames that belong to an FX shot for Scene 32 version 1. As the FX shot
progresses during the creative process, the version number increases.
To display the frame count numbers in a bin and cut list:
1. In the Film Settings dialog box, select Frame Count from the Ink Number Default Edge Type
option or the Auxiliary Ink Default Edge Type option.
2. In a bin, select Ink Number or Auxiliary Ink from the Bin Headings dialog box.
The Ink Number and Auxiliary Ink columns display the frame count numbers in the bin.
3. In the List tool, choose Ink Number and Auxiliary Ink in the List options. Generate the cut list.
The cut list includes the frame count numbers.
