When Shooting on Film<br />
Launch Cinema tools. When asked for the database, click cancel. Choose: Database > New Database.<br />
You can set the parameters of your fi lm and telecine. However, this information is part of the Telecine<br />
Log and should overwrite and set itself, but any information not in the log will not be automatically<br />
set. Be thorough and set it right. Remember, if your time code is drop frame, there is a semicolon<br />
before the frames, NDF, colon. (For and explanation of time code, see <strong>Appendix</strong> 4 on time codes.)<br />
Name your database and save.<br />
Choose File > Import > Telecine log.<br />
Locate your copy of the telecine log. Cinema Tools will tell you how many events were imported.<br />
If you know how many shots you have, this number should match. It is possible for a shot to not<br />
import because of a fi le problem in the log, but it is not common.<br />
The Cinema Tools list and detail window should open (see Figure 1.5). From here you can add comments<br />
to any shot. You may have no comments until you see the video, but you can always come<br />
back here and add comments. Be very cautious when working in these windows, there is no undo<br />
and everything you do is saved to disc. Always keep backups. And don’t close the window by clicking<br />
delete. It deletes the shot from the database!<br />
