Exporting a Film Cut List

In basic terms, a Final Cut Pro sequence is a series of start and end timecode values
from different source tapes. A film sequence is similar: a series of start and end edge
code numbers from various film reels. When you finish editing your sequence in
Final Cut Pro, you need to generate a list of edge code start and end times, known as
a cut list, so that a film negative cutter can match the sequence you created in
Final Cut Pro. As long as you properly created a Cinema Tools database before you
started editing, generating a cut list is easy.
