dual system sound Sound for any production using separate devices to record the image
and the sound. Dual system recording is always used in film productions and often used
in 24p productions. Also known as double system production.
duplicate list A film list Cinema Tools users can export, indicating duplicate uses of the
same film source material in an edited program. Also known as a dupe list.
edge code Refers to feet and frame count numbers found on the film edge. May be
latent key numbers on the original camera negative, or ink numbers added to the edge
of workprints. See also ink number , key number .
Edit Decision List (EDL) A text file that sequentially lists all of the edits and individual
clips used in a sequence. EDLs are used to move a project from one editing application
to another, or to coordinate the assembly of a program in a tape-based online editing
facility.
Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) The language used by the
Cinema Tools style sheets. XSLT-based style sheets are commonly used to extract
information from XML files. When you export a style sheet–based film list, Cinema Tools
first exports an XML-format film list and then processes that XML output with the selected
style sheet, resulting in exactly the output items and layout the style sheet specifies. See
also style sheet.
field Half of an interlaced video frame consisting of the odd or the even scan lines.
Alternating video fields are drawn every 1/60 of a second in NTSC video (1/50 of a second
in PAL) to create the perceived 29.97 fps video (25 fps PAL). There are two fields for every
frame, an upper field and a lower field. It is possible to capture only one field of each
frame. See also interlaced video .
field dominance Refers to the field that occurs first in an interlaced video frame. If only
one field is captured, field 1 dominance means that only field 1 is captured and field 2
dominance means that only field 2 is captured. See also field .
film list A text file you give to the negative cutter to use as a guide in conforming the
original camera negative. The film list may contain one or more of the following: a cut
list, a missing elements list, a duplicate list, an optical list, a pull list, and a scene list. A
film list may also contain additional information for pulling the negative rolls, making
duplicate negatives, making a workprint, or printing effects.
FLEx file A common telecine log file format. See also telecine log .
footage number Part of a key number; refers to the four-digit number indicating the
position on a film roll. See also frame number , key number .
found set The set of database entries shown in the Cinema Tools List View window. This
set is called the found set because you use the Find command to display it.
