180 Part II Project Interchange
 To export an XML-format film list file: Choose File > Export > Cinema Tools XML Film Lists.
The Export XML Film Lists dialog appears.
3 Configure the settings in the export dialog, then click OK.
If you expect to make changes to this Final Cut Pro sequence and want to export a
change list later, make sure to select “Save a Cinema Tools program file.” You’ll need that
program file to export a change list that compares this sequence to another version.
4 If you selected “Save a Cinema Tools program file,” enter a filename and location for it
in the dialog that appears.
Important: Give the program file a name that clearly identifies the sequence and the
version, so that you can easily locate it later when you need to export a change list that
compares this sequence to a newer version.
5 In the next dialog that appears, enter a filename for the film list, choose a location, and
click Save.
6 In the dialog that appears, select the database file that Cinema Tools should use to
produce the lists that you have selected. (Select the database you created for source
media used in this sequence.)
A film list is generated as a file that contains all of the lists you have selected. If Cinema Tools
is unable to complete any list, messages appear in the file that indicate the problem and
guide you to a solution. See the Cinema Tools User Manual for more information.
