Now
that
the
audio
tracks
are
prepared,
you're
ready
to
do
the
irreversible
to
your
negative.
Before
a
one-piece
print
can
be
made
(according
to
the
cuts
in
the
EDL
made
from
your
work
print),
the
frames
of
the
negative
must
be
exactly
matched
to
those
cut
together
on
the
work
print
-
so
the
frame
numbers
match
the
EDL
paperwork
generated
in
editing.
You
really
should
send
it
to
a
professional
negative
cutter
and
pay
them
a
well-earned
fee,
before
doing
something
insane
like
attempt
to
cut
negative
yourself
for
the
first
time.
If
your
back
is
against
the
wall
and
you've
got
to
do
it
yourself,
first
have
your
cat
shaved,
dust
off
your
hot
splicer
and
prepare
as
clean
an
environment
as
possible
(and
whatever
you
do,
DON'T
SMOKE,
EAT
or
DRINK
over
your
negative!).
Prepare
your
work
space
to
cut,
hang
and
label
scores
and
scores
of
carefully
and
squarely
cut
negative
in
a
way
that
they
won't
be
damaged
or
contaminated.
Now
you
will
find
out
how
static
electricity
sucks
all
the
dust
out
of
the
air
and
glues
it
onto
your
hanging
negative.
That's
right,
you
can't
do
this
in
a
room
with
carpeting.
A
computer
anti-static
floor
mat
is
a
very
good
idea
to
reduce
dust
charging.
