John sounds right to me. I had heard mostly of workprints always, too.

I’m surprised that no one has mentioned workprint. Most films were edited
using workprints, a print off the uncut negative — and once that was “locked”
the negative was conformed. While some did edit original negatives, it was
usually for speed — done in the early newsreel days, and in early T
Yes, and based on experience, if you get one frame out of sync somewhere its a
nightmare to fix!

I wouldn’t suggest conforming any negative you care about yourself unless you
have plenty of experience both with handling negative and with a glue splicer.
Any dust or whatever that gets on the neg will show up in the print. It takes

Interesting to know this. Thanks Pip, for bringing it out. I'll make sure I
ask my lab, as I actually don't have any cement equipment (yet). Good to
know it's affordable too!

The Bell and Howell printers will mostly pass tape splices, but they always
have a little registration problem when the splice goes over, even if you
add a few frames of slop.
You can do it... I once conformed a 400 foot documentary entirely with a
Presstape splicer (very very bad idea).

Yes, the neg needs to be cut in order. You can cut it with scenes simply in
order (and cement splice it). If you do this you will see a line on the screen
at each cut. The better way to do this is to A-B roll, that is to make two
rolls with a checkerboard pattern with scenes alternating with bla
