Log video footage
Log video footage with source identifiers, time ranges, content, quality, rights, and editorial notes.
Create a source-traceable map of what exists without turning interpretation into fact.
Procedure
- Preserve original file names, cards, reels, cameras, dates, and backup locations.
- Confirm frame rate, timecode, audio channels, synchronization, and proxy relationship.
- Watch at sufficient attention and record exact in and out time ranges.
- Describe action, speaker, location, subject, and spoken topic neutrally.
- Mark focus, exposure, stability, audio, continuity, and technical problems.
- Flag standout moments, alternate takes, coverage gaps, rights, and sensitivity limits.
- Link the log to transcripts, releases, shot lists, and source files.
- Spot-check timecodes and save a versioned footage log.
Guardrails
- Do not rename or alter camera originals while logging.
- Never infer identity, motive, or factual truth from appearance alone.
- Keep restricted participant and location information out of broad logs.
