Why every job is different.
These are the factors that shape the scope and cost of a logging job. If you are not sure, send a brief and we will work it out together.
Hours of footage
Total volume is the biggest driver. More footage means more time, even with AI assistance.
Number of speakers
Multiple speakers in interviews requires more editorial attention and accurate speaker identification.
Audio quality
Poor or noisy audio slows transcription accuracy and requires more human review.
Number of cameras
Multi-camera shoots produce more media to review, even when scenes overlap.
Required detail
A basic selects log is faster than a full story-notes document with editorial analysis.
Turnaround
Rush jobs can usually be accommodated — but tight deadlines affect cost and scheduling.
Delivery format
Standard formats (Google Doc, CSV) are included. Custom formats may add a small overhead.
Proxies vs. originals
Proxies are faster and cheaper to handle. Originals are fine but may affect turnaround.
The easiest way to know the cost is to send a brief.
