Process

How the logging process works.

From initial brief to finished handover. Five steps. No surprises. No large uploads until we have agreed scope.

1

Scope the job

Send us a brief. Tell us what you are working with: project type, approximate footage volume, format, deadline and what kind of log you need. You do not need to send files at this stage.

We will come back within one business day with a scope, turnaround estimate and a quote.

What to send: A short description of the project, volume of footage and what you need back. A paragraph is enough.
2

Send footage or proxies

Once scope is agreed, we will arrange the right transfer method for your production. For most jobs, proxies or selected footage are enough. We do not need your whole production pipeline.

We support MXF originals, proxy sets, ProRes, MP4 and most common acquisition formats.

Security note: Transfers are arranged after scope so we can match the workflow to the project. We handle your footage with the same care your own team would.
3

AI-assisted logging pass

We run the footage through our AI-assisted workflow. This covers transcription of selected segments, timecode extraction, and a first pass at identifying usable moments.

The AI handles the volume. It removes the dead time, the repeated takes, the unusable audio. It does not write the log.

What AI does: Transcription, timecode matching, clip identification, first-pass selection. Fast and consistent.
4

Human clean-up & editorial review

Every log is reviewed by a human who understands production. We check transcription accuracy, clean descriptions, add editorial notes, flag story potential and make sure the output is useful — not just technically complete.

This is the layer that makes a transcript into a log.

What humans do: Editorial judgement, tone notes, story potential, accuracy checks, formatting and the plain-English descriptions that make a log usable.

Delivery

You receive a clean, structured working log in the format your team uses: Google Doc, Word, CSV or PDF. Timecoded, searchable and ready for the edit.

Revisions or deeper logging passes are available if needed.

Delivery formats: Google Doc, Word (.docx), CSV, PDF. Ask if you need something different.
Handling your footage

We treat your production with the same care your own team would.

We do not need your whole production pipeline. For most jobs, proxies or selected footage are enough. Transfers are arranged after scope so we can match the workflow to the project.

We do not share, publish or use your footage for any purpose beyond the logging job. Your rushes stay your rushes.
