Logging
The following methods are available for logging:
• Logging from a Source Tape
• Logging On-the-Fly
• Logging with the Deck Offline
Logging from a Source Tape
One method of logging is to use MediaLog tools to control a source deck,
to select shots from your source tapes, and to record clip data directly to a
bin.
Make sure you have set up all the required information for logging, as
described in “Configuring Decks” on page 72 and “Preparing to Log
Material” on page 84. After you establish your settings and specify your
bin, deck, and tape, the Logging tool is the only tool you need to log from a
tape to a bin.
The Logging tool provides flexibility in the way you mark your clips for
logging, as the following illustration shows.
