Editor log

/dashboard/production/editor-log. The editor's handoff view — every circled take in the production, organized by scene → shot → take, with linked dailies clips. Exportable as EDL, FCPXML, CSV, or PDF for import into the editor's NLE.

Editor log

What's shown

By default the view is "circled takes only." Each scene that has at least one circled take expands to show:

  • Shot rows — per shot, with its takes.
  • Take rows — circled takes by default, with camera report data (camera, lens, t-stop, filter, focus, duration) and the recording timestamp.
  • Director picks — primary pick + any ranked alternates.
  • Dailies clip link — if the DIT has delivered the day's dailies, the clip streams inline. Otherwise the raw media file name shows.

Filters

Toggle filters in the page header to scope the view:

  • Shoot day — narrow to a single day.
  • Scene — narrow to one scene.
  • Show all takes — include hold / NG takes alongside circled.

Cross-version

The editor log is cross-shot-list-version by design (4.5a fix). It does NOT filter by shot list version because takes are production-scoped physical media. If you fork the shot list mid-production (e.g., add additional inserts on a revision), the editor log still surfaces all circled takes across all shot list versions for the same scene.

Per-shot shoot day

The day a shot was captured is stamped at the take itself (when the Script Sup logs the take), not derived from the schedule. This way, even if the schedule changed after a shot was captured, the editor log still reflects when it actually rolled.

Exports

From the editor log page, there are four export buttons:

CSV

Flat per-take spreadsheet with all fields. Easy to import into Excel, Google Sheets, or scripts.

PDF

Print-friendly version of the on-screen view. Goes to the editor or to lab transfer.

EDL

CMX 3600-style edit decision list. Paper cut only — record timecode is synthesized starting from 01:00:00:00, source timecode runs 00:00:00:00 → duration per clip. Reel name is the dailies file name. A comment line at the top marks it as a paper cut so the editor knows to relink against real dailies on import.

This is intentional: Grace doesn't capture source timecode from the camera (4K cameras don't all expose TC). The EDL is a "here's the structure of what got circled" handoff — the actual conform happens in Avid / Premiere / Resolve after media is online.

FCPXML

Final Cut Pro XML. Offline-structure-only — one asset per unique dailies clip, with local-file references. Imports as a sequence with red placeholders that the editor relinks against the real dailies. Same paper-cut intent as EDL.

Why no AAF?

AAF (Advanced Authoring Format, Avid's interchange) requires specialized tooling to write properly. It's on the roadmap. In the meantime CSV + PDF + EDL + FCPXML cover the major NLE import paths.

Director picks → editor log

When the director marks a take as a "select" via Script Sup picks, it appears in the editor log with a small icon indicator + rank. Useful for the editor to know which take to start cutting from when multiple takes are circled.

What flows in here

The editor log is the convergence point — everything captured during the shoot funnels here for handoff to post.

Mobile

The page works on mobile but at a tighter density. Realistic use is desktop at end-of-day for the editor.
