On set and wrap

Keep the day moving. Keep the record.

Plans meet weather, performances, and one more take. Keep track of what happened, then give the editor and crew the records they need.

That’s the one. Circle it.

Bring this

A shoot day, with scenes, shots and people to coordinate.

Production records for the editor, the crew and the office—and room for the next rewrite.

Circle the keeper

A fictional production. Changes stay here and disappear when you leave.

Three takes in the can. Circle a keeper and see it reach the editor’s log. Circling a take doesn’t mark the scene complete.

Scene 1 · Setup 1A

Editor’s log

Sample take log for scene 1, setup 1A
Take	Status	Note
1A / 1	Logged	Full scene.
1A / 2	Logged	A beat before the answer.
1A / 3	Logged	Full scene.

In the app, download the editor’s log as ALE or CSV. This example keeps all three takes.

Your turn. Try a control and see what changes.

01 / On set and wrap

Get everyone to the same day.

Distribute call sheets and sides, see confirmations, send updates and complete planned shots. Mark coverage on the lined script and review daily progress as the day develops.

Coverage lines beside the screenplay showing the portions covered by each shot. — Keep a record of coverage as the camera rolls.

02 / On set and wrap

Remember the take, and the details.

Log takes, circle keepers, and keep continuity notes and references beside the scene. Circling a take is a record for the editor; marking a scene completed is a separate action.

Continuity notes and references for Night Bus scenes. — Which hand held the cake? Leave the next setup an answer.

03 / On set and wrap

Hand the editor a useful log.

Export the editor’s log as ALE or CSV, including takes and circled selections. Share production files and timecoded review notes. These are handoff records; editing the film happens in your editing tools.

The editor’s log with recorded takes and a circled keeper ready for export. — These takes appear in the editor’s log.

04 / On set and wrap

Give the crew their due.

Prepare credits, export approved hours, review budget actuals on Studio, and gather wrap records. Sustainability reporting estimates the production’s footprint from recorded activity.
