9. Adding Logs to a Clip
9.1. Introduction
The logs are reference points to a specific frame in a video sequence. Their purpose is to
mark points of interest on the media and to facilitate rapid movement between them. A log
is identified by a TC value, and relates to an action in a given event.
Whenever you want, you can add logs to the material loaded in the Clip Player, or in the
Storyboard Player. Even if you add the log in the Storyboard Player, the logs are in fact
added to the source clip.
When keyword grids are stored in C:\Program Files\EVS Broadcast
Equipment\XedioDispatcher\Keyword Grids, the grids are automatically detected and are
available in the Logger tab. Then keywords can be associated to a log.
Would keywords grids be available or not, an interest level and/or free text can always be
associated to the log.
9.2. Log and Metadata Display
9.2.1. Log Color and Rating
Logs are shown on the media bar as transparent triangles.
The log will have a different color depending on the interest level assigned:
• White log for no-star rating (default) or for a cue point (no associated metadata)
• Blue log for 1-star rating
• Green log for 2-stars rating
• Red log for 3-stars rating
There is always a black stripe below the video display when logs are present on the
loaded media/clip. When the nowline is on an log timecode, a transparent triangle appears
on the left of this black stripe.
