9. Adding Logs to Media
9.1. Introduction
A log is a reference point to a specific frame in a video sequence. The log is identified by a
timecode value, and relates to an action in a given event. It can be associated to metadata
related to the event (keywords and/or a ranking, for example).
Adding logs to media is particularly useful to easily and quickly retrieve the interesting
moments of the recorded sequences.
Users have the possibility to create log entries directly during the event, or later on.
However, with IPClipLogger, a log cannot be added to a live train. It can only be added to
a clip being recorded or already saved.
When users log LIVE actions, logs must be entered as soon as the action occurs to grab
the timecode corresponding to the action. This is called the LIVE logging hereafter.
When users log actions later on, users can move through the selected media: recorded
clip, loaded train. This is called the retroactive logging hereafter.
Log creation buttons and shortcuts are available to add logs to a media. In this case, users
will have to manually associate metadata to the log, such as keywords, interest level,
highlight color or a description. The IPClipLogger provides another way to create logs and
associate predefined metadata to it in a single click. This is done thanks to the F keys
which must have been previously configured.
