FS7: Wireless logging & tagging

[Berk]

Hi
I am exploring a digital workflow on the set in order to avoid the papework and make the life of the editor breeze.
Is there a way with FS7 to log the files( scene name, take number..etc) maybe to tag the good takes while recording? It could be with a third party recorder Like: atomos, or odyssey 7q+

This solution needs to be wireless where the CA could run it. The cam operator can't do it in our productions.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Berk

I'd give Lumberjack a look if you're FCPX friendly.

Thanks Nirv
Too bad that their solutions is based on a specific NLE. I was hoping to find a 3rd party recorder we can log wirelessly on the fly.

I don't know if there is anything like this today, but 20 years ago I used to have a product called Shot Logger that ran wirelessy on the Apple Newton. Fantastic product. That thing saved us literally hundreds of hours logging and ingesting (Betacam tapes) over a multi-year project of doing about 90 dental education videos.

The wifi remote that comes with the FS7 gives you the clip name and time-code details (no picture), but no way to mark good takes on the card.

Isn't one of the assignable button items a shot mark? The wifi remote can trigger assignable buttons. So that might be a way to do it.

I've tagged shots good and NG but have been unable to get that metadata to show up in Premiere Pro.

Hey guys
That's great. Can you name the scene files with the remote?

Hi David
Did you find out why you couldn't get the metadata in PP?

There are several "Shot Log" apps for iPad and iPhone perhaps there is one that would work like Shot Logger did.
