See what's missing. On set.

Every marker, quote and gap sits in one live log while the cameras are still up. If the story needs one more question or a missing cutaway, you know before anyone wraps — not in the edit, three weeks too late.

From the first shoots

Save hours, every shoot.

For me the idea i can mark the quotes as we shoot and editor can see those… but chopping up all those clips saves a lot of time.

Documentary DP
I love how I can brief it, and when I wrap it tells me what I'm missing.

Self-shooting director
On set I just hand it to my client, they mark the takes they like so I can easily find them. It's a life saver in the edit.
