Rushes Logs combine the details of many rushes into a log which can be exported to a Word document (.docx).
The log consists of several media (video and audio) files and is displayed in two columns - the left column being the file name of the media, and the right column being the meta data of the media (description, tags, transcription, etc).
When the transcript information is brought in, it can be grouped into segments of a certain maximum length for each speaker - this is specified when adding media to the log.
You will notice that there are two time codes included in the rushes log:
12:35:14.88 (0:00:04.88) - Speaker name - transcribed text here…
The first time code is the actual time of day the footage was recorded and the second (in brackets) is the time since the beginning of the media. Sometimes the time of day information is not automatically included in the original footage; in this case to two time codes will be the same. You can edit the start date/time in the media item.
