Logging explained

Applications this article relates to: Curator Logger


Curator version supported from this article: 3.0


Logging in Curator allows a user to tag and submit notes to sub-clips and bookmarks. These notes are often regarded as "Edit notes" that are written comments, suggestions, feedback on the pacing, sequencing, visual elements, sound, overall narrative structure of the video or instructions provided during the editing process of content. Editors or collaborators may provide specific comments about certain scenes, transitions, or elements that need adjustment or improvement. The goal of edit notes is to enhance the quality and effectiveness of the content by offering constructive feedback. This collaborative process is common in creative industries, including filmmaking, journalism, writing, and other fields where multiple individuals contribute to the creation of a final product.
