What views does ClipLogger have?
The current workspace selector includes Browse, Discover, Reel, Log & Rename, Ingest, and Duplicates. Browse is the media browser; Discover supports finding relevant media; Reel reviews clips as strips or a string-out. Log & Rename contains the structured logging and file-naming work. Ingest handles card copies, while Duplicates groups candidates for review.
What is the Grid for?
Browse the shoot as thumbnails you can hover-scrub. Badges show ratings, flags, color labels, offline status and analysis state. Audio files appear as waveforms you can audition. Your searches and filters narrow the clips shown.
What is Reel mode for?
Watching a day as one strip. Strips layout gives each clip a filmstrip row with hover-peek; String-Out lays the entire filtered set end-to-end as one continuous snake you can scrub like a timeline, with a playhead, bulk-action rails, and jump-to-active. When the order tells the story, export the reel as an FCPXML sequence for your NLE.
What is the Logging workspace for?
Clip-by-clip capture. The Logging tab pairs the player with the Log Card (every field of your palette rendered as rows you fill by keyboard), plus the AI suggestion bar when suggestions are pending. Its sibling tab, Rename Files on Disk, is the batch-rename bench. Use Browse to find and triage, Reel to watch and cull in order, Logging to put words on clips fast.
How does keyboard-first logging work?
Your palette maps physical keys to actions on layers (base, ⇧, ⌘, ⌥, ⌃): a key can stamp a value, pick a select option, add a keyword, or fire several fields at once. A whole modifier layer can be a code-entry surface: hold ⇧, type "72", and the roster resolves it to the athlete's name with an autocomplete HUD as you type. Return accepts the focused AI suggestion, Delete rejects it, ⌘Return confirms everything on the clip.
