Adding Notes and Marking Good Shots
As you are logging, you may want to add notes to the clip. If you think the current clip
is worth capturing, or if you at least want to remember that you considered it useful for
your project, you can mark it as Good. These notes and marks can help you later on as
you assemble your program.
To enter logging notes for a clip
µ
In the Log Note field, enter comments and editorial notes about the clip.
Control-click this field to choose from a list of recent Log Note comments in the current
project.
To mark a clip as a good shot
µ
Select the Good checkbox.
If you select this checkbox, a checkmark appears in the Good column of the Browser. This
is helpful if you want to log every shot on all of your tapes, but mark only a few shots for
capture. Later, in the Browser, you can use the Good property to sort and search clips.
Confirming Your Logging Information
Before you log a clip, you can choose to have Final Cut Pro confirm the clip name, Log
Note, and Good property before the clip is logged.
To have Final Cut Pro verify that the name and logging information is correct
µ
Select the Prompt checkbox next to the Name field.
