If you are looking for a blank reproducible video log sheet, you have found it!
Strange as it may seem today, the paper video log sheet still has a place in the video production process. There have been several times in recent years that raw video material needed to be logged and nothing but a paper video log sheet would do.
Years ago, I had made my own video log sheet that had the frames filled in with light gray zeros. I did this for clients who wanted to log their own material. I found that without the frames pre-filled, I would get logs back from clients with inconsistent alignment of the timecode numbers — some items they logged including the frames, while other items would not be logged to the frame level, but they would have put seconds in the frames column and hours in the minutes column. The zeros in the frames column prevented this confusion and indicated that there was no need to log to frame accuracy.
As we switched over to chip cameras, my old video log sheet was no longer working for me. Reels became rarely relevant and I needed a place for the clip name. I have now been using this video log sheet for about two years and it has served me well.
It’s a pretty simple matter to create a video log sheet but it does take some time to do it. So why not just download my updated version for free? Find it on the Video Production Costs and Resources page.
