Intro to On Set
When the camera rolls, On Set captures what actually happens: which takes you shot on which camera and roll, the lens and exposure, which takes are keepers, and what went wrong. The log builds on the shots you planned, so the camera report at wrap lines up with the shot list.
To open it, click On Set in the sidebar of a project. Footage, the list of camera clips for the edit, sits next to it in the same group.
The log
The Log tab is one table of everything logged on the floor, in shooting order: takes, card changes, and camera events such as a rejam. Each take row shows its slate, camera, roll and clip, timecode, lens, stop and ISO, and its marks. A circled take is a keeper — one the director wants printed. A false take is a start that didn't count. See Log takes.
Planning and logging are two views of the same shots. You plan coverage on the shot list and log takes against it here, and the take counts flow back to the shot list. Shots are read-only on the log, so nobody changes the plan by accident.
Cameras and the slate
The Cameras tab controls the camera bodies on your register. You can link a Blackmagic camera over Bluetooth or the network, then press REC, change settings, or send the slate from any device on the production. See Control cameras remotely.
The digital slate turns a phone or tablet into a full-screen clapperboard that shows the scene, shot, take, and a running timecode. See Use the digital slate.
The report
At wrap, the Report tab runs a wrap check that flags takes missing something the camera report needs, summarizes the day, and exports the camera report as a PDF, a master CSV, and marker files for Resolve, Premiere, and Final Cut. See Check the day and export camera reports.
Setup
The Setup tab holds what every device on the production shares: the camera, roll, sound roll, and lens registers, quick notes, custom fields, calculators, and the production's logging conventions. See Set up logging.
Footage
The Footage page lists the clips that came off the cards. You import a clip sheet or read the camera files, and FilmKit fills the matching takes at the same time. You can export the list for Resolve or Avid. See Import and export footage.
