is there a ‘Powerlog’ software for FCP?
Something that can log tapes and tranlate info into a FCP log. I know you can do it from FCP; but we only have 1 license, and want to do it from another laptop across the country.
Thanks,

There is no logging function in FCE.

Pc users have a wonderful little utility called Scene Analyser Live for capture/preview of DV. Surely there is something similar to MacHeads.
Any offers? I understand Sorensen Squeeze 3 is capable of capturing fcp friendly clips.

I just checked out the software Matthew recommended, and it looks like the real deal.

CatDV is freakin awesome. I had a producer have that on her laptop once. You have to have the more expensive version to output logs for FCP or Avid. Don’t fall for the cheaper version. So unfortunately I think you have to spend $300 or so.
But it does a great job of logging and capturing these little thumbnail movies. Perhaps it can capture full DV but I’m not sure. Anyway, it was a major bonus in the suite. While I was finessing a couple edits, music, VO etc she was looking for the next shot. But instead of looking at a log and asking me to play it, she was looking at a log and checking out a small sized movie on her laptop. So we really didn’t know if the shot would truely work until we tried it in context, but she was able to rule out 90% of the possible choices before asking me to try a shot.
