Print a list of logged P2 clips
Is there any way to print a list of P2 clips that I have logged from the “Log and Transfer” window? I’m working on a doc style edit with over 1000 clips and I would like to keep a paper record of all the clips that I have logged, and then be able to add notes or edit the list when I need to.
I know a lot of editors will make a paper list of all the clips and time codes upon first viewing so it’s easier to keep track of clips and make a paper edit, so to speak. It seems like there would be a simple “print list of logged clips” or something like that, but I can’t seem to find anything of that nature.
Any suggestions?

Hey Will, thanks for the quick response. That is definitely pretty close to what I’m looking for. The only problem is you have to capture the footage to a bin before you can print that list. What I would like to do is log the clips (add a name, notes, etc) in the “Log and Transfer” window and then print that list with time codes and notes. Basically I’m looking for a way to keep track of all the clips on paper so I can narrow down the clips that actually need to be captured later.

You can log your clips using L&T, export a batch list, then open that up in a word processor or spreadsheet and print that. No need to capture the shots before you export & print. And you can sort the different columns in a spreadsheet to create different lists.
I think it’s File>Export>Batch List.

Thanks Arnie, but I must be missing something. The only Batch List I can create is a list of the clips in the browser. If the L&T window is active and I go to file>export>batchlist, the batchlist option is greyed out.
Just so I understand you, are you saying you can name the clips, maybe add Ins & outs and then export a list of those clips before you capture them to the browser? If so, please explain it to me like I’m 8 years old 🙂

When you log clips with Log & Capture, the clips appear in your bin as you log them and before you capture them. You would simply close L&C, then export your batch.
I don’t know if you can do this with L&T. It’s something you’d need to look up in the manual and experiment with.

Thanks again for your time Arnie. Apparently this can not be done with Log and Transfer. I have read the manual, tried experimenting with every option available to the Log and Transfer window, and googled everything I could think of. That was before I even made the original post, which is why I brought my question to the cow.
If anyone else knows of a way to print a list of clips logged in the Log and Transfer window, I’m all ears (or eyes in this case).
This should certainly be a standard feature.. maybe it’s time to make a request.
