What are Lumi Logs? 

Lumi Logs are live, multi-user logs that enable you to attach notes to a Card with automatic time codes (time of day). They are a key feature of Lumi designed to help the field team deliver through to post. 

Field producers can tag and log live as they shoot. Logs are exportable to Avid, they are colour codable, and every single word is searchable.

Your post team can instantly find what they are looking for in the Lumi library, by searching a key word, rather than having to wade through the rushes.

Enable Logs Feature

Logs are a feature that must first be enabled in Project Settings before they can be used. 

Go to Project Settings:

1. Click your avatar on the bottom-left to see the User menu.

2. Select "Project Settings".

3. Scroll down on the Project Settings page until you see the "Logs Feature". If it's not already enabled (blue), switch it to enabled.

4. Click "Save" on the top-right.

Create a Log

Now that you've enabled the Logs feature, you can create a Log. Logs are attached to Lumi Cards. 

1. Open the Card you wish to create a Log for, and click the three dotsin the top-right corner, then select "New Log".

Or, open the Logs tab, and then click "Add Log".

The "Add Log to Card" dialog will open. 

2. Enter the following details:

Name: Enter a relevant name for your Log. 

Date: Defaults to today. You can change the date by clicking the calendar icon on the right.

Timezone: Defaults to the Project's timezone (as per Project Settings). You can edit the Log timezone by clicking in the field and selecting the relevant timezone.

Shortcuts: You can create shortcuts which will display as buttons at the top of your Log. This allows you to simply click the buttons to quickly add a comment. It allows for consistency of comments so you can easily find what you are looking for. You can also filter your log by shortcuts.

Enter the name of your first Shortcut, and give it a colour (optional). 

Click "+" button to add additional Shortcuts.

Save as default Shortcuts: You have the option to only create the shortcuts for this Log, or to select "Save as default Shortcuts". Saving as default will save the shortcuts to the Project, so they will be at the top of every Log created for the Project. Default shortcuts can still be edited at any time.

Cameras: You can add cameras to your Log by clicking the downward arrow to expand the options, and selecting the relevant cameras.

You can choose to use either letters or numbers to represent your cameras.

Use Letters: Toggle on (blue) to use letters, or toggle off (grey) to use numbers.

3. Click "Add & Open" to start logging. 

Go to "Start Logging" below for more information about logging.

Create Default Shortcuts

Another way to create your default shortcuts is in Project Settings. 

1. Click your avatar on the bottom-left to see the User menu.

2. Select "Project Settings".

3. Scroll down on the Project Settings page until you see the "Logs Feature". If Logs are not already enabled, slide the toggle to "Enabled".

4. Click the downward arrow to expand the Logs Feature.

5. Enter the name of your first Shortcut, and give it a colour (optional). 

6. Click the "+" button to add additional Shortcuts.

7. Click "Save".
