HD Log is an organizational tool, built for Mac OS X, that can be used to quickly index and catalog video from RS422 decks, FireWire devices, or QuickTime media files in preparation for editing, archiving or sharing.

Here are some key features of "HD Log":
"VIDEO ASSIST": Auto-digitize QuickTime preview clips from CamCorders on the fly (Silver&Gold versions)--instant mirrored playback on video monitor.
FCP Background Loader: Don't tie up your NLE to digitize clips, let HD Log do the mundane work and pass the QT files with names and notes via XML ready to edit.
Transcribe: Type in long descriptions and notes (unlimited text fields).
Customized templates: Log the data YOU want, in the style you want. Design your own templates.
Print:  Create storyboards or a concise table of thumbnails and data.
Search:  Field specific, complex or simple searching helps you identify clips or text--fast!
Designate the best shots: Mark just the clips you want to output or print.
File Sharing: Log files are easily searched and passed between all your producers and editors.
Save time and disk space: Directly controls RS422 or FireWire decks or cameras.
Field Logging: Grab timecode right off the camera with a portable USB Timecode Reader.
Automated index: High speed clip detection for DV tapes, QT files or from analog streams.
Compatibility: Your logs work with any NLE editor (FCP, Avid, Media100, Accom, Adobe...)

Limitations:
Exports, file saving and printing are limited to 10 clips.
