Why don more people use logging software?
This is actually a question we hear quite a lot. It really boils down to two things; price and functionality. Most people want a program that is easy to use, simple to learn and won’t cost them so much that they can’t earn their money back quickly. There are a number of logging programs out there today that cost anywhere from $500 to $20,000 and will do just about anything you want. For the average production house or independent producer though, they really only need something that will save them time and money by producing an accurate log and help them maintain a database of all the tapes they have logged. They also don’t have the time to learn a new program that has 500 different options of how to create the “perfect” log files. Most people find that by spending even an hour logging their tapes they have just saved themselves anywhere from $75 to $200.
