Captain's Log

Captain's Log for Premiere Pro turns your footage into a professional, client-ready PDF or CSV field report in seconds. Target your selected clips, specific bins, or your entire project, choose exactly which metadata matters, fill in the crew member info, and generate a report. What used to be an afternoon of digging through the Project panel and copy-pasting into a template is now a single click.

Built for DIT’s, editors, and post-production administrators who need accurate, shareable records of the footage from the field. Dailies reports, camera logs, client deliverables, archive documentation, and production paperwork. If you've ever had to hand off a list of what's actually in a project, this is the tool you have been waiting for.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT?

Captain's Log gives you real control over how your report looks. Every detail you can think of can be customized to build a design that looks exactly the way you want it. Pick a layout, a font group, page orientation, a light or dark mode, and a thumbnail style, then choose exactly which metadata fields make the cut. Save any setup as a reusable layout you can pull up on your next project. Better yet, it all happens inside Premiere Pro itself. No separate app, no browser, no uploading footage anywhere. Captain's Log reads your project the moment you select a clip, a bin, or a whole timeline, using the tool you already know.
