When Eddie logs your footage, the result is a table: what was said, what is on screen, which shots are worth using, and where each of them sits in timecode. The CSV is that table as a file, ready for a spreadsheet, a producer, or anything that reads columns.

Opens in: Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, Numbers, anything that reads CSV.

Questions

Can it go straight into Google Sheets?
Yes. The same export offers a Google Sheet destination as well as a downloaded file, so the logs arrive in your Drive without a download-and-upload round trip.
What is the difference between the CSV and the Word document?
The CSV is data for a spreadsheet — one row per item, built for sorting and filtering. The Word document is written to be read, which is what you want when the logs are going to a producer or a client.
Does this include B-roll as well as interviews?
Yes. A-roll soundbites and B-roll descriptions both come through.
