Word document.docx
Some logs are for you and some are for other people. The Word export is the second kind: your A-roll logs laid out as a document a producer, client or director can read straight through, rather than a table they have to interpret.
Opens in: Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Pages, anything that reads .docx.
What it carries
Worth reading before you export rather than after you import.
- Carries it:Soundbites and quotes
- Carries it:Timecode
- Carries it:Document formatting— written to be read, not parsed
- Does not carry it:B-roll descriptions— the Word export is A-roll; take the CSV for B-roll

Questions
- Can it go straight to Google Docs?
- Yes. The export offers a Google Doc destination alongside the downloaded file, so it arrives in your Drive ready to share.
- Why is B-roll not in the Word document?
- The Word export covers A-roll. If you need B-roll descriptions, take the CSV, which carries both.
- Can I get this into a spreadsheet instead?
- Take the CSV or the Google Sheet — same logs, built for sorting and filtering rather than reading.
