Daily Shooting Report

The Daily Shooting Report is the camera and sound department's end-of-day record for a shoot: which cameras rolled, how many cards were shot and in what codec, the color space / resolution / frame rates, the sound rolls and tracks, timecode, and notes. It lives on an opt-in tab inside a project, uses the same cloud-synced records as the Data Management tool, and can be downloaded as a PDF or emailed.

Turning on the tab

The tab is off by default (like Contracts and Insurance). To enable it:

Open a project.
Open the project's overflow / Configure Tabs menu.
Tick Daily Shooting Report.

Creating a report

Each report covers one shoot day.

Open the Daily Shooting Report tab.
Choose the shoot date and select New shoot day.
Fill in cameras, cards, sound, timecode, and notes. Every field is optional — a report with only a date is valid.

The shoot-day number is computed automatically from the date, and changes save as you leave each field.

What you can record

Per camera — body/model, codec, resolution, sensor mode, aspect ratio, anamorphic squeeze, project + sensor frame rates, shutter, ISO/EI, white balance, tint, ND, color space, gamma, LUT/look, lens.
Cards per camera — label/reel, size (GB), clip count, duration (min), scenes, source path, and a per-card codec (an override of the camera codec, for the card that was shot differently). The card count answers "how many cards were shot". When the app copies a card itself, the clip count is filled in for you; type it in for a card copied with Offshoot or by hand. Scenes is free text — 12-14, 18pt and 104A/B are both fine — and duration accepts fractions, so a 3.5-minute reel is 3.5.
Backup status per card — read from the offload records the copy tool writes, matched to the card by its label. Not typed, and not editable. See Backup status below.
Timecode (per camera) — TC start/end, rate, drop-frame, sync method and source device.
Sound — recorder, sound roll, sound card, sample rate, bit depth, file format, per-track label + routing, sync method/source, jam TC, and sound timecode.
Sound cards — the sound cards recorded in Data Management (S001, S002 …) are listed in the Sound section with their card label and reel number. This is separate from the free-text "Sound Card" field above, which you still type yourself; both appear.
Header & crew — unit, location, DoP, sound mixer, DIT, operator, 1st/2nd AC, and daily notes.
Totals — cameras, cards, and total data size, computed automatically.

Backup status

Each card can show whether the footage on it has actually been copied and checksum-verified. This is not something you type — it is read from the offload records the Offshoot copy hook writes, matched to your card by its label:

What it says	What it means
Verified · 2	A completed copy with no verification issues, on 2 distinct drives.
Checksum issue · 3	The copy finished but 3 files failed verification.
Copy failed	The copy did not complete.
Copying	A copy is queued or running.
No copy recorded	This day has offloads, but none for this card.
Unknown	The card has no label, so it cannot be matched.

If no offload has ever been linked to that shoot day, the Backup column does not appear at all — not in the tab and not in the PDF. That is deliberate rather than a gap. A blank cell would read as "not verified", and a card nobody copied through this app is a completely different thing from a card that failed its checksum. The report will not make a claim it cannot support, in either direction: "Verified" requires a completed copy carrying no verification issues, and nothing else earns it.

Offload records arrive from the Offshoot copy hook through cloud sync. If you have never used it, you will not see this column, and nothing is wrong.

Shot coverage

If the report's date matches a shoot day on the project's Schedule, the report shows a Shot coverage section: scenes covered, shots done / cancelled / still open, total takes, planned versus actual minutes, a per-scene table, a per-camera breakdown, the day's time blocks, and every on-set and per-take note the crew wrote in Shoot Mode.

It is read live from the Schedule and never stored on the report, so it cannot drift from what was actually ticked off. The same figures appear in the downloaded PDF, underneath the camera section. Nothing here is editable — the Schedule tab is where a shot gets checked off.

Auto-sync with Data Management

Reports are the same records the Data Management DIT tool uses:

A report created in the tab appears in Data Management's session history — and vice-versa.
Everything cloud-syncs with your account, so a second device sees the same reports.
Reports are private to you as the project owner.

Download & email

Download PDF saves the report as a Shooting Day Report PDF.
Each camera prints a card table: Reel · Source · Codec · Clips · Size. The Codec and Clips columns appear only when at least one of that camera's cards carries the value, so a report that records neither keeps the shorter three-column table.
Send… uploads the PDF and emails a link to recipients you pick from the project's contacts (or an address you type).

If report email hasn't been enabled for your server yet, Download PDF always works.

On a phone

The report is a long form, and below 640 px each field is sized to the value it holds rather than to a fixed column count.

Camera metadata and timecode — codec, resolution, sensor mode, colour space, gamma, LUT, lens and the two timecodes take the full width; the short ones (aspect, squeeze, frame rates, shutter, ISO, white balance, tint, ND) pair up two-to-a-row. Before this, every field shared a 99 px cell and the longer values were cut off mid-string — a timecode lost its last frame digit.
Cards — card/reel, codec and source path take the row; size and clip count share one.
Sound — recorder, the sync fields and the timecodes take the row; roll, card, sample rate, bit depth, file format and TC rate pair up.
Sound tracks — label and routing sit side by side.

From 640 px up the layout is unchanged.

Notes

The report PDF may contain crew names and source paths. The emailed link points to an unguessable file in your cloud storage — treat it like any shared document link.
The report is the DIT tool's ShootingDay record extended with the full camera/sound/timecode detail; the on-set Data Management workflow (drive prep, offload, verification) is unchanged.
