A transcript of the day's takes, with the slate's timecode
One session per shooting day, a chapter per stretch, a clip count on the meter, and a CSV the edit can search by timecode. Recorded on the device, nowhere else.
By wrap, the day's dialogue is already text. D-REC records the day as one session, writes every line with its timecode, and seals a chapter every five minutes with a title and a recap so the day reads as a list.
The clip counter counts each roll and prints it in the file's header. Marks and sound notes dropped during the day land on the Resolve timeline as markers by colour.
The transcript exports as a CSV with two timecode columns, time of day and from the slate, so the edit can search the day's dialogue and jump to the frame.
It runs on the laptop at the cart and on the phone in a pocket, and nothing recorded leaves either one.
OPEN D‑RECQuestions people ask
Can one session hold a whole day?
Yes, with Pro. The free deck records ten-minute takes.
How does the editor use it?
Import the EDL for the markers and open the CSV beside the clips; the timecode columns line up with the camera when the slate was typed.
Where is the recording kept?
On the device that recorded it, and nowhere else. Wipe a session and it is gone from the only place it existed.
