Capturing or transferring footage to a drive. Timecode (electronic frame counts) helps keep track of ______ footage.

• A. Imported
• B. Logged
• C. Rendered
• D. Archived

Answer: (B)

Timecode gives a precise, frame-by-frame timestamp for every piece of footage as it’s captured or transferred, and that timestamp is used when you log what you have. Logging involves recording details like scene, take, camera, and notes so you can find and assemble the exact frames you need during editing. Because timecode provides that consistent, searchable reference across clips, it’s the key tool for keeping track of logged footage. The other terms describe different stages or states of footage (importing, rendering, archiving) but don’t capture the ongoing organization and identification that logging with timecode enables.
