Problem. Keeping takes organised for shot-by-shot work. Conditions. Take Recorder panel open. Method. Set slate name, take number, description, fps and Record Speed; record via the red button, stop with Esc. The pending take is a Level Sequence; sources record into a subsequence (colour-coded per source); Takes Browser lists saved takes with metadata in column view; Review Last Recording opens the result; Root Take Save Dir and Take Save Dir use {take}/{slate} tokens; auto-save keeps sequences and subscenes. Failure modes. Reusing a take number triggers a warning (click to jump to next number); unsaved assets are lost. Limitations. How a take is placed into a Level Sequence with Shots is not shown in this page. Version/date. Current page as fetched.

Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Limitations: The auto-save sentence's exact setting name was not captured; shot assembly in a Shots track is inferred from sibling pages, not this source. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
