French term (edited): d�rushage

I think you'll find this has come up before, you should check the glossary for a very full discussion, since it seems to mean different things to different people / contexts.

I can tell you for sure that it is NOT grading! It might help to pin it down if you could tell us what the previous and next stages are in your flow diagram?

Yes, here\'s the previous glossary entry for you to refer to:

If laurem\'s definition is correct, then this would encompass the stages of \'logging\' (= visionner et classement...) and \'rough assembly\' (= sélection)

It depends a bit whether this is documentary or fiction film-making, as production techniques often differ.

Looking at some of the Googles for \'derushing\', it seems clear that this may be being used as a specific term, if your filming project involves digital editing.

Empirically, the term appears to be being used for the stage at which the editor (etc.) selects which takes to upload onto the editing computer (in other words, to minimize storgae requirements).

If this is indeed the usage in your context, then it appears that the neologism \'derushing\' has quite come into common usage, and is the appropriate term to use.

\'grading rushes\' is WRONG-- this refers to a specific technical process, and should NOT be used merely for selection.

either \'logging & selection\', which is an accurate description of the 2 processes involved, or \'rough assembly\', which kind of implies that some actual \'editing\' is taking place (may or may not be the case?)

\'paper edit\' would be a neat way round it, it means the whole process of making initial editing decisions on paper.

\'rough cut\' is not QUITE the same thing; it implies a slightly later stage of editing, where some basic decisions have already been taken, but shots have not yet been fine-trimmed to their finished length.

\"logging rushes\" misses out part of the process --- this might be done by an assistant, it does not necessarily imply any selection process.

I still think your best bet, covering all eventualities and remaining not-too-specific is \'logging and selecting rushes\'; if you HAVE to have a single-word translation, then \'derushing\' is probably best (particularly if it may have some technical relevance, as is increasingly the case with digital).

I repeat that in the old days of film cutting, the \'rough or first assembly\' was NOT strictly the same as a rough-cut or rough edit, though as your colleague so astutely points out, the move over to digital has changed a lot of the old workflow patterns.

It\'s interesting that in all this, everyone seems quite happy to keep the word \'rushes\', which has quite departed from its original (and now redundant!) meaning... probably just reflects the \'rush\' (both meanings!) that always seems to surround anything in the film biz :-)

It might help to find out if you can more about the technical processes involved in this particular production or company, in case the \'dérushage\' here is indeed being used in its new, specific digital meaning...
