Good App but gets stuck

It’s seems good so far but it gets stuck from time to time trying to upload videos that may be over a minute long. I’ve must of deleted and reinstalled this app now going over 6 times in less than two days. Other than this slight issue that needs improvement, I do plan on continuing to use the app as I find it good to get your feet wet and be more professional in the field. Thanks.

Hi Edquado, thanks for the review! Hmmm... When you say upload, do you mean import or Compiling a tape? Please drop us a line at support@slatable.com so we can get you sorted!

Add this feature!

I LOVE this app, but if you could add 1 thing, it will be even better!!
For the recorded audio, give us the option of tweaking the voice lower or higher. The app “Line Learner” does that (selection in “characters”). Then the reader doesn’t sound like me. It’s such a simple addition.

Also why is the video not as good as video without being in the app? Your app somehow reduces the quality & it’s not the end compression because my slates that I import come out fine after compressed. It’s a huge, noticeable difference between the quality of my slate & the quality of my audition - both shot with the same camera, just the slate is filmed without the app & then imported to the app.

Hi Jeanine, Thanks for your review and constructive feedback! It's definitely something we can look into. We optimize videos to have smaller file sizes for fast downloading, so we export under 720p. This is preferred by most casting directors. You might notice a difference in your video shot in portrait as it’s squeezing what would be a wide video into a smaller height (as it’s rotated). Hope that make sense! Also make sure you’re watching the videos at their native size, rather than in a bigger window. But please do email us support@Slatable.com so we can see what’s going on!

Ok

It’s a really good app but the only problems I had with it was u can only shoot landscape, you can’t take pics and to get everything you have to pay to get the upgrade

Thanks for your review. We only allow landscape video as shooting an audition in portrait is frowned upon. We created Slatable to help actors look as professional as possible so every decision we make is from that ethos. You can add a full-body slate in portrait, and also your headshots to the title cards if you upgrade to the Pro version, which does cost a little bit but also makes sure we can continue developing great features for Slatable!

Works great but flips the image.

Works like it is supposed to. But you need to edit on a laptop to make the image go back to normal.

Doesn’t work

After you save the audition tape the videos are black, just sound...!! Waste of money ;(

Needs Works

Exports in only 360p. There should be more export options for higher quality video. I paid for the pro version and expected the ability to adjust fade times, but you can only toggle them on or off. It crashed several times. With one of the crashes, it was after a take was recorded, but before saving, so we lost the take and had to re-shoot. Disappointed after paying $15! 😡

Please contact us at support@slatable.com, and we'd be happy to answer any questions or concerns you have with the app. For video file size, we make sure all our features are casting director approved. One major request is small file sizes, so we've made sure the files are a size that is optimum for watching and downloading as per casting director feedback. Hope that helps!

ALL MY TAKES WERE DELETED

So this is the THIRD time this has happened with Slatable. I did 5-6 takes for an audition that had a quick turnaround. I go to then create another scene for my slate and when I go to compile the audition video the takes I did are GONE (like all of them). Then with barely 30 minutes to spare I had to do it all over again through the normal camera app and had to then edit it myself.

I’m sure most actors can relate in that the WORST thing that can happen when you’re taping an audition is for you to get the take you’re happy with, only for it to be DELETED. My stress level was through the roof. An app that’s supposed to help me, made things awful. I ended up having to submit a take that I wasn’t happy with just to submit something before the deadline.

I used to love this app because it was helpful and saved me time (by not having to worry about editing/adding a title page, agent contact info, etc), but this totally ruins it if it can’t seem to keep the most important part (the actual audition). OH and I have the premium version of the app (paid for it a while ago).

So word to the developers: PLEASE fix this.
And to fellow actors: BEWARE! And if you’re set on using the app, make sure to save each take onto your phone before going onto the next take/scene because saving it within the app obviously doesn’t work every time.

Needs better export quality

Great product but seems to export in a low res and doesn’t offer any option to change. Makes a small file but video looks low quality.

Thanks for using Slatable and your review. We appreciate your feedback! We based all our app decisions on casting director requests and therefore optimized the video size for faster up and downloads on mobile devices. If you know casting directors who have different requirements feel free to reach out to us with those specifications and we will look into it. You can reach us at support@slatable.com.

Useless

Never able to access camera to even try a take. Kept getting screen that said Rotate Camera. Help instructions were of no help. I may be overlooking some obvious fix but I tried 20 things to access camera and couldn’t.
