Great idea, poorly implemented.

This App really needs an overhaul.

Essential for doc makers

This app is an essential part of my documentary workflow! It allows me to take large swaths of screening with me where ever I go, mark it up and then put the markers back on the stringout timelines in my edit suite. Paired with cut notes allows for massive days of screening without stopping the playhead to make marks. I would hazard to guess that this makes me about 30x more effective per day.

Great for marking up video

I use this app to mark up hockey videos I record of my son’s travel hockey team. I export the markers, through email, to a server that creates clips based on the markers using Python scripts. The main thing I’d love to see is keyboard shortcuts to create a marker, jump between markers, play/pause, and and go frame by frame as I use my iPad Pro to film and mark them up.

It's the start of something useful

It's a nice start, but there are a few interface bugs (like video starts playing when you close the settings screen). The big disappointment (and huge part of the reason I bought it) is to mark up videos and notes for a review for the editor. You can add markers… but you can't label them or add a note. What's the point? We need to be able to add a marker, call up a keyboard, label it, and add notes. Later, we need to have list level access to the marker titles (to jump around), and to be able to export them (timecode, title & note) for the editor to use. Even better would be the ability to import an exported marker list and merge it with other exported lists from the same video so all comments can be in a single place in relation to the video being reviewed.
