User reviews

Awesome!

Been using this for indie features, commercial work, music videos, shorts, etc! Loving it, no timecode but that's ok, we got tentacles for that.

Bricked

After uploading a few custom slates, my slate has bricked and can no longer import any more images

I would recommend more if

We must have a way to fix some data on the slate and then just deal with writing the Takes. This is just a MUST… otherwise it’s just a $12 slate

No room for editing

Please make an update where you can edit text on the Slate Template. Not even able to download templates to add it ourselves.

Can’t edit numbers or production title

Why can’t I add text to the slate? I get that fake should be written in but production title and text in general should be much easier to add in the app
