## What is DigiSlate?

DigiSlate is a modern, free digital slate / clapperboard for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.  DigiSlate uses either a swipe across the board or the volume buttons on your device to clap the board.  This allows you to keep your hands well out of the way when the slate claps.  DigiSlate uses the whole screen for the clappers for easier sync on smaller devices.

Features
- Full screen clapper board - works great on smaller phones for easier sync in post
- Music Mode (in-app purchase) syncs music from your local library or right from your inbox and changes speed in real-time!
- Counts in frames and supports regular and drop frame timecodes... or enter your own
- Edit every title on the slate to fully customise DigiSlate to work best for you
- Save and Load Slates - re-entering details for different shoots is history
- Swipe across or use the volume buttons to clap the board
- Double tap the text on the board to edit the slate
- Drag up and down (or double tap) on Slate, Roll, Scene, Take, FPS and Camera to change
- Two finger drag up and down on Scene for USA format (4A, $B, 4C etc)
- Date and Time come straight from your device so no need to enter manually
- Take will go green to indicate that the board has been clapped, and can auto-increment
- Choose either a traditional black slate or white clapperboard
- Time of day, shoot time (to 1/100th second) for reference or Scene Name L.E.D. style display.  Now shows Shoot Timecode as well.
- 4 different sounds for sync - Clap, Beep (1kHz tone), White Noise or Pip (1 frame 1khz tone for SyncOne2 and Multi-Camera sync checking
- Sync Mode run flash/beep cycle for Multi-Cam shoots or general audio video sync checking
- Auto Take auto-increments the Take each clap the board
- Triple Clap option to clap the slate 3 times for easier sync in noisy environments

No more fiddling around with small on-screen buttons or awkward user interfaces - DigiSlate is easy to use even on the smaller display of an iPhone/iPod Touch and looks fantastic on the larger screen of your iPad and simply stunning on the iPad Pro.

### 2/5 — Can’t hear the clap and can’t change volume

*2024-10-21, version 1.95*

Downloaded it, set up frame rates and how to alter text, worked out how to clap… but it’s really quiet, so no chance of a neck mic picking it up and having read through the (very hard to find) instructions, it just says that the system will control the volume and I don’t seem to be able to turn it up at all?!  Useless, and pretty embarrassing in front of a client.

### 5/5 — Digislate is a nice app

*2023-11-24, version 1.95*

You can do different sounds of the digislate in settings in this app

### 3/5 — Good app but some improvements could be made

*2023-10-01, version 1.95*

The overall functionality of the slate is good and there is a built in quick manual / information screen on how to use the app, but there are a couple major flaws which could  be easily addressed by the developer. There is no way to increase the volume of the clap from inside the app. i had to exit the app and go to another app with sound and increase the volume to maximum. After doing this I could go back to the app and get the clap at full volume of the ipad. The clap can be initiated via volume buttons but use of the lower volume button will lower the volume of the clap, but the reverse for the increase volume button is not so repeatedly have to exit the app and find some other clip with volume to reset. The scene increment only seems to work with a single finger swipe through integer numbers and not as the app says to two finger swipe to do number letter scene increments. Lastly, the timecode display option will only do 100ths of a second in time of day mode. It will do frames in the timecode, but there is no option to set the time of day with frames. Again, this is not ties to any real master timecode generator so the frames would not be accurate anyhow. Instead of using the volume buttons to avoid the changing volume issue is possible by swiping across the screen to initiate the clap, but getting your hand in front of the slate when clapping is just bad technique.

### 5/5 — AMAZING APP with a very tiny flaw

*2021-08-01, version 1.95*

This app is everything i needed and more but syncing audio is hard with the clap vanishing the second it claps. If it remained on screen for a second after the clap it would make it a thousand times easier for audio syncing. That is really my only pet peeve with it and I use it daily on the film sets that I am apart of. I have recommended it to a few of my friends and even the directors have said it has sped up production with us no longer having to find an EXPO marker.

### 3/5 — Decent

*2021-07-22, version 1.95*

Not very intuitive for such a simple app.
Also I am unable to control the volume of the slate.
Soft clap is inaudible

### 1/5 — Could be useful but don’t pay for it

*2021-05-15, version 1.95*

I paid but still have adds. Will not restore purchases. When reinstalled still does not. Also makes no sound. Shame as it works well apart from that.

### 4/5 — Great app, Music mode could use adjusting

*2020-11-30, version 1.95*

Please display the music cue timecode as soon as the cue is selected, not just when the clap is triggered. With music videos, there is not enough time to leave the slate in the shot, so we need to see the cue timecode way before the clap.

### 5/5 — Love simplicity and details

*2020-11-22, version 1.95*

It’s definitely worth it for video productions and especially indie work

### 5/5 — Great simple app that is very customisable.

*2020-11-03, version 1.95*

Please add setting to turn off “clapper” by volume button. After clapping, I usually turn down the volume on my phone, and this sometimes accidentally triggers it. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Some things don’t work

*2020-10-17, version 1.95*

If you make more than 1 project with the same name, even if you edit the second one, after visiting the main screen it reverts back to the original you duplicated. So you can’t save multiple slates with different scene names but with the same project name.

Edit: actually the system is all kinds of messed up, you can’t save multiple slates. They all default to the first one. Deleting them causes issues too.

Also if you click the + to go to the project selection, you can only click the create new project button before touching anything, if you scroll your projects, the create new button greys out and you can’t click it, so you have to go into a project and leave again and not touch anything.
