## What is Live Timecode Notes?

Take timecode-related notes to the next level. Designed for iOS, this app was developed in collaboration with film industry professionals to create the most productive and easy-to-use tool.

With customizable tags, predefined buttons, and universal colors, this app is designed to speed up the note-taking process during live events or studio recording. Notes can later be exported as PDF or CSV file to create spreadsheets. Or they can be exported as timeline markers for Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer and other post-production applications.

Key features:

- Sync Timecode by using the device camera. Film any display with SMPTE timecode and the project and device will be synced to that time.
- Set timecode to another time zone to comment on remote video stream
- Connect your device to an external clock or timecode generate (for example Tentacle Sync E or Ambient Lockit)
- Export notes as document such as PDF or CSV to generate spreadsheets
- Export notes as timeline markers for film editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Avid Media Composer

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2026-05-22*

I record a lot of loooongform content for training, podcasts, shows, etc. This saves me so much time. I love the ability to scan time code visually and bring the notes in as EDL markers for Resolve. Game changer!

### 3/5 — Super buggy and behind a paywall

*2026-02-28*

Seems okay but it’s too buggy to use

### 4/5 — Nice

*2025-03-30, version 1.0.3*

Looks amazing and very well made. I will definitely use this. Timecode input via external LTC would be the icing on the cake, allowing the app to be used with other timecode systems like ACN, that don’t support Bluetooth as far as I know. Or maybe something could be worked out using the camera and text recognition to “jam” timecode from pointing the camera at an Timecode display?

### 5/5 — Lifesaver 🌟

*2025-03-27, version 1.0.2*

This is a huge time and live saver on set when you need to make quick notes that efficiently translate into post production!
