Stop scribbling down timecode. Stop pausing the movie to jot a note. And no more gathering 1000 emails with feedback lists after screenings. Screening Notes Pro is built for live screenings — when picture is rolling and you can’t (or won’t) stop. Enter feedback yourself, or gather it from the room, all locked to the same clock. Then get it straight into your software. SOLO, CUTTING ROOM, OR FULL HOUSE One list for you. Or share a QR / link. From four people in the cutting room to a theater full of test subjects: they’re all writing on the same running clock. CAMERA SYNC — LOCK TO PICTURE Point your camera at on-screen timecode and sync in a tap. No typing frames. Your notes stay with the movie while it plays. Pause and resync any time TAGS, FILTER, EXPORT Mark what matters. Filter by tag or person. Export to Avid, Premiere, Resolve, and more — your tags become markers in the edit. Feedback in. Markers out. APPLE WATCH Tap notes from your wrist with the phone locked and in your pocket. Dark room friendly. Not a review platform. Not a place to park cuts. It’s for when the lights are down and the film doesn’t stop. FREE TO TRY Unlimited solo lists. Two hosted group sessions (up to 24 hours each). One export a week. Unlock more when you need it.
