A storage and bandwidth calculator for video and audio media files. StorageCalculator is a simple way to calculate the storage and bandwidth required to store your footage. The app contains data on a wide array of professional codecs, including ProRes, XAVC, DNxHR and RedCode. The data rate chooser helps you to estimate the data rate required to fit a video of a certain duration into a file of a certain size - for example creating an MP4 which has to fit onto a pen drive.

Catch the best moments while you shoot. Find them again the second you start editing. Earwig Marker is for filmmakers who shoot a lot and cut later. Tap, or just say the word, to catch a strong moment as it happens. Earwig transcribes what was said and drops a timecode-accurate marker. Back at your desk, those markers build themselves into an edit-ready timeline in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro. THE PROBLEM You shoot for hours. The best line, the take you'll use, the shot you'll need later. Then it all disappears onto a card, and finding it again eats the first day of every edit. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set up your buttons. One tap for a highlight, a good take, a cutaway, or build your own. 2. Shoot your day. Tap when something good happens, or set a keyword and say it out loud to mark hands-free. Hold In and Out to capture a whole clip, and Earwig sums up what was said in it. 3. Open Earwig Sync on your Mac. Your markers build into a timeline in Resolve or Premiere, lined up with your footage, ready to cut. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Earwig transcribes while you shoot, so every marker carries the words actually spoken, not just a timecode. Name a speaker once and the name stays across the whole transcript. And Earwig Sync, the free Mac app, lines your markers up to your camera's audio, so each one lands on the exact frame. You open your edit and the good bits are already found and laid down. That's hours of logging and searching gone. You start where you used to finish. WHO IT'S FOR Documentary makers, interviewers, podcasters, multicam and solo shooters. Anyone who shoots more than they can remember and cuts in Resolve or Premiere. WHAT YOU GET - A tap, or your own voice, to catch a moment while you shoot - Custom buttons and colours for takes, cutaways, strong moments and more - In and Out to mark a clip, with a summary of what was said - Live transcription, so every marker carries the actual quote - Speaker names kept across the whole transcript - Timecode-accurate markers, lined up with your footage - A free Mac app that builds your markers into a Resolve or Premiere timeline - No timecode box, no extra hardware - Works with the camera and edit software you already use Built by a filmmaker who was tired of losing the best moment in the edit. Start with a free month. Mark your next shoot and watch the edit take shape before you've touched a clip. Earwig Sync is a free companion app for Mac.
