And for those times when a marker might not be enough, we've got you covered. Swipe right to make a note using one of four customizable presets, or left to write your own note. When you're done, simply export your markers and throw them on a timeline. Dropcode exports to Avid Media Composer and DaVinci Resolve, with support for other NLEs coming soon.
