Distraction-free notetaking during screenings. Finally. When you're watching down a cut, you should be paying attention to what's on the screen—not your notepad or phone. With Dropcode, you don't even have to look down. Just tap the bottom of the screen to drop a marker at the current timecode. 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. Addressing cut notes has never been simpler. Never forget what you were thinking during that scene again. Dropcode is an indispensable tool for editors, directors, producers, and executives. FEATURES: ======== - Add markers without looking at your phone - Customizable starting timecode - Frame rate options (24 or 25) - Customizable note presets - Keyboard shortcuts for use with a bluetooth keyboard or programmable button - Export markers by email, iMessage, or Airdrop - Auto-dim the screen on start for a distraction-free viewing experience
