Edit rough cuts 4x faster by marking moments while filming. »The biggest workflow upgrade since keyboard shortcuts. We've spent years shaving seconds off our edits. This one saves hours.« Marker for Creators is the best way for videographers, podcasters, and content teams to speed up a video rough cuts. Stop rewatching hours of footage. Set highlights while filming via your iPhone or Apple Watch - directly into your editing timeline. Perfect for long sessions, events, interviews, podcasts, and multi-camera shoots. While shooting, you notice great moments all the time. A reaction. A highlight. A take you defenitely know you will use. Or you know you’ll have to cut out.

Telestrator Draw turns your iPad into a wireless drawing surface for your live service or event. Pair the app to your Telestrator session, and whatever you draw on the iPad appears instantly on your main screens — over your slides, lyrics, scripture, photos, and videos. Built for churches and live productions where a pastor or presenter wants to circle a word, underline a verse, or sketch an idea on the graphics the room is already watching, no cables, no separate tablet display, no production booth. HOW IT WORKS • Open the app and scan the pairing QR code (or type the 6-character code) shown on your Telestrator control screen. • Draw with Apple Pencil or your finger. Pen and highlighter, multiple colors and sizes, undo, and one-tap clear. • Your strokes stream live to the audience output in real time. • Freeze or play background video, follow slide changes automatically, and clear with a smooth fade between thoughts. REQUIRES A TELESTRATOR ACCOUNT This app is the drawing companion to Telestrator Live. You'll need an active account at app.telestrator.live (free trial available) and a running control session to pair with. Subscriptions are managed on the web — there is no in-app purchase. Apple Pencil recommended. Works on iPad and iPhone.
