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 cut.  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. But on a busy set, there’s no time to note something. And syncing notes would be super painful anyways. How cool would it be, to just press a button, which would appear in your editing timeline? That’s exactly what Marker for Creators does. "Editing a sports game used to take me 2 hours. Now I'm done in 30 minutes" – Joshua Schwartz, Sports Videographer CORE FEATUTES: Create Timeline Markers on set: • Add markers with a single tap • Markers are placed onto your video clips instead of onto the timeline (so your markers stay in the correct position in editing) • Add Notes to Markers, visible in your NLE • Lock In/Out Markers • Create Marker Presets for different kind of shoots Timeline Creation • Automatically add video clips to timelines while filming • The Companion app automatically opens up your project with your timelines prebuilt Scan to connect Camera • Scan the timecode of any camera to connect it to Marker for Creators in seconds!
