Brollr for BlackBox Global vs Border Pro

Brollr is a free companion app for BlackBox Global stock footage contributors. Prep your clips on iPhone or iPad and upload them to BlackBox over FTP, with the technical requirements handled for you. AI keywording is an optional paid add-on, and the free prep-and-upload workflow works without it. FREE TO PREP AND UPLOAD Preparing clips to BlackBox requirements and getting them onto the portal is free forever. Drop in a clip from your photo library, trim it, and Brollr converts the frame rate, strips the audio, exports at BlackBox-accepted specs, and uploads over TLS. A PICKER MADE FOR STOCK FOOTAGE Filter your library by landscape or portrait, hold a clip to play a preview, and swipe across clips to select several at once. Clips that BlackBox will not accept are marked with the reason before you import them, and you can see which clips need to be downloaded from iCloud first. BUILT FOR BLACKBOX REQUIREMENTS Brollr re-encodes your clips to BlackBox's spec automatically: supported frame rates from 23.98 to 60 fps with NTSC and integer families handled separately, audio stripped, duration trimmed to 5–59 seconds, size limits enforced, 4K and HD with HDR preserved or converted to SDR. iPhone footage is usually recorded at a variable frame rate, which BlackBox rejects. Brollr converts it to a constant supported frame rate, so your iPhone clips pass review. SLOW MOTION, DONE RIGHT Shot at 60 or 59.94 fps and want to deliver slow motion? Brollr knows which slow-down rates are valid for your source (NTSC stays with NTSC, integer stays with integer) and offers only the ones that keep every frame. The result is true native slow motion that BlackBox will accept. BATCH UPLOAD VIA FTP Connect once with your BlackBox FTP credentials and upload the whole batch to portal.blackbox.global over TLS. Tap Upload and set the device down. OPTIONAL: AI KEYWORDING Titles, descriptions, and keywords are the most tedious part of contributing. Brollr has an optional AI that watches your clip and generates a title, a description, keywords, and a filename in seconds. You get 5 free credits every month, and a subscription adds more volume. The free prep-and-upload workflow works without it. YOUR WORKFLOW 1. Import and trim your footage (free) 2. Upload to BlackBox via FTP (free) 3.

Border Pro is the photographer’s tool for adding beautiful, precise borders to your photos — whether you shoot on iPhone, mirrorless, or film. Built for people who care about their images, Border Pro preserves your EXIF data on every save. Your camera model, lens, focal length, aperture, shutter speed and date all stay intact. BORDERS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Borders are calculated as a percentage of your image, so they stay perfectly consistent across every aspect ratio and resolution — from a phone snap to a 102MP medium format file. PRINT YOUR SHOOTING DATA Turn on Metadata Print and your camera data is printed directly onto your border — just like a lab print. Choose from 20 fonts including elegant scripts, classic serifs and clean sans-serifs. Set the colour to auto or pick any custom colour. Print on any edge — bottom, top, left or right — with the weighted border following automatically. COLOUR BORDERS Choose from curated classic tones, vibrant presets, or sample any colour directly from your photo using the built-in eyedropper with magnifier loupe. Save up to 6 custom colours for quick access. SHAPE YOUR BORDERS Control each corner independently — from fully rounded to square, mixed, or anything between. Create arches, D-shapes and compositions that are entirely your own. SOCIAL MEDIA READY Export to Instagram square, portrait, landscape or Story/TikTok formats with a single tap. Preview the canvas before you save. EXPORT YOUR WAY Choose JPEG, HEIC or lossless PNG. Set your own quality level. Your images, your format. EVERYTHING ELSE • White, black and custom colour borders • Double border with custom keyline colour — black, white, or any colour • Weighted border on any edge for that classic print look • Save up to 10 named profiles, synced to iCloud • Batch export up to 100 photos at once • Works completely offline • Saves to a dedicated Border Pro album in Photos VIDEO SUPPORT Photos and videos, treated the same way. Add gallery-style borders without cropping, compression, or loss of quality. Border Pro is for photographers who want their images to look considered, not filtered.
