Earwig Marker vs LightTemp

Catch the best moments while you shoot. Find them again the second you start editing. Earwig Marker is for filmmakers who shoot a lot and cut later. Tap, or just say the word, to catch a strong moment as it happens. Earwig transcribes what was said and drops a timecode-accurate marker. Back at your desk, those markers build themselves into an edit-ready timeline in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro. THE PROBLEM You shoot for hours. The best line, the take you'll use, the shot you'll need later. Then it all disappears onto a card, and finding it again eats the first day of every edit. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set up your buttons. One tap for a highlight, a good take, a cutaway, or build your own. 2. Shoot your day. Tap when something good happens, or set a keyword and say it out loud to mark hands-free. Hold In and Out to capture a whole clip, and Earwig sums up what was said in it. 3. Open Earwig Sync on your Mac. Your markers build into a timeline in Resolve or Premiere, lined up with your footage, ready to cut. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Earwig transcribes while you shoot, so every marker carries the words actually spoken, not just a timecode. Name a speaker once and the name stays across the whole transcript. And Earwig Sync, the free Mac app, lines your markers up to your camera's audio, so each one lands on the exact frame. You open your edit and the good bits are already found and laid down. That's hours of logging and searching gone. You start where you used to finish. WHO IT'S FOR Documentary makers, interviewers, podcasters, multicam and solo shooters. Anyone who shoots more than they can remember and cuts in Resolve or Premiere. WHAT YOU GET - A tap, or your own voice, to catch a moment while you shoot - Custom buttons and colours for takes, cutaways, strong moments and more - In and Out to mark a clip, with a summary of what was said - Live transcription, so every marker carries the actual quote - Speaker names kept across the whole transcript - Timecode-accurate markers, lined up with your footage - A free Mac app that builds your markers into a Resolve or Premiere timeline - No timecode box, no extra hardware - Works with the camera and edit software you already use Built by a filmmaker who was tired of losing the best moment in the edit.

LightTemp turns your smartphone into a professional on-set tool: measure light, understand it, and keep it consistent across the whole shoot – no expensive hardware required. Built by a filmmaker, for filmmakers. ◆ REAL-TIME KELVIN & TINT Point your camera at a light source and instantly read color temperature (Kelvin) and green-magenta tint. Tap the image to measure that exact spot (double-tap = center). Perfect for scouting and quick lighting checks. ◆ CAMERA WB RECOMMENDATION LightTemp tells you exactly what to dial into your camera – the measured value IS your white balance. ◆ LIGHTING RATIO (LIGHTING DESIGN) Measure Key, Fill, Back and Background one by one – the app computes the contrast ratios in stops (e.g. 4:1). Turn "reading a number" into "designing your lighting". ◆ GEL CALCULATOR Pick source + target white point – the app calculates the right CTO/CTB gel using real mired math, including combining large corrections. ◆ SHOOT SETUP & SHOT MATCH (CONTINUITY) Set your cine camera once (model, EI, fps, shutter angle). Save each scene as a full snapshot – Kelvin, tint, lighting ratio, flicker note and your camera values – and reproduce the lighting exactly on the next shooting day. Export as PDF. ◆ CONTINUITY RADAR Anchor the current light and the app warns you – with a banner and haptic – the moment color temperature or tint drifts, with a correction tip to get back. Keeps your look consistent across takes. ◆ MULTI-POINT DEVICE CALIBRATION Calibrate LightTemp with several reference points into a precise correction curve – maximum accuracy on your exact device. ◆ AUTOMATIC LIGHT SOURCE DETECTION Recognizes Tungsten, LED, HMI, daylight, candlelight or fluorescent – including a flicker warning (banding risk). ◆ PRO SCOPES • Histogram – brightness distribution • Waveform – luminance across the image width • RGB Parade – red/green/blue separately for a quick white-balance check ◆ FALSE COLOR & ZEBRA Exposure overlays like on professional monitors – correct skin tones, clipping and overexposed areas at a glance. Plus a live exposure assistant. ◆ GOLDEN & BLUE HOUR Calculates the sun's position from your location with a countdown to the next phase – for scouting. ◆ MORE TOOLS • Live camera data: ISO, shutter, aperture, FPS • Pinch-to-zoom • Freeze to lock the value • Customizable tool bar • Kelvin alarm (vibrates at target value) • Four languages: English, German, French, Spanish PRIVACY All data stays on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Note: Accuracy depends on your device's camera; use the calibration for best results. LightTemp is an assistive tool and does not replace a calibrated hardware light meter for the most demanding use.
