Studio Mate: PDF Timecode

Sync with DAW — Add timecode markers to PDFs and jump to your DAW instantly. Studio Mate lets you quickly locate your DAW (e.g., Pro Tools) from timecode markers added on top of a PDF. Use scores, scripts, and review PDFs “as is” and cut the back-and-forth between recording, editing, and review. When not connected to a DAW, the built-in stopwatch can log elapsed time as markers. Optimized for recording engineers and voice/audio directors.

Key features • Add synchronized timecode markers anywhere on a PDF • DAW locate: tap a marker to jump to the exact position • Precision toggle: show in seconds or frames • Pre-roll adjustment for talent/orchestra • Built-in stopwatch: mark elapsed time without a DAW link

Great for • Take management: centralize OK/NG and retake notes with colors and handwriting • ADR / narration: write TC directly on script lines in the PDF • Pre-prod / table read: rough timing with stopwatch outside the studio • BGM/SE spotting: mark TC on a notes PDF and snap back during review • Review sharing: keep direction notes in the PDF so the next stage won’t get lost

Support • Quick guide & FAQ in the in-app help • Send feedback via the in-app feedback form

Notes • Without a DAW link you can log marks via stopwatch (the app won’t control the DAW) • DAW locate assumes MIDI/MMC/MTC control (may require setup) • Supports common timecode frame rates; match your project settings
