AS SEEN IN APPLE’S iPAD TV ADS “MovieSlate® is the the Rolls-Royce of slates” says HandHeldHollywood.com. A convenient, all-in-one digital slate, clapper board, shot log, and notepad is used for film, TV, documentaries, music videos, and interviews, this professional production tool is the easy way to log footage and take notes as you shoot— saving you valuable time later when capturing/editing footage, and creating reports. All at a mere fraction of a bulky digital clapperboard’s cost.

SLATE Tap a field to edit production info. Choose info from default/custom snippets, contacts, or saved history. Enter new info with the keyboard. Use the optimized keypad to quickly enter numeric info like: roll, scene, take, timecode. Or swipe up/down on fields to increment/decrement numbers.

TIMECODE Entering timecode is easy with our optimized keypad. Sync to clock time, or an iTunes song (Music Video mode). With optional PRO Features in-app purchase: LTC/WiFi sync with: compatible cameras, recorders, generators, Timecode Systems Hubs, wireless timecode slates; and other MovieSlate apps.

CLAPPER To begin a shot: photograph the slate’s production info, then tap the clapper sticks. Sticks open & clap closed, creating an audible/visible marker. All slate data is logged to history. Optional credits animations briefly display each production field, full screen.

NOTES For each shot, you can: circle a take; rate sound/picture quality; write multiple shot notes; record voice notes; take picture notes. Example: when shooting interviews, create notes to timecode-mark when a particular question was asked, or something remarkable was said. Enter notes using the microphone, camera, keyboard— or insert snippet phrases (such as “Interview”, “Question”, or “Tail Sticks”).

LOG HISTORY Get fast, searchable access to shot info, without wading through hours of footage. For each shot: all production, GPS location, and timecode data is stored to the app’s Shot Log History, where you can view, edit, or rate shots. History/Notes can be exported/emailed as: HTML, XML, CSV formats. Supports multiple projects.

CUSTOMIZE Choose behaviors, layouts, sounds, themes (clapper/hinge designs, backgrounds, fonts, colors)— even your production logo on the slate and in reports.

ALWAYS READY With MovieSlate: lost clapper boards are a thing of the past. Your shot history is always ready to view, review, edit, or send.

The app is really not that bad and has a good variety of customizable items. However, I have had this app for a long time and still can’t figure out how to actually send any report. There are no tutorials for it, there is no way to get in touch with the developer (no support options), and the FAQ doesn’t even mention it.

I had previous version and I was forced to rebuy. No noticable improvements stand out to me. I had a horrible experiance out of the gate, was not aware you have to be an Apple Music user just to use the software (doesn't inform you, just hangs on loading). If they were to improve the software, make it work better on phones, the text is so small that my camera can barely see it, so the slate info is essentially useless.

I’m not buying any more marker boards slates since using this. I have the iPad Air 2 in a Melamount case and it serves our purposes on film shoots. No more looking for the marker, eraser, and trying to remove old marks on a clapper. I just wish they sold a wood clapper for the iPad to slide into for the real wood clap sound (not a big deal).
