HHH: So you consulted with professional filmmakers while developing MovieSlate 2.0?ĬJ: Yes, for both design and testing. We learned a lot from them, and cannot thank them enough for their invaluable feedback. We had a pretty large group of industry professionals who pitched in as beta testers, subjecting the feature to a variety of cameras and workflows. HHH: How difficult was it to add the timecode syncing functionality? What sort of testing did you do?ĬJ: Yeah, it took a significant amount of engineering– and testing. You can also force-jam the timecode using an onscreen button. Plug the cable back in, and MovieSlate acquires the live timecode signal again. When you unplug the audio cable from the iDevice, MovieSlate auto-jams the timecode. The camera’s timecode is displayed in MovieSlate and stops/starts when the camera does. I think our implementation is pretty slick.

As easy as we made it to manually jam timecode, professional filmmakers told us that they really wanted a more automated solution for acquiring timecode. HHH: What feature request did you hear the most after your initial release?ĬJ: Hand’s down, Timecode Sync from Camera (LTC-IN). Many smaller fixes and user interface improvements that add up to a more enjoyable, streamlined experience.
