QRSlate is a film slate for iOS, but with a twist: It organizes your media automatically on your computer. Its like having your own assistant editor!

It truly bridges the gap between production and editorial.

Using the slate as a barcoding system, QR Slate sends important information (scene, take, camera rolls, a scene description, etc) directly to the camera for integration into Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut X and Premiere metadata.

+++ PLEASE NOTE: In order to import the media with all of the metadata included, this app needs to be used with QR Slate Desktop Importer ( available in the Mac App Store for 49.99 USD). +++

THE PROCESS
Shoot your project using QR Slate the same way youd shoot with any other slate: Hold it up and record it. Make sure the camera can see it!

When youre finished, import the footage to your computer like usual. Drag and drop the movie files into the QR Slate desktop application. The Desktop App will analyze your video, find the slates within the movies themselves, and then import the footage into Final Cut Pro 7 and Avid with the included metadata!

But what if youve already slated the take, youre rolling, and need to revise it? Or theres a take you really like and want to mark it for later? You couldnt have known that before the roll!

The Script Supervisor / Take Organizer lets you revise, modify, and delete takes on set. You can change any available field and get everything clean and organized before passing it off to editorial. All those preciously helpful script supervisor notes will no longer by thrown in a drawer next to the sound report ever again!

During the roll, you can also drop Markers. Markers can be named and commented on, and will appear in your clip when imported into the NLE, right where you added them during the shoot! A powerful tool for long single takes on things like reality tv or documentary.

When youre finished with the shoot, you can email yourself an updater file, drop it in with the footage, and your media will be automatically updated with the most recent metadata!

Wed love to hear what you would add or remove. We take criticism very well.
