“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.

Ivan Machiz,
Perfection got even better
I am a small company and freelancer. This app is perfect. It is always with me, and is WAY more capable than my needs, but it fits the bill perfectly in its simplicity. Watching the videos from Movie Slate (there are quite a few bite size videos covering everything in simple but comprehensive detail) showed me just how robust this app is. I was upset that the older version does not work on my newer iPhones and iPad, necessitating an upgrade and another payment, but the truth is it is such a sweet price point, and the app is so helpful, I did not mind paying again. I work on a lot of very small productions, this app makes me look pretty pro if they do not have a slate on set already. On my own projects it just saves time in post, especially if I am working with multiple cameras or with scripts and other moving parts.

Stellar tool for set
I have been using MovieSlate since 2009 and watched it grow into an indispensable production tool. The shot logs are easy to parse and send to my editor, the app is amazingly customizable, and it saves me a lot of $ since I don’t need to buy an expensive slate. The best part? The developer is incredibly responsive to feedback and suggestions. Recently I inquired about adding a tail slate option to the app, and within a week the developer had implemented the feature! In short, this is a stellar app that continues to get BETTER with each version. 5 stars.

The BEST App for Script Supervisors
This app is by far the best script supervision app or software out there, and trust me I'm tried them all. The script lining interface alone is worth the monthly subscription. Additionally, there are tons of setting options to adapt the program to your individual needs, and the customer service is top notch!! If you're a Script Supervisor looking for an intuitive and flexible digital option, this is the app for you.

Not impressed
I had this app as version 7 and recently purchased a cinema camera that I wanted to use app with again only to realize it was no longer supported and I would have to re-purchase the app I already had. I was not necessarily irritated about that however when I realized that my pro licence was no transferrable from 7 and that it was a monthly subscription or an insanely expensive one time purchase that killed it for me. I get that a real timecode slate costs more than all of the features mentioned but I already purchased them before and do not feel as though I should have to purchase them again.

Love app, want screen-splitting for iPad
This app is super useful for syncing up my notes to the video via slam sync. I wish the app supported split-screen on the 13” iPad Pro so that I could have another app open at the same time. This would be critical for my workflow. The other app would be the monitor of the video itself.

Outstanding App and Support
MovieSlate is exactly what you want, even when the Script Supervisor changes the scene number at the last second, MovieSlate info is really efficient and smartly setup. I use it every day on the CBS show Scorpion.
Reebert,
You DON’T need access to my contacts!!!
Recent update includes a reoccurring pop up message stating that it needs access to my contacts. No, no you don’t. At least not if I don’t want you to. Make it a one time pop up and allow me to change it if I want it to access contacts later.
I spent $30 on this stupid app and in return it slows down production by interfering during the EXACT time I need it: in front of the camera while trying to start the shop.

Indispensable
MovieSlate is an indispensable tool that fits my needs for a simple and proper way to slate, log, and sync. I use it in conjunction with Atomos (Timecode Systems) Ultrasync One and Ultrasync Blue and various iPads and iPhones. Be sure to use it with their KeyClips app.

After speaking with tech
They got the app working when it wasn’t opening up. Thank you team! 5 stars

No TC tone
Try as I might, I have not been able to figure out how to get the TC signal to be audible so I can jam sync other devices…even though I have paid the premium. The makers maintain it’s easy but while not a Luddite, it just ain’t happening. Very disappointed in their support.
