DigiSlate is a modern, free digital slate / clapperboard for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. DigiSlate uses either a swipe across the board or the volume buttons on your device to clap the board. This allows you to keep your hands well out of the way when the slate claps. DigiSlate uses the whole screen for the clappers for easier sync on smaller devices.
Features
- Full screen clapper board - works great on smaller phones for easier sync in post
- Music Mode (in-app purchase) syncs music from your local library or right from your inbox and changes speed in real-time!
- Counts in frames and supports regular and drop frame timecodes... or enter your own
- Edit every title on the slate to fully customise DigiSlate to work best for you
- Save and Load Slates - re-entering details for different shoots is history
- Swipe across or use the volume buttons to clap the board
- Double tap the text on the board to edit the slate
- Drag up and down (or double tap) on Slate, Roll, Scene, Take, FPS and Camera to change
- Two finger drag up and down on Scene for USA format (4A, $B, 4C etc)
- Date and Time come straight from your device so no need to enter manually
- Take will go green to indicate that the board has been clapped, and can auto-increment
- Choose either a traditional black slate or white clapperboard
- Time of day, shoot time (to 1/100th second) for reference or Scene Name L.E.D. style display. Now shows Shoot Timecode as well.
- 4 different sounds for sync - Clap, Beep (1kHz tone), White Noise or Pip (1 frame 1khz tone for SyncOne2 and Multi-Camera sync checking
- Sync Mode run flash/beep cycle for Multi-Cam shoots or general audio video sync checking
- Auto Take auto-increments the Take each clap the board
- Triple Clap option to clap the slate 3 times for easier sync in noisy environments
No more fiddling around with small on-screen buttons or awkward user interfaces - DigiSlate is easy to use even on the smaller display of an iPhone/iPod Touch and looks fantastic on the larger screen of your iPad and simply stunning on the iPad Pro.
DigiSlate is the free digital clapperboard you've been waiting for.
The overall functionality of the slate is good and there is a built in quick manual / information screen on how to use the app, but there are a couple major flaws which could be easily addressed by the developer. There is no way to increase the volume of the clap from inside the app. i had to exit the app and go to another app with sound and increase the volume to maximum. After doing this I could go back to the app and get the clap at full volume of the ipad. The clap can be initiated via volume buttons but use of the lower volume button will lower the volume of the clap, but the reverse for the increase volume button is not so repeatedly have to exit the app and find some other clip with volume to reset. The scene increment only seems to work with a single finger swipe through integer numbers and not as the app says to two finger swipe to do number letter scene increments. Lastly, the timecode display option will only do 100ths of a second in time of day mode. It will do frames in the timecode, but there is no option to set the time of day with frames. Again, this is not ties to any real master timecode generator so the frames would not be accurate anyhow. Instead of using the volume buttons to avoid the changing volume issue is possible by swiping across the screen to initiate the clap, but getting your hand in front of the slate when clapping is just bad technique.
Decent

Not very intuitive for such a simple app.Also I am unable to control the volume of the slate.Soft clap is inaudible
Great app, Music mode could use adjusting

Please display the music cue timecode as soon as the cue is selected, not just when the clap is triggered. With music videos, there is not enough time to leave the slate in the shot, so we need to see the cue timecode way before the clap.
Not bad

Really needs the time code to do frames not hundredths of a second. Cameras run at 24, 25 or 29.97 no fractions of a 100. Still useful though.
Thanks for all your messages about DigiSlate. Glad to finally bring this app back to the store.
I've tightened sync so the clappers are more accurate than ever.
I've also updated it for all the latest devices and given it a tidy up, fixed a few bugs and made it work better and smoother with all devices.
