DigiSlate for Android

It’s definitely worth it for video productions and especially indie work

If you make more than 1 project with the same name, even if you edit the second one, after visiting the main screen it reverts back to the original you duplicated. So you can’t save multiple slates with different scene names but with the same project name. Edit: actually the system is all kinds of messed up, you can’t save multiple slates. They all default to the first one. Deleting them causes issues too. Also if you click the + to go to the project selection, you can only click the create new project button before touching anything, if you scroll your projects, the create new button greys out and you can’t click it, so you have to go into a project and leave again and not touch anything.

In the middle section I enter 200914_0004 which is a filename I need to display, but the app inserts a space between the 9 and 1. Is that a bug? I want exactly what I type to be displayed. Fix that and I would rate this useful app 5 stars.

Good app except the visual clapper disappears too quickly. This is suppose to make synching audio and video easier but that really doesn’t help much when you’re spending precious minutes trying to synch and still end up being off. It’s just a second too short. I would definitely purchase the add free version if they could fix that little issue. I would hate to give this such a low rating for a small but vital problem.

I started using DigiSlate to help determine audio offsets when doing live streams. Quite helpful with that and I’ve subsequently started using it when actually filming live streams. By then I know what my offsets need to be but using the slate let’s me confirm that my camera and mixer settings are still in place. Also useful to have the text (on the slate) put into my raw video file. I also purchased the $2.99 remove-ads in-app purchase. The cost is trivial and programmers should get something for their work.
