About Digital Clapper

Digital Clapper is a ultimate synch tool for creating time snapshots on a film production sets with multiple cameras and sound devices. It features customizable Countdown timer with sound beeps and custom frames-per-second Timecode generator together with scene, take and date display. A Shots Report was added in version 1.1.0. The Report can be uploaded to server exported to PDF format or shared online.


★ Usage:
Enter scene and take number. Hold Digital Clapper in front of the cameras and make sure your audio recording device is capturing beeps. If the environment is too loud and your mic can't pick up beeps use jack cable from Digital Clapper and attach it directly to the camera or external sound recorder inputs. Press the big button with rotating arrow and the countdown will begin. Once in post production synchronizing captured sources on any edit platform (FCP, Avid, Premiere) is fairly straightforward. Simply trim audio and align "beep" to white flash at the end of countdown sequence and your are done. Now you have perfectly synched audio and video.

V70%
by V####:

This could be the best one but it needs a few change. I purchased all the clappers I can find and this one still the best. Changes needed, Stop all these ads. Every time it starts it wants to log in online. Write the log on the device no more registration! Please fix these I will pay whatever you want. By the way, this is the ONLY one does a proper count down! Make FLASH screen white at the end of the count for 1/30 second for easier frame sync. Or, selectable ... one more item if you please... larger number would be much appreciated.

It would be a good app if I could change the names on certain tags. Like "INT / EXT" and "MOS / Sync". Camera name doesn't show up. And info shows up after clap. I wish the slate was more traditional though I really like the count down and the clock

S70%
by S####:

Love it! The only thing is I wish we could have an option to see the slate before the countdown, to read to the camera and for the editor before saying "marker" and queueing the slate, since thats the procedure. If we had that I'd be using this on every set!

S70%

This is the best digital clapper on the market. Showing big and clear time-code is perfect also for multi camera recording. The GPS info is a must. To improve: very slow startup, some time the (to) long press touch don't work on selecting options and need to restart the app. Aperture in T stop option and not in f, clapper is for video not for photos. Some Frame rate on timecode missing and completely missing on UI front end. Email register field is to short and buggy. Password length check is in post....

S70%
by S####:

Agree with a number of other positive comments. But only 4 stars as the app won't save your list when offline. Inconvenient when travelling away when this is such a great app. Many users looking for this feature, can the app developers please release an update to use and save offline, before syncing to cloud account. Very usuable otherwise.

We'll appreciate if you make a paid version for this. So we never see the ads again. Thank you!

Has a nag screen. Then requests that I login upon each use. I just want to open the program and use it. It's a clapper... Why the heck do I want to login? Multiple cameras are capturing the information. I don't need your service requiring a login every time I open the program. The clapper itself is really really nice, and I want to use it- but I don't want to frickin' login. Get over yourselves and create a paid version where I can open it, set the scene, and GO! UNINSTALL.......

This app hasn't been updated in two years, and isn't very useful anyway. It looks nice, but doesn't provide enough space for information on the slate - there is only one line of customizable text. The 5 second countdown is not customizable. Settings (scene, take, text) are reset when the app exits. Shot ratings/reports are nice, but why do we have to upload them to the developer's server to access them? IMHO, ueen's Clapperboard app is much more useful than this.

S70%
by S####:

Just Close to Perfect. While this app may be complete for multi camera productions, the lack of an entry field for shot number makes it not so ideal for single camera work. A single button in the left or right edge of the screen instead of the five seconds countdown to trigger the flash and beep will make it more customizable.

S70%
by S####:

Make sure you calibrate it and set it up right the first time as there is no way to get back into setting as far as I can tell. Seems kind of phishy to me since while looking for the menu I ended up on their website a half dozen times.

S70%
by S####:

There is a bug in this app when entering text into the additional notes that prevents me from backspacing (Samsung Note4... Could be my phone). But other than that it seems to work very well! Especially for a free app. Well done! Fix the bug. Get 5 stars.

S70%
by S####:

Make possible to save reports in device first. And i cant find my older reports online. Its making reports useless. Make rating with 3 stars: don't use, maybe, use. And the beep is to long. Make 2, at most 3 loud tones.

T70%
by T####:

On my Nexus 5x, there is no way to exit the app without shutting down the phone. Not "user-friendly" as far as I am concerned. I also hate that I should have to register an account to be able to fully use the app.

F70%
by F####:

Needs improvement for a multi-camera shoot. Let users set up camera count (and names for each) then allow that to be an on-the-fly dropdown to slate multiple cameras in rapid succession. ALSO... The frame rate should be displayed on the slate, as well as possibly removing unused fields, such as "filters", when no data is applied to that field. Frame display accuracy needs to be improved. Maybe display the frame number for a small fraction of the frame time (1/4 of the frame rate, let's say) so that each frame will have only one number (albeit a bit dimmer) per recorded frame. As it sits now about 3/4 of the frame numbers are blended with another frame number.

On my Moto X it now freezes with no access to menu or functions. Requires a force close. Not serviceable.

Almost instant repair of a bug on a free app? Fantastic!

T70%
by T####:

The basic functions are great. However, two big issues: 1) No menu! There's no way to change settings. 2) 5 second countdown is useless. We just need a beep and a flash, thanks.

by T####:

Without the menu, i can't recalibrate the beep. But i'm not sure if i'm already seeing the full function of this app.

M70%
by M####:

I LOVE the rating system, but it needs a few things. Tap the screen once to clap and the second to show the rate screen. A manual input for how long the countdown is, 5 sec is way to long. My biggest gripe is that the keyboard covers the numbers,its impossible to input the numbers I need. Put them in a row across the top, that would make it so much easier to input he numbers.

Performance has got worse. Hate the requirement to register. I'm sad, as it was such a good app before. Uninstalled until problems solved.

As a hobbyist YouTuber, it's nice to count down like a pro, though I am sure some pros may appreciate this app more than me.

N70%
by N####:

This is a great app. But it would be nice if it can save locally without internet connection. I mean, what if we need to shoot in area where there is no network coverage?
