About Digital Slate

This is a simple application that performs the function of a digital slate -- It's super easy to use. Simply launch it, specify the production, director, camera, etc. and start shooting!

Double click in cells to edit them, for some cells you can roll them 'up and down' to change among the available settings.

I've taken some pains to make sure this scales well up to 'large' formats such as tablets.


Enjoy and let me know what you think!

The clapper sound is not loud eneough so I purchased a blu tooth amp which connects OK to my android pad for music etc but the slate drops normal audio, shows a Blue surropund the action tab but nothing is sent to the external amp. If I now run an audio file via VLc, the music plays and I also get a clap from the slate. If I stop the audio playing I also now loose the clap. Blutooth lincage is faulty. Impossible to rotate my Pad and see the Slate rotate with it. I like the display and function but above is a problem

TC is too small, no way how to customize the font, color or size, thin numbers over black text on 4:2:0 codecs looks bad. Thanks for sharing.

I like that it can be configured for PAL, 24fps, whatever you need. Clap sound is a bit soft, but then again, I prefer a visual cue, plus Pluraleyes.

It'd be nice if it would output time code on the headphone jack. Actually, it'd be perfect.

Two important points. The data or time line must be 2x larger. The sound my be cute, but useless. Need a loud beep, like a microwave sound. The recorders and Mic does not hear it right now. The timer color is not bright enough and should be able to adjust it to different colors. Some camera don't see red color well. Otherwise it's a cool app. The menu when it's running don't work.

Clap animation and sound not in sync, time code can't be changed. Uses system clock only

I love the design, just a question how do you restart the clock/timer? Everything else works like a charm.. Thank you for a cool app.

Love the app but every time the phone idles or I leave the app any swiped settings reset themselves which is very irritating and embarrassing when you lose your take

Would be better if the scn letters (A, B, C, D...) will touch-scroll once typed in, so i dont have to reinput info after every LENS change/cam move.

But flash would make it perfecter.

N70%
by N####:

Works well, got confused in the beginning with the time running by it's self without stopping at all, then I understood it's the tabs clock, if all devices can be set to the exact same/correct time it works perfect, would be great if the take changed automatically every time you clap, the sound is perfect, not the stupid bing most of the others are using. Manual TC input, and whole screen flashing could be a nice addition but not a must. Will give five stars if the automatic Take changing is added.

Don't know if it's just me but changing the display frame rate to 25fps doesn't change the clock - it still runs in 29.97fps mode. if this can be solved, fantastic (along with other recommendations already made} Keep going!!!

Works well on my Galaxy Tab but did force close a couple of times on my HTC Desire HD. Not an issue for me as I would probably only use on the tablet. Might be nice for some if the timecode could be manually set and the count match the FPS setting instead of being stuck in 29.97. For a free app you can't go wrong.

I have been searching for a clapboard on Google Play for a long time. I found this many, but this is the one that answers my prayers ~ and way better than anything else I found. It does exactly what you want a clapboard to do and in the most intuitive way (there was nothing to 'figure out'). Big thanks to the developer!

J70%
by J####:

If you are shooting at 29.97 this app is a must. Couple of tiny tweaks such as selectable fps in line with displayed timecode would make this a 5star plus app. Selectable synch sound like a basic timed beep would be great and a nice SMPTE colour bar as the bottom element of the clapper graphic would elevate this app to genius rating. Add a simple timed screen flash and i would have your babies. Excellent app for free, nice job!

It's a very good app. You have manual control for everything - thats a great advantage!-. But it's useless if you can't jam sync it to another device! please fix this.

Does what it says it does. SIMPLE digital slate. If you gave it less then 4 stars, go f yourself, its FREE

Needed an insert slate for a tight shot and this worked great it would be helpful if takes advanced when the slate is clapped. Preset fps would be nice as a drop down Menu. And setting the input for takes as numerical only would make it more user friendly.

For dual system audio!

You need to be able remove the timecode, it is essentially useless as their is no way to sync it to camera timecode or the sound recordist.

U70%
by U####:

Every field is customisable except time code. Just double touch it. Time code is the device clock. Don't be a whiner, this is an awesome free app to be a slate. If you want more there are others, but as a slate this is great. Auto take change would be nice, but all you have to do is swipe. If that's too much for you, then you should just give up and go away.
