Cut Notes

I was actually using this on set to take live continuity notes for a reality show. It very often gets slow to the point of being unusable and has to be killed and restarted. Also there is no way to export an entire project at once. You must do it "cut" by "cut." It would also be nice to have the option to stack short cut keys. Right now, I believe that you can only do that by double tapping one and tapping another within 1.5 seconds. It would be nice to have an option to mot be limited by that time so you could double tap one and then tap several others until you press return. It could be a really useful app. The slow downs and bugginess are the main issues though. Also, if exporting plain text to dropbox it's just one big continuous block of text which is useless. If exported to email or clipboard, it's fine.

If your a for-realsie film editor, this program along with AC-7, are all the reason you ever need to buy an iPad. I don't know what it is with this program and titles, but... Titling versions and cuts is buggy. This is just annoying. The bad is when importing markers into FCP 7, the XML loses any carriage return in a standard title. So you need to either use those sequences as reference or be prepared to repast any titles. This tool is still AWESOME. Digital Rebellion already has a iPhone remote app. They need add a play button here, and have the option to read T.C. from the machine. Or minimally a way to manually re-sync the t.c. Another wish would be slightly smaller buttons that where organized under columns. I'd replace too loud and too low for just "mix note" or "Mix!" Also it should record audio while timecode is running.

Cut Notes is a must have app for any filmmaker who owns an iPad! It has made our production workflows so much easier! Taking notes for our projects has never been this nice! The best part for me is the marker export for FCP! This app caries the true Apple spirit in that it just works!
