Frequently Asked Questions

I have my wired timecode cabling set up correctly, and under the timecode test I can see a strong incoming signal. But when I go back to the slate, the app's timecode still isn't matching my generator. What am I missing?

Seeing a strong signal in the test only confirms that MovieSlate is receiving and decoding the incoming LTC. It does not automatically lock the app's timecode to that signal — you still have to start the sync. (A Pro Features subscription is required for timecode sync.)
With your timecode source plugged in:

1. Tap the timecode display at the top of the slate.
2. Tap the SYNC button.
3. On the "Send or Receive Timecode?" menu, tap Receive.
4. From the Source menu, tap Wired Microphone Input.
