1 Q. My LTC timecode cable or headphone-jack adapter worked fine with MovieSlate on my older device, but since updating to a current version of iOS it no longer feeds timecode into the app. What changed? Posted 09/07/2026 Timecode Sync
2 Q. I still use MovieSlate 7 and just bought an Atomos UltraSync Blue. Can I jam sync MovieSlate 7 from it over Bluetooth, or do I need MovieSlate 8? Posted 09/07/2026 Bluetooth Device Sync

4 Q. The timecode is frozen and won't free-run. Is this a settings issue? Posted 06/27/2026 Timecode Sync
5 Q. I'm restoring a Timecode Sync plugin on MovieSlate 7 on an older iPad. Restore Purchases just says 'thanks for your purchase' but nothing seems to happen. Is the plugin actually working? Posted 06/27/2026 Plugins
6 Q. I want to use my UltraSync Blue (hardware timecode) with the app. Do I have to buy the one-time Pro version AND pay the monthly subscription, or is one of them enough? Posted 06/27/2026 Sales
