1 Q. I traveled to a different time zone and MovieSlate's time-of-day timecode isn't matching the new local time. My iPad shows the correct time, but the app's clock-based timecode is still on my old zone. How do I fix it? Posted 06/12/2026 Timecode Sync
2 Q. I used to sync timecode wirelessly with a Timecode Buddy, but it's no longer being made. What wireless timecode devices does MovieSlate support now? Posted 06/11/2026 Timecode Sync
3 Q. I'm thinking about buying a Deneke TS-3 smart slate. Can I sync it with MovieSlate 8? Posted 06/10/2026 Timecode Sync
4 Q. Can MovieSlate's sync function send timecode over Bluetooth to a slate like the BETSO WTCS-1, so the app acts as the timecode source instead of a separate TX/RX box? Posted 06/10/2026 Timecode Sync
5 Q. 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? Posted 06/09/2026 Timecode Sync
6 Q. I want to record with 30+ iPhones in sync. Can MovieSlate lock the phone's system clock so all devices share the same time, or does it only sync timecode inside the app? Posted 06/09/2026 Timecode Sync
7 Q. I'm thinking about buying a Deity TC-SL1 smart slate. Will it sync with MovieSlate 8, and will the clapper sticks closing on the Deity trigger a new shot in MovieSlate? Posted 06/09/2026 Timecode Sync
8 Q. I'm using a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter to feed LTC timecode into my iPad, but that uses up the only USB-C port. How can I keep the iPad charged while it's on set receiving timecode? Posted 06/05/2026 Timecode Sync
