82 Q. Can I use MovieSlate on a Mac, such as a MacBook Pro, instead of an iPad or iPhone? Posted 06/16/2026 General
83 Q. I'm an AC working mostly with the Alexa 35. The MovieSlate documentation and a demo video show the app controlling an ARRI Alexa. Does that camera-control feature work with the Alexa 35? Posted 06/16/2026 Timecode Sync
84 Q. When I bring my MovieSlate markers into Avid Media Composer, every scene's locators start at 00:00:00 instead of the actual timecode we filmed, and post says they don't match. How do I get the true timecode into the markers? Posted 06/16/2026 Script Dept
