Report an issueCut Notes is an iPad note-taking app for post production professionals. Take notes on the fly using quick preset buttons, all synced to the timecode of your editing application. Used worldwide by studios and freelancers alike, Cut Notes allows you to focus on the cut instead of looking down to write.
Cut Notes is integrated with the Kollaborate cloud workflow platform which allows you to easily share notes with colleagues and clients, as well as having collaborative note-taking sessions.
Note: Cut Notes does not play video and is designed as a companion app synchronized to another video source. If you're looking for a video player that will allow you to take notes, please see our other product, CinePlay: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cineplay/id561280759?mt=8
TIMECODE
Sync timecode from Kollaborate, Final Cut Pro 6/7, Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere Pro CS 6.0.2 for Mac, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Avid Media Composer / Symphony for Mac, Adobe Audition and Pro Tools.
Additionally, Cut Notes should be able to sync to any app that supports MIDI timecode.
NOTE KEYS
With a single tap of a notekey, the note is added instantly at the current timecode position. Create notekey sets for different tasks such as editing and mixing.
MANUAL ENTRY
Create a custom note at any time with the text box above the notekeys. Cut Notes will insert the note at the moment you first began typing so there’s no need to rush.
CUSTOMIZE
Change any notekey, create notekey sets and color code the keys.
CLOUD INTEGRATION
Make notes on your Kollaborate videos and sync them instantly to the cloud. Sync timecode directly from your web browser and remotely control playback.
View comments by colleagues instantly and take part in collaborative note-taking sessions.

Importing a Marker List into Final Cut Pro 7 or FCPX requires the free Cut Notes Marker Import utility for macOS available at http://www.digitalrebellion.com/cutnotes.

8 of 11I have been using this app for a few weeks and I find it to be a great tool so far with some minor tweaks it will be much better. It is worth the investment.
The app is awesome. But please add feature to take picture when making notes. That will be very handy when review long form work, like features or tv series. Thanks!
This app is great and very useful. Definitely the best time code note app out there! My only complaint is that is sometimes crashes and when it does it loses sync with the time code! Hopefully this sometimes fatal flaw will be fixed soon!
For an app to be used professionally, it has to be stable. The functionality of this app is great, but it has crashed on me a half dozen times already, causing me to lose (a bit of) work each time, plus then have to reset the midi connection so that i can sync with FCP. This is unacceptable in the long run. I hope that the developers are able to stabilize this app, because when it works, it's great.
this is the be all app for notes on post.
Great app for anyone who sits in an edit bay or mix room. A few things I'd like to see added: id like to be able to bring up the notes without turning the ipad, check boxes on the notes list, and color coding the buttons. I use this app all the time and love how customizable it is! just hoping the next version improves the already awesome app.
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.
Just updated to the new version, can’t export anything. Contacted customer support, workarounds suggested and worked! Thanks Jon @ DR for working on a Saturday night!!
