Digital Anarchy has announced ShotNotes, a notepad and task tracking panel for Adobe Premiere Pro. ShotNotes was created to allow editors to keep track of what they need to do.
As a native Premiere panel, ShotNotes lets editors organize their projects by adding detailed notes directly to their sequences. You can add timecode to the notes, link to other sequences, and even keep track of how long editing tasks take to do.
Key features
- Add notes and tasks directly in Premiere Pro.
- Eliminates the need for external apps or notebooks (or sticky notes)
- Notes support timecode, links to other sequences, and weblinks
- Use the clickable timecode to instantly jump to specific edit points in any sequence directly from your notes
- Creates markers for each note to fit into your Marker workflow
- Built-in time tracker logs how long tasks take and generates exportable reports
- Export to a variety of formats for sharing, printing, or backup
A lot of editors simply write in a notebook or sheets of paper, a Word doc, or a stack of sticky notes, but this can be a messy recipe that leads to confusion and mistakes.
Unlike standard markers, which can get cluttered or lost in complex sequences, ShotNotes provides an easier way to keep track of your thoughts and to-do items. It provides more just text, and it includes clickable timecode, links to other sequences, web links, and more. It can even create markers to fit into a Marker workflow.
The notes are exportable and can be shared with other users, printed, and backed up.
ShotNotes also includes a built-in time tracker. Editors can log tasks, track how long each one takes, and export a detailed report. If you are a freelance editor who charges by the hour, it is a good way to keep a record so that you can justify hours. You can export a report of tasks, how long they took to do, and a list of things you did while the timer was on.
Pricing & Availability
Digital Anarchy’s ShotNotes will normally be priced at $129 USD, but up until the 15th of May, you can get it for $99 USD. You can also download a free demo if you want to try it out before purchasing.
