New in KnowledgeBase: Add clip information to Silverstack via iPad

During shooting custom metadata like circled takes, comments, tags or file names can be collected via third-party app on the iPad. Such metadata can be easily transferred to Silverstack where it is consolidated with all other clip related metadata. Currently this import feature works with the iPad app MovieSlate.

New KnowledgeBase entries describe how Silverstack can import all this metadata and how they can be assigned automatically to related clips:
