Add and save time and your comments on the movie automatically.
If you ever need to watch a series of QuickTime movies and take notes, or if you need to get dailies or raw footage to clients or collaborators for comments, you know what a huge hassle it can be. Doing window burns, waiting hours for renders, making DVDs, spending hours for encoding, and then there's the hassle of the process having to continually hit pause on your DVD remote and write down the timecode they see on the screen. Problem solved! Now, there's QT Movie NoteTaker! This is a free, easy-to-use program from DVcreators.net that simplifies the process of taking movie notes. This application lets you load a QuickTime movie, then click a button to stop the movie, enters the movie time into your notes automatically, then waits for you to write a brief or lengthy comment. You can load a series of movies and each movie will automatically have a header with the movie name, length, and a place to write overall comments. When you're finished, click a button to save your notes as a text file, or another button to email your notes to someone.
Could use more customizable features for time coding.
Summary
If you work with video especially video that needs meticulous noting this is a great tool to make life simpler and faster.
Fabulous utility for director/producer/editor notes.

Pros
This is a great solution for a lot of things: notes to editors, notes to producers, notes from clients, notes from teachers to film students, etc.
Cons
Would be great if some of the traditional key commands like" jkl "worked and the tab key moved you back and forth from the movie to the notes. A couple of minor tweaks and it is 5 stars for sure.
Summary
I love it. I will use it a lot. And I will buy a pro version if it comes out. Very, very useful!
Great Utility!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This program is amazing for making notes on edits. Once you learn the keyboard shortcuts, you can work pretty fast.
Can't wait for the Pro version.
works well for what it does

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm making a movie with my fiance and needed to get her thoughts about certain sequences and this makes it much easier.
I don't understand why you force the screen size to be larger than the 12 inch screen resolution (1024 wide). Why can't it scale down all the way - that is one major disappointment to me - 1 star taken off.
Also, would it be possible to load the notes back into the program and automatically go there in the movie. I couldn't find that feature after looking for a little while.
