Video Assist, built by Bradley Andrew, an Australian VTR Operator and solo developer, transforms your iPad into a professional on-set monitor and playback system that’s fast and intuitive. It connects to your camera or wireless system via a UVC Capture Card and includes essential tools such as LUTs, Live Compositing, Focus Peaking, False Color, Zebras, Video Transform, Grid Lines, Center Marks, Frame Line Masks, Anamorphic Desqueeze and Audio Meters.

A major update, Video Assist 2.2 expands the toolkit further by introducing Timecode Support with Tentacle Sync Integration and many more. Record clips with embedded timecode using Tentacle Sync devices connected over Bluetooth or USB. Paired with Metadata Extraction and Match Camera File Name, this allows for a full proxy workflow. Recorded clips carry the same file name and timecode as the camera and can drop straight into an offline edit. The new Timecode Offset feature aligns video and timecode inputs during recording to account for latency from the USB Capture Card. It’s best practice to test your offset before relying on it for a proxy based workflow. The SYNC E, TRACK E and TIMEBAR are supported. Timecode is updated at regular intervals when connected via Bluetooth using intelligent re-jamming. This ensures the iPad and Tentacle Sync Device always stay in sync.
