The Library is project-independent and linked to your account. If you need to, you can add a new camera, lens or filter to the Library. This camera, lens or filter is then available in the Gear section. It will also be available for future projects.

For more info on the Library, pease visit this manual article

The Gear-tab (in the right bar next to the project cover), allows you to preselect all the gear the film crew will use during the shoot. This selection is made for the particular project you're working on and is drawn from the Library. So, if the production uses multiple cameras, lenses and filters, you select the appropriate items by enabling the ticks next to it. This selection will be making up your shortlist throughout the project.

First, you have to create a new camera. You do this by pressing and holding the Cameras main-button (cyan colored vertical bar). It will open up a small menu which will allow you to select your Gear cameras. When you select a Gear camera directly from the new camera menu, any default values that you've assigned are automatically assumed.

Alternatively, you can choose 'Blank camera'. In the Camera Model field, you can tap the option 'Choose from Gear'. This will show your Gear cameras as presets in the calculator on the right. Once you've chosen this new camera to be one of the Gear cameras, all subsequent details in the input fields will be adjusted to that specific camera. For example: choosing the Arri Alexa you've already selected under Gear, will limit the presets to the Format/Stock availabe to that speciifc camera model. You can still overwrite the presets and fill out your custom data by pressing the calculator's keyboard.

Note: any custom preset you enter within a project, will appear under the 'Recent' button of the calculator for that specific field. When you return to that field, it is quickly selectable in the same way presets work.

The Template option let's you create a form with predefined values that might be most common for your particular project. It might be faster to fill in your form starting from this template than starting with a blank template. For instance, the main camera will be pretty much the same throughout the production and just occasionally replaced by another model. 'Manually overwriting' your template in these occasions will be the faster and more convenient choice.

The reference link manager enables you to share reference items you created for a specific slate, with other slates. Maybe a drawing of a camera angle is valid for more than one slate or set up, so connecting this reference to other slates can be useful.

This feature provides an overview of all your data when you rotate your iPad from landscape to portrait. Keep on working in portrait mode if you wish; the app is fully functional in this new mode which mimics a full page form.

The Export module (accessible from the Project Dashboard) allows you to export your collected data as a PDF that can easily be consulted or shared outside of Setellite.

Setellite offers the following report types:

FULL REPORT
Full page sheet per unique take containing all data for each slate. This report takes one page for each take and (re)prints all Main and Camera data above it. Optionally, you can choose to include a Project Cover Page (showing your production's title and other general project info), a Project Details Page(s) (showing the project Synopsis, Gear and other technical info). 'Hide Stereo Fields' will exclude all Stereo Fields from the Take info section. 'Highlight Differences Between Takes' will highlight any differences between subsequent takes. This will only be applied and available to slates containing more than one (1) take. Changed values will be displayed red and bold.

DATA SHEET
Summarized data that formats the slate's data into a landscape layout. Not all data is included (if you want to include all data, please refer to Full Report)

FULL PAGE REFERENCES
Each page displays one reference, giving you a large output of any pictures, drawings of videos you've made. Videos are displayed as a mosaic of 4 tiles with poster frames from the first frame, last frame and in-between frames on 1/3rd and 2/3rd of the video.

REFERENCES SHEET
References listed per slate with additional info such as type, notes and linked slates.

For more information ans examples of exported files, please consult the manual

Your slates can be filtered on almost all attributes that are filled out in any of the tabs. Slate Filters can be quickly turned on and off, saved and loaded for later use and the results can be used as export settings.

You can create and edit a Slate Filter be tapping the filter button at the top of the Slates pane. When a filter is currently active the button will turn blue and a bar at the bottom of the list will appear displaying the number of slates the Slate Filter results in.

To quickly turn on or off the current Slate Filter, tap and hold the Filter button.
