Slate Builder

Branded slates and countdown leaders for the front of a cut, exported as pixel-exact PNG and MP4 in the browser.

Made by Motionbell, 2026.

← All work

Every cut that leaves a post house needs a slate naming the project, the version and the date, and often a countdown leader before program start. Slate Builder fills the slate from a form, lays it out in the studio's own design, and renders the still or the video with its countdown.

  • Four starting designs, Essentials, Cinema, Commercial and Minimal, and a designer for a studio's own presets with its logo, colours and fonts.
  • Fields are grouped the way a real slate is, production, creative, delivery and slate, with room for custom rows.
  • Countdown leaders flash on the 2 and carry a 2-pop synced to that frame, or a studio's own audio.
  • Cut status, editor and notes can become pick-lists, so a whole team slates the same way.
