SlateSlate
The preproduction workspace for YouTube

Less time on busywork. More time growing your audience.

Slate is a preproduction workspace for YouTube. Keep your research, packaging, scripts, and B-roll plans in one project—so you always know where you left off.

Not a video editor. A planning workspace for packaging, scripting, and visual planning.
Ideation

Capture your video concept before it fades

Drop in reference videos, write your angle, and build a mood board—all attached to the project you'll actually make.

Connects with the tools you already use
YouTubeDropboxGoogle Drive
Script Editor

Write your script with research at your fingertips

Draft and revise in one place. Your references, notes, and chat history stay attached—so you don't lose your train of thought.

B-Roll Planner

Plan every shot before you record

Tag exactly where you need cutaways and what to show. When it's time to shoot, you already know what's missing.

Channels

Videos

YouTube Vault

Save the videos you keep going back to

Bookmark the outliers, pacing tricks, and thumbnail patterns you study. Pull them into projects without searching YouTube again.

Media Library

Find the clip you need by describing it

Connect your Dropbox once. Search your footage by what's in it—not by scrolling through folders.

Thumbnail Studio

Mock up thumbnails before you shoot

Describe the vibe, pull in a reference, and iterate on concepts—so you're not designing from scratch after the edit is done.

Packaging Lab

Test title + thumbnail combos before you write

Try different pairings, cut the weak ones, and commit to a hook worth writing toward.

From Script to Edit

Jump straight into the fun part of editing

Slate syncs your A-roll with your project and exports a timeline with your trimmed footage and B-roll track—so you skip the assembly step.
