Why we like it

Lockit Panel earns its spot in the adobe_exchange library as a direct link between Ambient Recording's NanoLockit Logger hardware and Premiere Pro, turning on-set good and bad calls into markers editors can act on.

What is Lockit Panel?

Lockit Panel is a Premiere Pro extension from Ambient Recording that connects the editing environment with the NanoLockit Logger. During a shoot, directors, talent or video journalists can log each recorded clip as good or bad by pressing the red or green button on the NanoLockit Logger.

In Premiere Pro, editors upload the Logger file into the panel and click synchronize. The existing clips are then matched automatically with the logged markers, so it is immediately clear which takes were marked good and which were marked bad.

Ambient Recording GmbH manufactures on-set hardware including the Lockit timecode boxes, microphones and carbon boompoles, and this panel ties that logging workflow into Premiere Pro. It is compatible with Premiere Pro 9.0 and later, and the current release is version 1.0.1. More information is available on the developer's page at ambient.de.

Who is Lockit Panel best for?
