MAKE SPACE FOR THE NEXT GOOD IDEA

Keep concepts, references and feedback in one place. When an idea is ready, move it into production with its context intact.

A workflow shaped around your channel.

BUILT FROM DOING THE WORK

I know what happens
between uploads.

I’m Tom. I’ve spent years editing videos, managing channels and keeping creative teams on track. Slate grows out of that work: the deadlines, the handoffs, the approvals, and all the details that keep a channel moving.

I’m building the workspace I want beside me when the production gets busy.

8,000+videos personally edited since 2017

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before the
next upload.

Who is Slate for?

YouTube creators and the people behind their channels. Slate brings together work for editors, thumbnail designers, writers, producers and channel managers.

Can I track both videos and Shorts?

Yes. Slate has dedicated views for videos and Shorts, with shared production workflows, assignments and deadlines.

Can I keep working with multiple clients?

Yes. Separate workspaces keep each client’s work and access distinct. My Work brings your own assignments together across the workspaces you belong to.

Does Slate include channel management?

Slate is the software workspace. If you also want me to manage your channel or support your production, we can discuss that separately through Cutscene.

How do I get started?

Talk to me about your channel, your team and the way you work. I’ll walk you through Slate and discuss access, setup and pricing with you.
