How to make a clapperboard

  1. Name the production

    Type the film's title and the director. Real productions, birthday movies and school projects all work.

  2. Fill in the cards

    Add the roll, scene, take, camera and date, then circle interior or exterior, day or night, and sync sound or MOS.

  3. Style the slate

    Pick Classic black, Studio white, Colour bars, Red carpet or Midnight blue, set the stripe angle and choose the handwriting.

  4. Clap and download

    Press Clap to snap the sticks shut with sound, then download a PNG or JPG, copy the image or share a link to the design.
