GATE

Pricing

Every plan reads every copy back and proves it. Pay by the year for the plan that fits, or once for a production. Charged in rand, at a price fixed when you buy; dollar figures are a guide.

Coming out of beta. We are opening GATE to a small group of selected film producers first, so it is not widely available yet. If you would like to be one of them, email us at lenscowboy@lenscowboy.com or tell us about your production in the early-access form.

Questions

Is there a trial?
Yes: 14 days with every feature, on one computer. We issue trials ourselves, so ask under Licence in GATE, or tick the box when you ask for early access, and we will email you a key. The 14 days start when you activate it.
Is it charged per shoot day?
No. A seat by the year, or one price for a production.
Do I need to be online?
No. GATE copies and checks a card with no connection. The licence checks in when there is one and allows a long stretch offline. GATE never stops a copy halfway through a job.
How do I cancel?
Any time, from the link in the email Paystack sends with your subscription. You keep your plan until the end of the year you paid for.
Which computers?
macOS, and Windows on Intel or AMD PCs. Windows is new: proven on a PC, not yet on a shoot.
