Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: This workflow grabs IMDB data, movie poster and a Youtube movie trailer link based upon user input for movie title and year (optional). Add your own rating, tags and review/notes for a personal touch. Currently operational export services are Day One and Dropbox.

Note: Movies grabs the top google search result for "Youtube + Movie Name + Official Trailer". Infrequently, for example with movie sequels, the selected Youtube link will not be for the correct movie.

Version: 0.2
