Shot List New

Every shot, in the shape you’ll shoot it.

The Shot List is every scene and shot in the project, each with a frame on the gate your camera actually records. Read it as a list, lay it out as a board, or flip through the frames in a grid. On the day, each shot’s frame and lens are on every phone on set.

  • List, Board or Grid. One click switches the view. Every view shows the same shots, so nothing gets out of step.
  • Bring your shot list. Import a CSV or paste rows from Sheets or Excel. Export a CSV or a PDF.
  • A frame per camera. Multi-Cam shots get an angle for each camera on its own gate.

How it works

From a spreadsheet to a finished frame.

  1. 1

    Bring the list

    Import a CSV or paste rows from a spreadsheet, or start with Add Shot.

  2. 2

    Make the frames

    Sketch, build from the reference library, shoot on your phone, or pull a frame from a lighting setup.

  3. 3

    Everyone sees it

    As soon as it’s saved the frame shows up on the Schedule, the call sheet and the live board.

In and out New

Start from the shot list you already have.

Most shot lists start in a spreadsheet. Import the CSV, or copy the rows straight out of Sheets or Excel and paste them in, and each column lands where it belongs. Send it back out as a CSV or a PDF any time.

On a real shoot. The director sends a 120-row shot list from Google Sheets the night before prep. Paste it in, and by morning the DP is boarding frames on it and the AD is putting shots on days.

Building a frame from the library.

Figures, furniture and windows from the reference library, placed on the gate of the shot’s camera. Or sketch it, or take a photo on your phone framed for the lens. Once the shot’s done, the frame from the camera replaces it.

On a phone

The Shot List on your phone.

On a phone it becomes a viewer with every frame, every angle and the shot details, plus a camera button for grabbing a frame on location.

What’s in the Shot Editor.

The camera’s gate

Body, resolution, gate and squeeze set the frame’s shape. The lens series and focal length go with it.

3D tilt

Tilt a reference in 3D so it sits on a wall or the floor and a plate from the library matches the angle.

Crop guides

Check how the frame works at 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 16:9 or 2.39:1 for each delivery.

The script beside it

The lines a shot covers are right next to the frame while you board it.

Comments on the shot

Talk about the frame right on the shot. If you mention someone they get a notification.

No overwriting

Only one person edits a shot at a time. Everyone else sees it update live and can ask to take over.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Do I have to draw?

No. You can build frames from the reference library, take a photo with your phone framed for the lens, or generate one from a lighting setup. Or skip frames and use it as a plain shot list.

Can several people work on it at the same time?

Yes. Each shot is edited by one person at a time and everyone sees the changes as they happen, so different people can work on different shots at once.
