Shot list

A shot list that adds up.

One row per shot: action, on-screen text, sound, cast, location, duration and a preview frame. Segments add up their runtime against the target, so you know before the shoot whether the 30-second spot fits into 30 seconds.

Watch a shot list come together

Just under 20 seconds from the real app: building segments, assigning cast, generating preview frames.

Two segments of a shot list: Hook at 0:05 of 0:05 in green, Der Moment at 0:04 of 0:03 in red.

Runtime per segment

Every segment adds up its shots against the target. Green fits, red runs long, in this case by one second.

One row, every answer

The columns are the questions the crew asks on the day. You answer them once, here, for every shot.

Know before the shoot whether the cut fits

Shot list Autumn Hero Film with the segments Cold open at 0:06 of 0:06 and Kitchen craft at 0:07 of 0:15.

A target per segment

Give the cold open six seconds and the product shot three. The counter shows planned against target.

Red means too long

When a segment runs over, its counter turns red. You notice while writing, not in the edit.

The total under the list

The list closes with the total across all creatives. When the client wants one more shot, you see right away what it costs.

Preview frames for shots nobody has drawn yet

Select and generate

Select the rows and click Generate images. Each frame is built from the shot's action text.

Tick the option and talent headshots and location photos go in as references.

A reference, not the picture

The preview shows the crew framing and mood. The picture itself is still made on set.

Frequently asked questions

How is the runtime calculated?

Every shot has a duration. A segment adds up its shots and compares the sum with its target. If it runs long, the counter turns red. The list closes with the total across all creatives.

Do the preview frames use my cast?

Only if you tick the option. Then talent headshots and location photos go into the generation as references.

Can I switch between the list and other views?

Yes. Creatives, Timeline and Script show the same shots. What you change in one view shows up in the others.

How does the list get to set?

In the browser, in the iOS app, or as a PDF export for everyone without an account.

What does it cost?

You can start for free. The plans are listed under Pricing on the homepage.
