Shot List

The Shot List is where you break scenes into shots and track their production details.

How to reach it

Open a project and click Shot List in the sidebar.

Views

Switch between Table, Rows, and Cards with the view switcher in the top bar. Phones always show the card layout. You can enable or disable views for the page in the workspace customization panel (right-click the page background and choose Customize workspace).

Scenes

• Create: click Add Scene in the top bar (in Cards view there is also a dashed Add scene tile at the bottom).
• The Add a scene dialog has Scene name, Setting (INT, EXT, INT/EXT), Time of day (Day, Night, Dusk, Dawn, Golden hour, Blue hour), Page count (in eighths), Story day, Location name (optional), and Address (optional) with autocomplete and a map preview.
• Edit: the pencil icon on the scene header, or Edit scene in the scene menu.
• Duplicate scene copies the scene and recreates its shots with fresh numbers. Delete scene removes the scene and all its shots after a confirmation; this cannot be undone.
• Reorder: drag the scene header grip in Table view.
• Collapse: use the scene chevron, or Collapse All / Expand All in the Display popover.

Scene numbers come from the linked script scene when one exists, otherwise from the scene’s position. See Scenes, shots, and versions.

Shots

• Create: the Add shot row or card at the end of each scene. New shots are numbered automatically.
• Edit: click any cell to edit inline. Type, Angle, Move, Camera, Lens, Frame Rate, and Aspect Ratio are comboboxes: pick a suggestion or type any value. Each combobox lets you save values to your own list (Save ”…” to my list).
• Status: click the status ring to cycle through none, in progress, and completed.
• Sound and VFX are toggle dots. Description and Notes are text fields. Duration is free text.
• Cast: the Cast cell opens a picker (“Search or add character…”) where you link project cast to the shot, or add a new character to the project on the spot.
• Image: attach a storyboard frame with the upload button, or draw one on a built-in canvas with the pencil button. Click a thumbnail to view it full screen.
• Delete: the row menu’s Delete, or select shots and use the bulk bar. Deletes are permanent.
• Reorder and move: drag shots within a scene or into another scene. A shot moved to another scene gets a new number there.
• Bulk edit: select shots with the row checkboxes; the bar offers status buttons (None, In progress, Completed), Delete, and Clear.
• Reveal in Script: shots created from the script have a row action that jumps to their script line.

Columns

• The Columns popover lists all columns with visibility switches; drag to reorder. Reset column layout restores defaults.
• Default visible columns: Shot ID, Status, Description, Type, Angle, Move, Cast, Duration, Camera, Lens, Notes, Image. Frame Rate, Aspect Ratio, Sound, and VFX can be switched on.
• Resize columns by dragging the header edge; right-click a header for Hide column and Reset width.
• Custom fields: click Add Field in the Columns popover (or Manage Fields in the page context menu). Fields can be Text, Select, or Status with your own options. Custom fields appear as extra columns.

Display options

The Display popover contains:

• Versions: opens the versions panel (see below).
• Coverage: toggles the coverage tracker.
• Collapse All / Expand All, Clean IDs.
• Table Layout: Fit or Scroll. Card columns: 1 to 5 (Cards view).
• Filter: by Cast, Lens, Status (All, Completed, Incomplete), Time of Day, and Setting.
• Shot ID Style: USA (1A, 1B, 2A), Europe (1.1, 1.2, 2.1), or UK (1, 2, 3). This is a project wide setting. Clean IDs renumbers everything to the current style.

Versions

Open Display then Versions.

• Save current version snapshots all scenes and shots, with an optional Version label.
• Each version lists its save time with View (preview) and Restore. Restoring replaces the current shot list with the snapshot.

Script panel

The script chip in the top bar opens a read-only script drawer next to the shot list, so you can reference the screenplay while building shots. Shots can also be created directly from the script; see the Script guide.

Export

Open the Share popover in the top bar for Export PDF and the shot list share link. See Exports and PDFs and Sharing and permissions.

Permissions and offline

• Viewers see the shot list read only: no add, edit, numbering, or field management controls.
• Offline, shot edits keep working and sync later (“Saved offline. Will sync when you reconnect.”); creating scenes requires a connection.
