Shotlist

AI-built from your script. Lens, framing, every shot mapped.

Shot-by-shot breakdowns with every detail a DP and 1st AC needs: angle, shot size, lens, camera movement, lighting notes, sound notes, setup time, and order. Plus full cinematography parameters per row — aperture, shutter, ISO, ND filter, frame rate, focus mode, stabilisation. The Lens × Sensor × Shot Validator cross-checks your combination against cinematography rules and catches focus + framing issues that only surface on shoot day.

Replaces: Shot Lister + ShotDeck + StudioBinder Shot Lists

The numbers

Shotlist by the figures.

Every figure below is live in the product today — counted from the running code, not the marketing deck.

27shot types

Industry shot grammar.

Establishing, master, OTS, MS, MCU, CU, ECU, insert, cutaway, POV, two-shot, three-shot — every named shot in the canon, plus custom labels for anything missing.

FULLcinema params

Lens × aperture × shutter × ISO × ND × frame-rate × focus mode.

Every row carries the cinematography params a DP actually needs, with the Lens × Sensor × Shot Validator catching focus + coverage issues before shoot day.

NDJSONstream

Full-screenplay parse.

Bulk-parse the whole screenplay into a structured shotlist with one click. Streams scene-by-scene so you watch the deck fill in real time. Per-scene credit accounting — only pay for what parses.

CSV+ PDF

DP + AC handoff.

Export to CSV for spreadsheets, PDF for shoot-day printouts. Per-day filtered exports for the AC. All rows linked back to the source scene + script.

The pipeline

Where Shotlist sits in the production flow.

The bridge between writing and shooting. Shotlist takes a finished screenplay + a broken-down scene and outputs a per-shot plan with full cinematography parameters. Send a row to the AI Artist for an on-model frame; send a shot to the editor as a storyboard panel; send a column to the schedule as the day's setup count.

Talks to every app

Shotlist reads + writes to the same project file.

No re-entry, no copy-paste, no out-of-sync versions. Every connection below is a live data path in the running product.

Shares one project file

Shotlist reads and writes to the same synchronized project as every other app in the suite. Change one thing upstream and every dependent surface picks it up automatically.

Powered by DollyAi™

Dolly reads everything Shotlist needs to know about your project before you even ask. She suggests, you approve — never the other way around.

Never-lose-saves

Every change is autosaved, versioned, and restorable. Roll back Shotlist to any point without losing downstream work.

The Promise

Shotlist is on every tier.

From Solo to Broadcaster. No locked features, no Pro-only exports, no surprise paywalls. Every capability you see on this page ships on every plan — Solo gets exactly the same Shotlist as Broadcaster.
