What it does
Shot Designer plans camera blocking with diagrams, a director's viewfinder, set and lighting tools, and shot-list output.
Use the camera diagram to arrange actors, lenses and movement, then add storyboard keyframes and framing previews where the plan needs a clearer visual reference. Shot Designer combines those views with a shot list, set and lighting tools.
The free version works on one scene at a time. Pro adds file management, synchronisation and team sharing, scene organisation and PDF/JPG/Excel export for diagrams and shot lists. Choose that entitlement before depending on a multi-scene plan or a crew handoff.
Strengths
- Blocking diagrams and framing tools support location and shot planning.
