Workflow

One consistent workflow for every project.

Every client sends scripts and schedules in their own format. ShotBook turns them into a single scene list that carries through from the shoot to the edit.

Import documents

Reads scripts and schedules from PDF, Word, Excel, Google Sheets or photos, and identifies the scene, dialogue, location and time columns.

Run the shoot

Scene-by-scene shot board, daily call sheets, and music playback with a countdown for music videos.

Log takes

Record take numbers, cameras, clip numbers and circled takes as you shoot.

Build the rough cut

Export a .nex package; the Premiere Pro plugin lays the scenes out on the timeline.

Solutions
