Start with the feeling, end with the frames
Moodboards on an open canvas: stills, film references, palettes pulled straight out of an image, and notes with their source attached. When a reference becomes a shot, it moves to the board without leaving the app.
- Paste a script and the scenes build themselves. You decide the shots
- An AI-tagged library: search “sunset” or “close-up” and find it
- Draw frames with a real pencil line, in three weights and four ink strengths, and rest your hand on the screen: once the Pencil has been seen, touch stops drawing
- Annotate any photograph: sketch, arrows and boxes flatten onto the frame
The moodboard, as zones on an open canvas.
One job, every format, one set of pictures
A campaign that delivers a film and a vertical cut is one project with two boards: same assets, same client, different framing. Duplicate the board, switch it to 9:16, and every frame keeps its focal point.
- 16:9, 2.39:1, 4:3, 1:1 and 9:16, switchable per board at any time
- Versions are real frozen boards. Compare shows exactly what changed
- Shot detail that goes to set: size, angle, movement, lens, duration, cast
- The shot list derives from the board. Nothing is typed twice
The board, with the library rail and the shot open.
Approvals without the email chain
One link. The client sees a page headed with your client's name, leaves numbered notes on exact frames, and presses one green button. When you deal with a note, they see the quiet Done tick, so nobody has to ask. No client accounts, ever.
- Notes wear running numbers, the same numbers on your screen and theirs
- Notes dock in a rail beside the board, grouped by scene, and every frame wears its own badge: an amber count while notes are open, a green tick when they are dealt with
- Approval records the name, the time and the board as it stood
- Present plays the board full screen and holds each frame for the duration you gave it, for showing the film in a room or down a call
- A link can carry a password, an expiry date, or neither
- Turned off means off, the moment you say so
What the client sees. Note #1, dealt with, says so.
Keep the job in one workspace
Invite the people working on the job and give each of them their own login. Members can work across projects, boards, shot lists and shoot days, while owners and admins manage who has access.
A freelancer can be limited to the projects they are on. Client review stays outside the workspace, so clients can comment and approve without using a seat.
- Owner, admin and member roles
- Restrict a member to named projects
- Membership history for owners and admins
- Included on Studio and Agency, with the same product features as Solo
The people on the job, with their roles, and one freelancer on one project.
The board goes to set
Plan the days like a stripboard, run the shoot one-handed from a phone, circle the good take with a half-second hold, mark pickups with their reasons, and attach continuity photographs to the shots they belong to. The wrap writes itself from what you tapped, and the editor's bible sends the whole record as one link.
- In the can, partial, dropped: the three answers a set gives
- Two links out: today's list for the crew, view only and expiring a day after it is made, and the editor's bible, which stays true as you shoot
- No signal? Taps are kept on the device and sent when it returns
- Included in every plan
The day, counted from what the crew tapped.
A shoot pack that looks like your studio
A branded PDF with a real cover system, in landscape or portrait, at three densities from four frames a page to ten. The shot list as PDF or CSV. A slide deck, one frame a slide, that opens in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides. All of it assembled in seconds from the one board.
- Your logo and your client's on the cover, from your own brand library
- No comment your client leaves ever reaches the PDF. The one note you write for the crew does, if you switch it on
- Every export is a layout of the same board. Nothing forks
The exporter, previewing the pages it will print.
