Script Imports

Let the script guide your shot list

If you have a script, you have the option to import it. Script imports generate dedicated shot lists for every scene. The scene content is a convenient click away. All that’s left is to read the scene, and add your shots.

How to Make a Shot List

Populate your shot list with shot specs

Select from dozens of shot types — including shot size, camera movement, lens, frame rate, camera angle, sound, location, and more. Every type of shot is conveniently listed to inspire your creative vision.

Shot Tagger

Shot tagging — an evolution in shot listing

No longer do you need to line a script, or flip back and forth between your shot list and script PDF. StudioBinder provides an industry first for the creative process: shot tagging. 


View scene content conveniently side-by-side with your shot list — making it easier to inform your shot decisions. Take it further by selecting any line of action or dialogue to insert a new shot with those very details. Shot tagging allows you to rapidly and intuitively form the skeleton of a shot list.

Camera Setups

Schedule your day

Easily group your shots into camera or lighting setups. Then drag and drop each setup to create the most efficient shooting order.


Include time estimates and StudioBinder will tally how much time you will need to make your day.

A Collaborative Workflow

The director adds the shots while the cinematographer rounds it out with equipment details, setups, and floorplans. All the while, the 1st A.D. inputs time estimes and company moves.
