Shot list groups and settings

Shot list groups let you organize shots by shoot day (from your schedule) or by custom lists. Settings control shot numbering (letters, numbers, or custom) and coverage subjects. Cut shots can be hidden or shown in the view and in exports.

​
Shot list groups

  • System groups (schedule days): When your schedule has day breaks, the shot list gets one group per shoot day. These groups are created and updated automatically. You cannot rename or delete them. Use the Filter by group dropdown in the View to see only the shots for a given day. Shots are assigned to days based on where they fall relative to day break banners (e.g. above the first break = Day 1).
  • Custom lists: You can create your own groups (e.g. “Pickups”, “VFX shots”) from the Lists or Groups area. Add or remove shots from custom groups manually. Custom groups do not affect the schedule or day break banners.
In the Builder, the Custom Lists tab in the sidebar shows schedule days and any custom lists so you can work scene-by-scene within a day or list.

​
Shot numbering settings

Open More → Settings in the shot list View (or the Settings entry in the Builder). Under Shot numbering:
  • Letters: Shots get identifiers A, B, C, … (with optional excluded letters, e.g. I, O, Q). The next letter is assigned automatically when you add a shot.
  • Numbers: Shots get 1, 2, 3, ….
  • Custom (manual): You type the shot identifier yourself (e.g. “MASTER”, “INSERT-1”). In list view, the Shot column is editable so you can change the identifier by clicking it.
Changes save automatically. New shots follow the selected scheme.

​
Coverage subjects

Coverage lets you tag shots by subject (e.g. character or coverage type) for tracking what each shot covers. In Settings, use Manage Coverage to open the coverage subjects page where you add or edit subjects and colors. In the Builder or shot form, assign a Coverage subject to a shot when creating or editing. The coverage overlay and preview use these for display.

​
Cut shots

During production you often realize a shot is no longer needed: you get the coverage in another shot, the scene was trimmed, or there was a creative change. Instead of deleting the shot (and losing the record), cut it. The shot stays on the list but is marked “Cut,” excluded from PDF exports and from the default view, and you add a note explaining why (e.g. “Not needed; we get this coverage in 3B” or “Scene trimmed; coverage in master”). That note is the audit trail for anyone reviewing the shot list later. How to cut a shot: In the View (or Builder), open the context menu (three dots) on the shot and choose Cut Shot. You must enter a cut note (e.g. “Coverage in 3B” or “Shot dropped; get it in insert”). Save. The shot is now marked Cut: it appears with a “Cut” label and the note is visible (e.g. on hover or in the shot detail). Cut shots are excluded from PDF exports by default and hidden in the View unless you turn on Show cut shots. Restore: If you change your mind, use the context menu → Restore. The shot returns to Not Shot and the cut note is cleared.

​
Adjust Columns

Column visibility (Status, Image, Scene, Shot, Description, Camera, Lens, Shot Size, etc.) is set via Adjust Columns (the columns/hamburger icon in the View action bar), not in the main Settings modal. Open it, toggle the columns you want, and save. Preferences are stored per project. More: Shot list, View, export, and share, Builder and coverage.
