What's New in Artemis Director's Viewfinder

8.12.1

October 29, 2026

Bug fixes and performance improvements. 8.12 also introduces XR Stand ins: - Place a life size digital stand in exactly where your actor will perform. Walk around it on location and frame shots from any angle before your shoot begins. - Plan lighting with confidence. Choose the date and time of your shoot to preview where the stand in shadows will fall. - On LiDAR equipped devices, real objects such as doorways, furniture and walls can hide the stand in just as they would hide an actor. - Save an XR scene and return to it later. Scenes sync through iCloud, making it easy to continue planning or share setups with your crew. - XR Stand ins are included with an Artemis subscription, along with Helios, External Camera Mode and what3words. - Also added Brazilian Portuguese and Polish support, plus bug fixes and performance improvements.

Tremenda herramienta

Excelente para trabajar

Super pro, used it for years

I am an AFC cinematographer and use it on every shoot, commercial, fiction, music videos. Can calibrate easily if needed, huge camera and lens database, sun position integration, 3D stand ins, remote control, LUTs, custom frame lines… I use it all. Easy to setup and share setups with team and directors. Bravo to the dev team !

very useful app

It’s very useful on location, scouting and pre-production work fantastic app

Artemis DV is a must have for people in the film business

My iPhone with DV is the only tool I take will h me on a location tour

Worth Every Penny for Working Professionals

Every time I open this app, I discover some new functionality that just works exactly the way I need it to.

The upfront cost is more than most apps you’d find here, but if you are a working photographer, cinematographer, or other production professional, this app can easily pay for itself the first time you use it. It is incredibly well thought out, feature packed, and clearly designed by people who understand what actually happens in the field.

What impresses me most is that there always seems to be some little capability I did not even realize was there until I need it. I am in the middle of a location scout as I write this, and once again I discovered a feature that immediately solved a problem and made the scout more useful.

Artemis has become one of those professional tools that has earned its place in the kit. It is exceptionally capable, thoughtfully designed, and absolutely worth the investment.
