Why is sign in now required for some features?
Some recent update added sign in to apple for features that didn’t previously need that. Why? Where was that noted on the update? Why is apple sign in needed for a timeline? OLD review: Finally Animatics! Animatics in v3 is a solid update. Easy enough to make adjustments and fine-tune. Would love to see more features in the animatic part (keyframe smoothing, walk animations…) and it would be great if there was the option for multiple cameras in one setup (like camera A, cam B) that would show not only on the storyboard at the same time, but also show the first and last keyframe in the storyboard printout as well. Great update and making 2.5 free is huge.

Had this great app since 2022 and it’s consistently improved every year
I bought this app in 2022 and was encouraged at the time by the constant development and high number of updates. I find it intuitive to use and the use of the iPad platform offers great advantages over other desktop based tools like Frame Forge that I’d already tried. The main two advantages are; touch control which just works so well for 3D movement compared to a mouse and AR mode using the iPad camera. This AR mode allows you to move around in live 3D space and take photos or videos with your characters composited with real world backgrounds. I don’t know any other tool which does this so smoothly on location. When running on an IPad Pro as the company recommends I never experienced the crashing mentioned in other reviews and now 4 years later after multiple quality updates the software still runs smoothly on that 2021 iPad Pro. I felt compelled to write this review after seeing some very out of date reviews mentioning crashing and feature requests that I know have since been met. Their app update list gives you a very good idea how many strong features have been added over the 5 or so years of the product. Recently I’ve started using it to create 3D storyboard frames as references for my occasional AI filmaking. This way you can the exact framing you want in Previs Pro and use that to ‘prompt’ the newest AI ‘Omni’ models like Seedance and Kling much better than text alone. A very strong tool for traditional filmmakers and AI filmmakers alike.

Downfall
Another case of downfall of a good app. Day by day... upgrade by upgrade it getting worst… I don’t know is it the grid or loosing interest by the developers. It was one of my favourite app… time to say good bye!
让镜头瞬间简单了
一直在用这个软件，解决了拍摄前需要分镜的问题。
PDF Import!
I LOVE Previs Pro. But, I don't use Final Draft, and exporting an .fdx file is just unnecessary for my workflow. HOWEVER, if you integrated with Scriptation for pdf import support (much like how they do for so many other apps), that would be a game changer! They can export scene data, down to props and characters with tagging, and if Previs Pro could read that data and populate the scene/character info, that would save me from doing everything manually!

File corruption and error
Not only will Previs pro not let delete and imported project, it lost all my previous work. I am student and 119$ is a lot for me. I shoot tomorrow and have no new lighting diagrams thanks to previs. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Worst ever!!
I don’t know why
Why they raised the price from 399 to 499??? No BLACK FRIDAY DEAL ON THE LIFETIME FEE?
A promising app
This app has some major strengths and one giant weakness for my personal workflow. The strengths: Great on an iPad, amazing camera emulation, fast and responsive interface for composing shots. It’s got a rich feature set for using AR on location to plan shots, it can copy your facial expression or body position onto characters, so much of it is brilliant and well thought out.
The weakness:
I have tried this app and before it I have tried a similar (if more complex) application called Frameforge 3D Studio. I won’t lie — there’s a lot to love about what they’re doing in Previs Studio but it has the same failure point (for my uses) as Frameforge and that’s this: If you want to use this to build a scene in a specific location or designed set, you will find yourself spending a LOT of time 3D modeling your set with a clunky tool set and seemingly no online tutorials. If you want, for instance, windows in a wall that look out on an exterior, that seems to not be in here. If you make a piece of furniture larger to fill up a specific footprint, it also makes it taller. Is there a way to turn that off? I don’t see it.
I want to place and block actors in a definable space and I want to do it as quickly as possible without fussing with weird controls and gizmos to move stuff around. I want to be able to drop a window or a door (with hinge) anywhere in a wall and be able to mess with the proportions until I’m happy. I want to be able to quickly dictate the dimensions of objects and primitive shapes in an easy or obvious way. I’d love to outline a 2D set and have it turn it 3D, even if it’s in a cartoony style, and get to blocking. I have nextdoor to zero interest in using uncooperative tools to brute force my set into existence over a slow and headache-inducing process.
Shot Designer only creates overheads, but the beauty of it is that one can build a set in minutes, not tens of minutes and not hours. I’m thinking about the scene, blocking, and actors. In short, I want a set that’s faster to build and customize. Maybe I’m just dreaming but I do think it’s telling that the set building tutorials Previs Pro has out there are using stock elements, not something designed. One of their example sets is from Seinfeld, but they don’t show you how to build that.
I’m completely open to being wrong about my assessment here, but I’ve watched all the tutorials and I’ve jumped into using Previs Pro for a trial period and as much as I want it to be a go-to app for my work, I can’t get over the clunky set creation tools. If someone from the company can point me in a better direction I will happily take their advice and revise this review because I want this to be my go-to application.

Clever app, let down by crashes and bugs and poor customer service
This is a very clever app but sadly it is let down by too many crashes and bugs and really poor customer service. A feature will work one moment and then not the next and sometimes it will just crash for no reason. If you do contact them don’t expect a reply.
Such a shame as this app would be a great tool…it doesnt warrant the high price because of these failings.

Such a time saver, but
I really had fun making storyboards with ease but I had problems importing models. The AI feature was good but I rarely gave me what I wanted. The app is so good but the pricing is way too much. $70nzd a month is overkill. The most I’ve spent on an app is $40nzd each for LumaFusion and ProCreate and that was to keep. No subs. App is 5 stars but price is a heavy toll.

Cool features, not worth a forever subscription
I don’t subscribe to anything before getting a legit opportunity to try it. These guys twist your arm into subscribing before even getting close to exploring the app. No app is worthy of that kind of blind trust. I have Toon Boom. I don’t need another subscription. I just needed something simple and cheap for the quick and dirty previz tasks, and this isn’t it. A gallery photo app/ quick sketch tool with good note-taking features would be enough. Even with all that, I’d have given it a chance if it didn’t try to bait me into a subscription without a really open-ended trial first.

Such a time saver!!!!
As an artist, u find this way faster than drawing. Though, I love bring tactile but when it calls for speed, this is the ticket.
Add character Pose editing
Character pose editing
Amazing and fantastic
Easy to use. So powerful. I use it on all my projects. Great customer support. Constant updates.
Game changer
This app has proven to be a vital component in my pre-pro , previs pipeline. Will use this program for years to come from here on out. Thanks!
Fine for simple storyboards
It’s okay. Pros are that’s it’s easy to learn but it’s pretty clunky when it comes to adding props which are pretty lame, the AI is a joke, you can’t change character costumes without it changing the whole board (hello…characters have costume changes!), character poses don’t include holding a cell phone (ummm?), every time I paste in a prop it puts in a random box object… this list of glitches could continue. It’s not ready for feature story boarding, that’s for sure. I do think it’s the best option for iOS at this point, but don’t expect wonders.
