## What is Previs Shot?

Previs Shot keeps the whole shoot in one project: shot list, storyboard, shooting schedule, call sheet and continuity log, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Projects sync through iCloud, and every sheet exports to PDF or Excel, ready to send to cast and crew.

[Shot List]
• Flexibly edit shot list tables with selection and text-input modes for shot size, camera movement, lens type, and more;
• Switch between thumbnail, text-only, and storyboard views with one tap;
• Storyboard frames support multiple aspect ratios — import images or draw freehand with auto-crop;
• Custom columns: add your own fields to fit any workflow;

[Schedule]
• Reorganize shots into shooting scenes and plan day-by-day schedules;
• Quick filter, sort, and batch edit — your best production planning assistant;
• Coordinate cast, locations, and work hours to stay on budget;

[Call Sheet]
• Schedule, location, cast, crew, and client info all in one clear view;
• Auto-import scenes and shots from your schedule — simple, efficient, nothing missed;
• Quickly import from your address book, contacts, and crew database;
• Set reminder notifications so you never miss a shoot;

[Continuity Log]
• Score and mark shots as complete to track shooting progress in real time;
• Digital clapperboard auto-fills scene info — efficient and stress-free;
• Continuity reports are recorded automatically during shooting — export and deliver as soon as you wrap;
• Multi-camera management to coordinate info across multiple cameras;

[Teleprompter]
• Prompt any shot list in one tap: dialogue and shot content in shot order, filtered by role, with per-shot rewrites;
• Prompt standalone scripts too: paste text, or import Word, PDF, TXT, Markdown, Final Draft and Fountain files;
• Mirror for teleprompter glass, let voice follow keep pace as you read, and control it from an iPhone;

[Canvas]
• Draw and annotate freely on storyboard frames to express your creative vision;

[Export & Collaboration]
• Export to PDF and Excel (XLSX) for print and data analysis;
• Shot lists, schedules, call sheets, and continuity logs can each be exported independently;
• Export and import .previs project files for easy team sharing;

[iCloud Sync]
• Project data syncs automatically via iCloud for a seamless cross-device experience;
• Smart conflict resolution — edit on multiple devices without losing data;

[More Highlights]
• Undo & Redo: edit with confidence, roll back anytime;
• Dark Mode: adapts to your system appearance, bringing a touch of warmth to your workflow;
• Font size adjustment: three sizes to match your reading preference;
• Project presets & templates: save your setup and start new projects fast;
• Merge projects: combine multiple Previs projects into one;

### 5/5 — 这里有一个bug

*2026-08-14*

Bug描述：
设备：iPad Air 6
系统版本：iPadOS 18.3.2
App版本：Previs Shot 4.7.0
复现步骤：
 
​
1. 在项目内从相册手动上传参考图，项目内图片显示正常；
​
2. 不删除相册原图，不修改图片，不开启iCloud照片优化；
​
3. 退出当前项目，回到项目列表，停留一段时间，再次打开同一个项目；
​
4. 参考图提示【图片加载失败，请重新上传】。
 
问题根源：App仅保存iOS相册临时授权URI，没有把图片拷贝嵌入工程文件。只要离开项目会话，临时访问令牌失效。
希望修复：导入相册图片时，把图片二进制复制存入项目包，而不是只保存临时相册路径。

**Developer response:** 收到反馈，图片是复制了的，我检查修复下，感谢

### 5/5 — 非常实用

*2026-07-13*

分镜、拍摄筹备、场记都好用

### 1/5 — One star

*2025-12-05*

I have Previs pro from this developer. Payed. And there’s promotion of Unsnap that makes me crazy. It changes every three seconds. I can’t work. One star until you remove that crazy stuff.

### 4/5 — Great APP to get my storyboards done

*2025-09-26, version 3.4.0*

Just great would love if they link the file app and not just photos and maybe even next step sample video with key frame option

### 3/5 — Плохо

*2025-08-04*

Ужасная русская локализация, неудобный интерфейс и невозможность начать сцену с ноля, с не с единицы

### 4/5 — This is great but..

*2025-06-12*

Please give the option to create an account, add the ability to add "Camera" to the shot list, and add a One-Time payment option. With the right features... I would happily pay $80 for lifetime access.

### 4/5 — Almost brilliant

*2025-06-10, version 3.1.0*

I’ve been using this app for about a week now and I love it. As a director who can draw to a very basic level rather a storyboard artist, I can see Previs Shot being invaluable as way to get my ideas out. Workflow feels fluid, the app is simple to use. The layer function and ability to import images is fantastic. 

A few of bugs here and there are what prevent me from giving this a 5 star rating. Here are the bugs I’ve encountered so far:

1) if I draw from outside the top of the page down, the line I’ve drawn will disappear.

2) I’m not able to put spaces between words when naming the sequence (slugline). So instead of it reading “INT. SUBURBAN HOUSE - BEDROOM - DAY” I have to use underscores so it ends up reading like “INT. SUBURBAN_HOUSE_-_BEDROOM - DAY”

3) There is no way to duplicate the first shot in a sequence without it also duplicating the sequence header. You also can’t delete the header without also deleting the shot you’ve duplicated. There’s no workaround for this other than screenshotting your drawing and then importing it as an image. But this disrupts your workflow.

To summarise, I’m in love with this app and I want to upgrade to the annual subscription. But until the bugs are fixed I’ll likely hold off for now.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-05-11, version 2.19.0*

Layers don’t work, the only drawings tools are the ones you can find in Notes app, importing images doesn’t work either

### 5/5 — Superb and simple storyboarding software

*2024-11-03, version 2.10.0*

I’ve only been using this 20 minutes, and realised it is excellent.  I can get storyboards done fast, the drawing tools are excellent and the whole interface is easy and professional to use. I love it and highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — 太专业了

*2024-08-16*

软件非常好用，而且开发者还不断更新，贴合导演、制片需求。
