Previs Pro vs Middle Setup

Create 3D storyboards in your iPad or iPhone using simple taps, swipes, and gestures that you already know. Filmmakers, directors, cinematographers, video creators, and screenwriters know that you MUST storyboard your shots and scenes BEFORE you roll camera. Previsualize every shot in your scene AND every scene in your script. Experiment - with 2D and 3D real-time views - to find the very best shot for your film or video. PURCHASE OPTIONS Annual - under US$15 per month average Lifetime - own it forever STORYBOARD FAST With Previs Pro, quickly build a 3D set populated with buildings, props, and characters. Position your camera and lights for the perfect shot. Add a second shot - perhaps a Close-Up or Cutaway - by just moving the camera into position. Add more shots until your scene is complete. ** Final Draft Import ** Import every scene and character from your Final Draft script. You’re halfway finished before you even start. Works with Final Draft 12! STORYBOARD EASY Experimenting with different types of shots is a breeze. Simply move the camera around the 3D set until you find your shot. Pan left, tilt up, dolly in, or zoom. Your view of the shot is always updated in real-time. What you see is truly what you get. STORYBOARD ANYWHERE Storyboard where and when inspiration strikes. If you're in the middle of production and a shot isn't working, then pull out your iPhone and design a shot that does work. Send and share the new shot with your entire cast and crew. The best storyboard is the one in your pocket — that you can change, and share whenever necessary. ** Augmented Reality ** With our A/R feature, you can place your virtual props and characters into a real-world location - the streets of London, on a bridge in Paris, or your own backyard - and start building shots in the same exact location where you plan to shoot. Can't get there to use A/R? No problem. Import a photo or image of your location into your shot and use it as a "proxy". It's the next best thing to being there. STORYBOARD LIKE THE PROS At some point, you need to turn your shots in Previs Pro into storyboards for your cast and crew. If you're a director, you need to create a shot list. If you're a cinematographer or DP, you need information on camera type, lenses, and aspect ratios. If you're doing it all yourself, then you need all this information. With Previs Pro, you can export storyboards as printable PDF's or shareable graphics files. You can include as much rich data as needed, or show nothing but the Camera View.
