The tech scout, organized. FilmScout Pro is the location logging tool built for film and TV production — capture every photo, video, and logistical detail that determines whether a shoot day goes smoothly or falls apart, then export it all as a clean PDF.

Walk a location once and log everything your director, DP, AD, and producers need to plan around — no second trip, no surprises on the day. FEATURES • Capture photos and video of every location • Draw and annotate directly on photos to mark camera positions, hazards, and access points • Log power availability, cell service, and wifi for every location • Note ambient noise levels and traffic patterns that affect sound and scheduling • Automatic sunrise, sunset, and golden-hour times for any location and date • Store film permit office contacts and permit details per location • Record every detail that matters — access, parking, restrooms, contacts, restrictions • Organize locations by project and scene • Export a complete PDF location report with all your data, ready to share Whether you're a location manager, director, producer, or producing your own work solo, FilmScout Pro replaces scattered photos, notes, and group texts with one complete location record — and a polished PDF you can hand to anyone.
