Arrive on set with the light planned and a map the whole crew can understand. Raccord Lighting helps you create complete lighting plots, place lights and modifiers, check electrical distribution, and prepare the production’s technical material. Start by drawing the floor plan from scratch or, on supported iPhones and iPads, scan the room in 3D to automatically create the base of the plot. Then adjust walls and measurements, organize equipment, and build the lighting setup. CREATE THE LIGHTING PLOT Build a clear representation of the space before the shoot. Work to scale, place lights, modifiers, and set elements, and make dimensions, directions, and notes easy to understand. • Draw walls, doors, and room elements. • Scan the space in 3D on supported devices. • Place lights and modifiers. • Organize the plot with dimensions, layers, and labels. • See light direction with Smart Beams. CHECK THE POWER • Organize sources, circuits, and loads. • Review watts, amps, available capacity, and overload warnings. • Estimate battery and generator runtime for the setup. HAND IT TO THE CREW • Export plots as PDF, PNG, or JPEG. • Generate a technical pack, electric report, rental list, and CSV. • Review the document before sharing it with the crew or rental house. USE THE RIGHT DEVICE Work on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Projects remain available locally and can sync through iCloud when it is available. Smart Beams are a 2D visual aid, not a lux simulation. The app does not control lights or DMX consoles. Free mode lets you try the main workflow with creation limits. Raccord Lighting Pro removes those limits; plans and prices are shown by the App Store.
