FREE SHOT LIST SOFTWARE
Every shot planned, next to
the frame it belongs to.
Storyflow is a free AI canvas where your shot list lives beside the storyboard instead of in a separate spreadsheet. Generate the list from your frames or script, set the size, angle, lens, and movement per shot, and walk onto set knowing your coverage. No download, no credit card, works in any browser.

Start from a ready-made template
Pick a board to see what you can build, then let AI fill it in. Every template is a real, editable starting point on the same infinite canvas.

Pull the brief, script, shot list, and moodboard into one pre-production hub so the whole shoot is planned in one place.
What is shot list software?
Shot list software is a tool for planning every shot a production needs to capture. A shot list breaks each scene into individual setups: the shot number, the size from wide to close, the angle, the camera movement, the lens, the subject and action, and any notes on lighting or coverage. On set it becomes the checklist the director and DP work through so nothing gets missed and the edit has everything it needs. Off set it is how a crew agrees on the visual plan before the camera rolls.
Most shot lists start life in a spreadsheet or inside a production suite, disconnected from the storyboard that inspired them. That split is the problem: the frame that shows the composition lives in one tool, and the row that describes the setup lives in another, so keeping them aligned as the plan changes becomes its own job. Dedicated apps like ShotLister solved the on-set side, and web suites like StudioBinder bundle a shot list with the rest of production management, but the shot and its picture usually still live apart.
Storyflow keeps them together. It is a free AI-native infinite canvas, so the shot list and the storyboard sit on the same board. Each shot is a card next to the frame it belongs to, with its size, angle, lens, and movement in place. Generate the storyboard from your script, then ask the AI to build a shot list from it, and every setup lands beside its picture instead of in a separate document you have to cross-reference.
Because the canvas is AI-aware, the shot list is easy to keep current. Ask the AI to add coverage for a location, suggest an insert, or reorder the setups for efficiency and it updates the list without losing the frames or notes you already placed. When the plan is ready, share a view-only link so the DP and the AC review the coverage on their phones, or export the shot list as a clean PDF for the day.
HOW IT WORKS
From script to shot list in four steps.
No spreadsheet to format. The AI builds the list and keeps it beside the storyboard.
01
Open a free canvas
Sign up in seconds, no credit card. Your infinite canvas opens in the browser, ready for the storyboard and shot list.
02
Add a storyboard or paste the scene
Generate a storyboard from your script, or paste the scene you are planning. The AI reads it and lays out the frames on the board.
03
Generate the shot list
Ask the AI to build a shot list from the storyboard. Each shot lands next to its frame with size, angle, lens, and movement you can refine.
04
Share it or take it on set
Send a view-only link so the DP and crew review coverage on any device, or export a clean PDF for the shoot day binder.
The shot and its picture, on one board.
The shot list, the storyboard frames, and the scene notes on one canvas instead of a spreadsheet next to a separate storyboard tool.
AI builds the shot list from your storyboard
Generate coverage from the frames
Once the storyboard exists, the AI drafts a shot list from it, with the size, angle, lens, and movement for each setup. Refine by prompting again, no typing every row by hand.

Each shot beside its storyboard frame
Never cross-reference two tools again
The shot card sits next to the frame that shows the composition, so the DP sees the picture and the setup together. Change the frame and the shot beside it is right there to update.

Size, angle, lens, and movement per shot
The detail the DP actually needs
Capture the real language of a shot list: wide to close, the angle, the lens, the movement, and coverage notes. Lay the shots in shooting order so the day reads top to bottom.

Share on set and export for the day
Take the list where the shoot is
Send a view-only link so the DP and AC pull up the coverage on their phones without an account, or export a clean PDF for the binder. Update the plan and the link stays current.

BUILT FOR COVERAGE
Shot list software that thinks in pictures.
Storyflow is an AI-native canvas, so the shot list, the storyboard, and the plan share one board instead of exporting between a spreadsheet and a separate app.
The shot list speaks the language of the set
Plan real coverage, not just a checklist
Size, angle, lens, and movement: Capture each setup the way a DP describes it: shot size from wide to close, the angle, the lens, and the camera movement, so the plan is specific enough to shoot from.
Coverage and insert shots: Lay out the master, coverage, and inserts for a scene together so you can see at a glance whether the edit has what it needs before you leave the location.
Shooting order on set: Order the shots the way you will capture them, grouped by setup and lighting, so the list reads top to bottom instead of jumping around the scene.
The storyboard is part of the software
Keep the frame and the setup together
Generate the storyboard first: Paste a scene and the AI lays out storyboard frames, then builds the shot list from them, so the picture and the setup are created together, not reconciled later.
Sketch and pin references: Draw over frames, pin reference stills grabbed from YouTube or Vimeo, and mark up the composition beside the shot that captures it.
Canvas-aware AI: Ask for more coverage, an alternate angle, or a tighter list and the AI updates it while keeping the frames and notes you already placed.
The list travels with the rest of the plan
Connected to the whole shoot
Beside the schedule and call sheet: Keep the shot list on the same board as the shooting schedule and the day's call sheet, so a day's coverage sits next to when and where it is shot.
One board per project: Organize every scene's shot list on one project board, so the whole film's coverage is in one place, not a folder of separate spreadsheets.
Reuse across productions: Duplicate a shot list board as a starting point for the next scene or project, keeping the structure and adjusting the specifics.
Share and export for the day
Get the coverage to the crew
View-only links on any device: The DP, AC, and director pull up the shot list on their phones from a view-only link, no account, and always see the current version.
Clean PDF export: Export the shot list as a print-ready PDF for the on-set binder whenever you want a fixed copy to work from.
Works in any browser: Nothing to install. Open the board on set, in the office, or on location on any device with a modern browser.
Explore templates for your project
Every template opens as a real, editable board on the infinite canvas. Pick the closest fit and make it your own.
Pre-Production
Pull the brief, script, shot list, and moodboard into one pre-production hub so the whole shoot is planned in one place.
