What ShotPro is
ShotPro is a previsualization tool for productions, schools, indie groups, and individuals planning stories and scenes. Projects contain ordered sequences of scenes that users can rename, annotate, and create from built-in or custom templates. A 2D mode sets character, camera, and prop movements, while 3D mode refines a scene’s appearance. ProCam controls include aperture, focus distance, ISO, shutter speed, lens size, depth of field, and camera shake. Users can import FBX objects, audio clips, 3D characters, and images, including alpha-channel images. The timeline supports camera movements and cuts, voiceovers, text, print markers, and face-capture tracks; some tracks require expansion packs. Movies can be exported up to 4K at 24, 30, or 60 fps, and storyboard frames can be printed with notes. An iOS-only AR expansion pack places 3D objects over live camera views. ShotPro S Monthly costs $9.99 a month, while the Standalone Single license costs $35, paid once for one Mac or Windows machine.
