What Shotree is
Shotree is a web storyboard tool that turns an uploaded frame into nine possible next-shot directions: closer, wider, reverse, detail, cutaway, offscreen, temporal, pressure, and leap. Selecting a direction grows it into a storyboard branch, and an existing branch can start another round while the sequence remains in one storyboard tree. The service supports shot sequencing, frame generation, and shot annotations. A Boom costs 6 credits; 2K upscaling costs 2 credits and 4K upscaling costs 4 credits. New signups receive 20 credits, enough for three Booms, without a credit card. Monthly plans start with Starter at $19 a month for 220 credits, while Creator provides 560 credits for $49 a month and Studio provides 1500 credits for $129 a month with unlimited 4K upscaling. One-time credit top-ups are available, and credits on those top-ups never expire.
