Scene Planner
Get the app

For iPhone, iPad and Mac

Plan the shot before you shoot it.

Build your set at real-world size, look through every camera in 3D, animate the move and hand your team the plan.

01

Design your film set

Search for anything, drop it on the plan, move the camera, and see exactly what that camera sees.

Organize, export, hand it over

Keep a whole project together, then send your crew what they need: video of your animated shots, or PDFs they can print and mark up.

Collections · Pro

Every scene of a project, in one place

Put the scenes of a film, a shoot day or a pitch into a collection. Number them, put them in shoot order with day breaks, and attach the script pages to each scene.

  • Export the whole project at onceOne PDF or one set of clips for every scene, in shoot order, instead of exporting scene by scene.
  • Everything stays togetherThe PDFs you export are kept with their scenes, so the latest version is always where you left it.

Pro also includes 8 more locations.

Which locations are included with Pro?

High-End Office, Workshop, Warehouse, Coffee Shop, Basement, House Exterior, Gym, and Public Library, in addition to the 4 free locations.

Does Pro include every location pack?

No. Pro includes its own 8 locations. Location packs (Nine to Five, After Hours, Out & About, and Film Sets 1) are sold separately.

Can I buy location packs without Pro?

Yes. Location packs work with the free version. Pro is not required.

Does buying a location pack unlock Pro features?

No. A pack adds locations to your library. Your camera limit and other feature limits stay the same, and Pro tools stay locked until you get Pro.

Is Pro a one-time purchase or a subscription?

Pro is a one-time purchase, with no subscription. Each location pack is a one-time purchase too. Restore Purchases brings them back on a new device.
