What ShotPro is
ShotPro is a previsualization tool for productions, schools, indie groups and individuals planning stories and scenes. Projects group scenes into sequences that users can arrange, rename, annotate and build from built-in or custom templates. A 2D mode handles character, camera and prop movements; a 3D mode helps refine a scene’s appearance. ProCam provides controls for aperture, focus distance, ISO, shutter speed, lens size, depth of field and camera shake. Users can import FBX objects, audio, 3D characters and images, including those with alpha channels. Its timeline supports camera movement and cuts, voiceovers, text, print markers and face-capture tracks, with some tracks requiring expansion packs. Movies can be exported up to 4K at 24, 30 or 60 fps, and storyboard frames can be printed with notes. Plans include subscriptions and perpetual licenses. The Standalone Single license costs $35, paid once for one Mac or Windows machine. ShotPro is listed for Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows.
