What Shotree is
Shotree is a web-based storyboard tool that turns an uploaded frame into nine possible next-shot directions: closer, wider, reverse, detail, cutaway, offscreen, temporal, pressure, and leap. Choose a direction to extend it into a storyboard branch, or start another round from an existing branch to keep the sequence in one tree. Each Boom costs 6 credits; 2K upscaling costs 2 credits and 4K costs 4 credits. New signups receive 20 credits, enough for three Booms, without a credit card. An account is required for core features. Starter costs $19 a month for 220 credits, described as about 36 Booms. Creator costs $49 a month for 560 credits, and Studio costs $129 a month for 1500 credits, described as about 250 Booms; Studio includes unlimited 4K upscaling. One-time top-ups start at 29.00 USD for 300 credits that never expire. A yearly subscription option is advertised as saving 20%. Shotree says users retain ownership of uploaded reference images and generated storyboard content.
