Give pre-production your best shot

Shooting your story on a budget and under a tight schedule puts pressure on your camera crew to get it right the first time. With Celtx, you can annotate your script to generate detailed daily shot lists, so your team knows exactly what is needed to capture your creative vision.

How it works

After finishing your script, the Celtx shot list feature helps you identify shots for each scene and outline everything that your camera crew needs for an efficient shoot.

Annotate Your Script

Highlight text in your screenplay and ‘shot-tag’ them to automatically populate a shot with script information.
Detail the Shots

Help your crew understand the creative vision. The shot creation menu allows you to describe the shot and include detail like the size, frame, extra angles, and type of camera movement. Use any system preset, or create your own.
Generate a Daily Shot List

Celtx compiles a shot list for each of your shoot days automatically. Select a shoot day and create a shot list to distribute a PDF to your director and camera crew for use on set. With Celtx, you call the shots.
