Shot Lister

Unfortunately the app has limits and it’s as if the developers have NEVER been on a film set or broken down a major motion picture. It’s needs more integration, and customization because it lacks in the ability for the app to be used by the professional. Editing from different drafts is impossible. Selecting multiple strips -impossible. Integrating fully with Scriptation — impossible. Being a DP there is a lot to consider in any cinema app and most are a waste of money. This may work up to a limit but there needs to be far more work out into it to be able to be a powerful tool for any filmmaker. My advice to the developers is give a free pro demo to working feature film and tv DPs and directors and get their feedback. Fix the app bc it seems this is not ready for prime time…yet.

As a longtime user of both Shot Lister (all my FunnyorDie shorts) and Scriptation (both features), I was thrilled when they announced app integration. Now, each one is synced up when there are script changes, reflecting the difference in page length in each app. And when I’m doing my shot list, one simple click will take me back to the script in Scriptation to make sure I haven’t forgotten anything. A perfect, flawless integration and absolutely vital for directors.

I started using this app a few months back, I like the overall layout and features- however recently it’s been bugging out when I try to do nearly anything. I type a single line and it will exit the scene I’m working on and send me back to the main page. It does this constantly. I have updated the app to its newest version and still have this issue. I have also reached out to the support email and sent a screen recording of my issue and it’s been over a week with no response. Unfortunately on my phone this application is nearly unusable.
