Storyboard and previs software for film
Every frame is a shot on your shot list. Add photos, sketches or previs stills to a shot, read the sequence in a line or in a grid, and export a PDF with the shot data under each frame.
Reorder the frames and the shot list follows.

One panel per shot, as many images as you need
A panel shows the image with the shot number, type, lens, movement and description under it. Add several images to a shot and swipe through them.
Change the lens on the panel and the shot list has it too.
The storyboard is the shot list, seen as pictures
A frame added on the storyboard shows in the shot list, and a shot added in the list gets an empty panel waiting for its image.
Drag a panel into another scene and the shot moves with it.
The same frames on the AV script
For commercials, the frames sit beside each row of the two-column AV script, so the client sees the picture next to the voice-over.
Share it by link, and the client comments and approves row by row.

What Directors & Producers Say
Cinelog Saves Lives
"After using Cinelog on a recent commercial, our production team decided to implement it onto our feature film set. Every department was easily onboarded and being able to upload previs and our shots kept us moving."
Game Changer, don't Start Production Without it!
"I stumbled onto this app and gave it a shot, and it's completely changed how my team and I approach pre-production. Scripting, shot lists, storyboards, cast, crew, call sheets — it's all in one ecosystem, which makes team collaboration seamless and transitions us right into the production stage without missing a beat. It's clear this app was built for the film industry by people who actually work in it."
"Super useful for planning video shoots and getting everyone on the same page. I like that it can be clean and simple for smaller productions (like making a call sheet and basic shotlist), but has lots of customizability for bigger shoots too (in depth shotlist data, sending different crew members relevant info, storyboarding, etc)."
"As a commercial and film producer this app has helped my team tremendously in all our projects, either commercials or films, I can't recommend this app enough."
All in one production tool!
"I love how I have everything I need all in one place. I've been using this for all of my pre-production needs as I produce my first feature film and it's made my workflow way more efficient."
"Honestly, the best pre-production tool I’ve used so far. It’s clean, easy to use, and doesn’t overcomplicate things. I love that I can keep working on my phone even when I’m away from my PC, that flexibility is a game changer. Big thanks to the team for building something this practical and well thought out."
Incredible tool with a bright future
"CineLog is still fresh but most certainly off to the races. This tool does an incredible job of centralizing a chunk of your creative pre-production workflow items, and making them all work seamlessly with one another to help you spend less time complaining about tech and more time developing that film/commercial. Had to leave some room for improvement as the app is ever evolving and expanding with new ideas and feedback. The app creators have certainly done a fabulous job here so far and it's absolutely worth diving into for your next project."
Common questions
Do I draw the frames in CineLog?
CineLog keeps the frames with the shots. Draw on paper or in any drawing app, photograph the location, or render a previs still, then add the image to the shot.
What is previs in CineLog?
The images on a shot: a sketch, a location photo, a frame from a 3D previs tool or a reference still. Each shot can hold several.
Does the storyboard change the shot list?
Yes, they are the same shots. Drag a panel to another scene and the shot moves. Edit the lens on a panel and the list shows it.
What is on the PDF?
Each frame with its shot number, type, lens, movement and description, one scene or the whole script, portrait or landscape.
What does it cost?
The free plan includes one project with every tool, storyboards included. Filmmaker is $15 a month and Production Company is $40 a month. On every plan, the crew you invite does not pay for a seat.
