7 · Build your shot list

List menu

From the list menu, you can switch to another list or do the following:

Menu option What it does
Other lists Switches to another shot list.
Edit this list Opens the editing view.
New list… Opens the start screen where you can choose a template or an empty list.
What is a shot list? Opens a short help screen.
Delete list Deletes the list after you confirm a second time.
Close list Closes the window; the list isn’t deleted.

The What is a shot list? help screen explains the idea with a live example:

  • Divide your video into sections: opening, main moment, closing… Each section is a slot.
  • Choose a clip from your library and click a slot, or drag and drop the clip.
  • An empty slot means you haven’t picked a shot for that section yet. 3/6 means three of six sections are ready.
  • The clip’s folder and culling decision don’t change; the list only keeps its order in the story.

Close the help screen with Got it or Esc.
