7 · Build your shot list

Start with a template

If you don’t want to plan your video’s sections from scratch, you can start by choosing a template.

  1. Open the Shot list window.
  2. Choose a template that suits your video in Start from a template.
  3. Browse the ready-made slots; each represents a section you could include in your video.
  4. If you like, change the section names and order to fit your story.
Template Ready-made slots
Vlog opening · journey · main subject · b-roll · closing
Product review box · opening · close-up · use · result
Venue tour exterior · entrance · interior · detail · crowd
Recipe ingredients · prep · pour · serving · tasting
Event arrival · atmosphere · main moment · people · closing
Travel arrival · street · food · scenery · return

Each template starts with five slots. They’re a starting suggestion, not fixed rules. You can delete a section you don’t want, add new ones, or adapt the whole list to your story.

Slot names are saved in the interface language you used when creating the list. If you change the app language later, slot names you’ve already created won’t be translated automatically.
