Hello guys!!!

I need to ask you for help.

I have problems to see the names when I make camera plans for big areas, I'm using in it now in a reality show called Pekin Express for the Multicam games, so when I want to attach the information to the files I have to share with the crew I have to write again all the camera names. 

Also it would be nice to have more options for the names, we have 2 groups of cameras one are the hitch hiking cameras that we call them during the games R1, R2, R3... and the Multicam cameras that we call them A, B, C, D so I´m triying to mix this names but it´s not possible so I have to put numbers to the A, B, C ones and it becomes a little bit confusing.

Another problem that I have is that when I add a background image the shot description it´s very difficult to read because of the size and the color of the text.

About the lenses I would like to manage the x number x24, x45... not mm but we don´t have that option 

   
   

It would be amazing if we could have option for drone camera icon, crane cam it´s dificult to set because you have to mix a prop with a cam and to animate the movement of that camera is really difficult. 

Also it would be nice to link props so if you need to move five props together you can do it at once.

It would be nice that we could add props to the prop´s library so each one of us could have better library as much as we use your software. Scaffolding is also needed.

Is it possible to avoid using version info in the exported pdf?? 

I could give you more feedback if you want, I really like your software and I will really appreciate if you improve it.
One last thing, I´m using shot designer on a MacBook Pro M1 I hope to be able to use it here for long time, please take it in mind for the compatibility.

Kind Regards!!

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, I'm not getting notifications anymore.

Have you tried Multicam Numbering in the Shot List menu? It sounds like what you need.

The 3D version (in development) drops the concept of versions, or rather, they become a less fundamental concept, more like a note field that can be included or not.

You can do multiple selection of props. Are you able to do that? That said, in the current release version, there's a bug that the background moves with it. There's a large'ish update rolling out now, just waiting for App Store review. It's already out on Android.

We've avoided updates that change the document format, because they have to be kept separate from app functionality updates, or all hell breaks loose if there's a problem and people can't roll back. But with that out of the way, upcoming releases will break backwards compatibility in order to do features such as a greater library.
