Hello,
I was wondering if it’s possible to change the export location in shot designer. If it’s not possible at the moment, I would love to see this feature added.
Hi,
Thanks for posting! Let me explain which part of the feature is flexible. It would be possible to allow selecting another root folder to export to.
But the export process depends heavily on having guaranteed write access while it’s working, which is why each export goes into a new folder. The current app was written in AIR, and we have somewhat limited access to knowing what’s going on in the file system, and it’s different between platforms. These issues are side-stepped by writing into a new folder every time.
So the question is if changing the root folder even helps you? That’s a little more doable, and easy to revert if the folder suddenly isn’t available.
The new Shot Designer 3D is written in Unreal Engine C++, and we have much better control.

Thanks for the quick reply Per. That makes sense. My use case is exporting the pdfs and jpegs directly into a google drive folder, but as it is, an extra step is not the end of the world.
Excited to hear more about the Shot Designer 3D. Do you have any info you can share about that project? Looking forward to checking it out.
Hi,
The 3D app is a whole other ballgame. If all the stars align, there may be a beta at the end of the year.
