Images as shots

Not built yet

Importing still images as shots is planned and not built yet.

Not all portfolio work moves. A model render, a lookdev frame or a concept painting is a shot too: ShotWork imports still images as shots you describe, rate and filter like any other, and puts them on a reel for as long as you choose.

Before you start

Steps

  1. Choose File › Import Clips… (Ctrl+I) and select the images, or File › Import Clips from Folder… and select a folder of them.
  2. Read the summary.
  3. Choose the add button.
  4. Describe, tag and rate the new shots as usual. See Describe a shot.

What happens

Each image becomes a source with one shot, named after its file, and its thumbnail is the image itself.

  • An image shot has no length of its own. On a reel it holds for a default length, and Holds for sets any other.
  • Everything that works on shots works on it: the filter box, the reel's shot picker, draft reels and the AI assistant.
  • Batch export writes it as a still clip of the chosen length, with its metadata file beside it.
  • It is a shot, not a slideshow. Each image is one shot, and the reel decides how long it holds and what comes before and after it.
