Export
shotlists can be exported via the Shotlist Options > Export Dialog by any Collaborator who can view the Shotlist. Before exporting, the shotlist can be filtered to only include specific shots or scenes.
Configuration
Currently the following Formats are supported:
- PDF: exports the table in a standard, print-ready, PDF format
- CSV (full): exports all the shots with scene headings in between, this makes it technically not a valid CSV file but includes all the data
- CSV (shots only): exports only the shots one after the other with no scene information other than a number in front of the shot letter
Using the Scenes filter you can control which scenes to include in the export. If a Scene is not included in the "Scenes" filter it will never be included, even if a custom filter matches a shot inside.
Using the Add Filter button, you can add a Custom Filter for any multiselect or singleselect attribute. You can then select a list of values that qualify for said filter. If you add a second filter, every shot/scene has to pass both the first and the second filter.
Examples
Scenes having the singleselect attribute "Location" and the multiselect attribute "Props" and Shots having a singleselect attribute called "Size" and another called "Movement".
By setting the "Scenes" Filter to "1, 3", scene 2 and its shots will never be included. Scene 1 and 3 could be included if all other filters pass.
By adding a custom filter for "Location" = "House" and adding a custom filter for "Props" = "Bottle, Gun" - Only scenes with "Location" = "House" and "Props" = "Bottle" or "Gun" or "Bottle, Gun" will be displayed.
| Scene | Location | Props | Passes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | "House" | "Cup, Flashlight" | No |
| 2 | "House" | "Bottle" | No (The Scenes Filter does not match) |
| 3 | "House" | "Gun, Flashlight" | Yes |
This means that only Shots in Scene 3 will be displayed, Scene 1 and 2 are ignored completely.
By adding a custom filter for "Size" = "Medium Shot, Long Shot" and adding a custom filter for "Movement" = "Static" - Only shots with "Size" = "Medium Shot" or "Long Shot" and "Movement" = "Static" will be displayed.
There are 4 shots in the scene number 3:
| Shot | Size | Movement | Passes |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | "Medium Shot" | "Push In" | No |
| B | "Medium Shot" | "Static" | Yes |
| C | "Close Up" | "Static" | No |
| D | "Close Up" | "Push In" | Yes |
So in the end only Scene 3 and its shot B and D will be displayed in the final export.
If none of the Shots in a Scene pass the custom filters, the scene will not be displayed even if it was included in the "Scenes" Filter.
