What it does
Everything a filmmaker Needs
01
Lens Simulation

Simulate focal lengths from ultra-wide to telephoto. Understand how any lens will compress or widen your scene before renting a single piece of gear.

02
Aspect Ratio Preview

Instantly overlay any cinematic or broadcast ratio — 1.85:1, 2.39:1, 4:3, 16:9 and more. Visualize exactly what gets cropped.

03
Rule of Thirds Grid

Toggle compositional guides on-screen to nail your framing in real time, whether scouting or blocking actors on set.

04
Shot Notes & Export

Save frames with metadata — lens, ratio, and your notes — to a shareable PDF shot list. Your whole crew stays on the same page.

05
Depth of Field Guide

Input aperture and focus distance to visualize depth of field. Know exactly what stays sharp before you call action.

06
Works Offline

No internet required. Take it to remote locations, underground sets, or rooftops. Your viewfinder is always ready.
