What are shots?

Shots allow you to capture a camera position and add optional cinematographic movements around it to create moving shots (like those used in car commercials).

View Shots

You can create the following types of shots.

Press T (or select Story > Camera Shots). The Shots interface appears in the lower left corner of the window.

Types of shots

Still (no motion): The camera does not move during the shot (it may move for the transition into the shot).

Select Story > Create Shot > Still.

For details, see Create and set up a still shot (no motion).
Start to end (two keyframes): The camera moves from one keyframe to another. Select Story > Create Shot > Start to End or click on the Create button. Create and set up a moving shot (two keyframes)
Cinematic (one keyframe plus path): The camera moves along a predefined path relative to a single keyframe. Select Story > Create Shot > Cinematic Orbit, and change the Motion type parameter to Cinematic (one keyframe plus path). Create and set up a cinematic shot (one keyframe).

Note
A small camera icon appears over two-keyframe and cinematic shots:
