Shot list spreadsheet Pro

Spreadsheets are great for analysis, planning, and scheduling. A shot list export turns your storyboard into a structured table — one row per shot, one column per note field.

Spreadsheet export is available on the Pro plan.

How do I export a spreadsheet?

  1. Press X to open the Export view.
  2. Set your destination folder.
  3. Toggle Shot list / Spreadsheet on.
  4. Click Add to Queue.
  5. The result is a .xlsx file you can open in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets.

What columns are included?

Each row is one shot or merged section. Built-in columns:

  • Shot Number
  • Start Time (HH:MM:SS.mmm)
  • End Time (HH:MM:SS.mmm)
  • Duration (seconds)
  • Frames (start–end)
  • Favorited (true/false)

Then every visible note field appears as a column — both the default fields and any custom fields you've created.

Can I control which columns appear?

Yes. Toggle the Notes & Data Fields menu in the editor before you export, and untick any field you don't want as a column. Hidden fields aren't included.

What format are the columns for tags and dropdowns?

  • Dropdown values appear as the single chosen option (e.g. Close-up).
  • Tag values are comma-separated within a single cell (e.g. Drone, Daylight, Wide).
  • Checkbox values are TRUE / FALSE.

This makes it easy to filter or pivot in Excel.

Can I import the spreadsheet back into StoryFolder?

Not yet. The shot list export is one-way. We're working on round-tripping.

What about CSV?

The current export format is .xlsx. To get CSV, open the file in Excel or Sheets and use Save As → CSV.

Why isn't this option available?

If the toggle is greyed out and shows an upgrade prompt, you're on the Free plan. See Compare plans to upgrade.
