Tools

Everything a director needs
to think visually

NextShot gives you a visual canvas to develop your story beat by beat — branching, editing, and evolving each shot without losing continuity.

🎬

Branch Scenes

Upload a scene image, write your director's note, and instantly get two cinematic directions — a wide establishing shot and a coverage shot. Each one can branch further into a full sequence.

✎

Edit Frames In-Place

Don't branch — just refine. Click the edit button on any generated frame and describe your change. Remove an element, adjust the lighting, age a character. Only what you asked changes; everything else stays intact.

🌍

360° Scene Control

Your scene evolves wherever you take it. Same characters, new environment. Move your subject to the kitchen, rooftop, or into an exterior — the model locks character continuity while the world changes around them.

📎

Drop a Reference

Attach a reference image to borrow a specific element — a lens style, lighting mood, or color grade. NextShot extracts only what you specify and keeps your characters and environment locked to your original scene.

🎞

Infinite Canvas

All your scenes live on a zoomable, pannable canvas. Drag nodes around, zoom in to inspect a frame, pan across your whole story map. Drop images from your clipboard or disk anywhere on the canvas.

☁️

Save & Sync Projects

Projects save automatically and sync across sessions. Sign in with Google, pick up where you left off on any device. Your canvas is always there when the next idea hits.

Process

From a single frame
to a full shot map

01 🖼

Upload your scene

Drop any image onto the canvas — a still from a film, a photo, a mood board frame, or a screenshot. This is your starting point.

02 🎙

Write your director's note

Describe where the scene goes next. Move the camera, change the action, shift the location, or call a specific shot type.

03 ⚡

Generate two directions

NextShot generates a wide establishing shot and a coverage shot — two cinematic interpretations of your note, both with full scene continuity.

04 ✂️

Edit or evolve

Refine any frame in-place with a surgical edit, or branch it further to develop the sequence — building out your full visual story.

Pro Tip

Start with great references

NextShot works best when you give it strong material to work from. The quality of your starting frame directly shapes the quality of what gets generated.

💡

Use cinematic stills, film screenshots, or high-quality photography

The model reads your reference image for character continuity, lighting, and spatial geometry. A well-lit, clearly composed image gives it more to work with — and produces significantly better results than a blurry, low-contrast, or cluttered reference.

🎯

Be specific in your director's note

The model responds well to concrete instructions. Instead of "make it dramatic," try "low angle, high contrast lighting, subject in foreground with blurred depth behind them." Call out shot types by name — OTS, POV, Dutch tilt, tracking shot — and the model will execute them.
