What is CamPlot Studio?
It is the studio behind three apps for directors and the camera department:
CamPlot Creator, the overhead multicam plot tool; the
CamPlot Director’s Viewfinder; and
CamPlot Calculators. They are separate apps because they are used at separate moments — prep, scout, and set — but they share one account, one visual language, and one subscription.
What happens when I sign in with Google?
Signing in with Google, Apple or an email and password creates your CamPlot Studio account — the one account that opens CamPlot Creator, the Viewfinder and the Calculators on the web, iPhone, iPad and Mac, and keeps your plots, your lens kit and your subscription with you on every device. From Google we receive only your name, email address and profile picture. We never see your password, never ask for your Gmail, Drive or anything else in your Google Account, and never sell or advertise with what we receive. The
Privacy Policy spells out how it is stored and how to delete it.
Do I need three accounts, or three subscriptions?
One of each. Sign in once and every app you are entitled to opens; buy CamPlot Max or CamPlot Plus anywhere — the web, either iOS app — and it applies everywhere immediately. You are never asked to buy the same thing twice.
Does my crew have to pay?
No. Anyone you share a plot with views it free, forever, on CamPlot Crew — including live updates as you change it, the camera and inventory reports, push notifications when something moves, and all five Calculators. Only the person creating plots needs CamPlot Max. Crew who want private markup, PDF export, or the full Viewfinder in their own pocket can add CamPlot Plus for themselves, but nobody has to.
Are the Calculators really free?
Yes — all five tools, every control, at every account level, CamPlot Crew included. There is no upgrade to reach for inside them. Make an account and they are yours; if you are signed out they run in a locked demo, so the only thing the gate protects is the sign-up.
What is the difference between CamPlot Plus and CamPlot Max?
CamPlot Max is for the person building the plots — creating, editing and sharing them, with everything CamPlot Creator can do. CamPlot Plus is the crew upgrade: it keeps free viewing and adds the full Director’s Viewfinder, private markup and notes on plots shared with you, and PDF export. Every CamPlot Max plan already includes CamPlot Plus.
Which devices do these run on?
CamPlot Creator runs in any browser and as a real app on
Mac,
iPhone and iPad, Android, Chrome and Edge — and installs to the home screen on all of them. The Viewfinder and the Calculators are iPhone and iPad apps that also run inside CamPlot Creator in the browser. It is the same project everywhere, on the same account.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Install it and it opens and works offline — in the truck, in the arena, on a stage with no bars. Your changes sync the moment you are back, and merge with anything that changed while you were gone.
How do payments work?
On the web, billing is handled securely by Stripe; in the iOS apps it goes through your Apple ID. Prices are identical either way — there is no platform markup. You can switch between monthly and annual, or cancel, from your account, with no emails and no phone calls.
