Questions

CamPlot Creator, in short

What is CamPlot Creator?

CamPlot Creator is an overhead camera plot app for directors, DPs, technical directors and camera crews. You place cameras, subjects, lights and mics on a to-scale ground plan; every camera shows the real field of view of its body, sensor window and lens; and the plot becomes a camera report and a live link the whole crew can open. It runs in any browser and as a native app on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Who is it for?

Multicam shoots most of all — unscripted and reality TV, competition and talk shows, concerts, award shows, live events, sports broadcasts and newsrooms — and scripted film and series, where the same page is the lighting diagram too.

How much does CamPlot Creator cost?

Building and sharing plots takes CamPlot Max: $49.99 a year or $4.99 a month, with a free trial. Anyone you share a plot with opens it free with CamPlot Crew. CamPlot Max also includes the CamPlot Director’s Viewfinder and the CamPlot Calculators, and Enterprise seats are sold per seat for teams.

Does it work on Windows or Android?

Yes, in the browser: CamPlot Creator runs in Chrome or Edge on Windows, on Chromebooks and on Android, and installs as an app from the browser. Native apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac are on the App Store.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Everything is on the device, so you can plot on a stage with no signal; it syncs when you are back online and merges what changed while you were away.

How is CamPlot different from Shot Designer or Cadrage?

Shot Designer is built around scripted blocking with animated actors, and Cadrage Studio is an Apple-only scripted pre-production suite. CamPlot is built for multicam: coverage from each real camera, ground plans from a PDF, a LiDAR scan or the satellite map, lights and mics with their own reports, and a live crew link. Side by side: CamPlot vs Shot Designer, CamPlot vs Cadrage, and the best camera plot apps of 2026.
