Working with Shot Lists

Learn how to efficiently apply templates to multiple products simultaneously, streamlining your production workflow for large product catalogs.

What Is a Shot List?

Shot lists automate the application of templates across product collections - creating projects set to standard settings and ready to edit, adjust, and render. This powerful feature allows you to:

  • Apply consistent visualization settings to multiple products at once

  • Organize visualization projects by collection, category, or campaign

  • Streamline production for large product catalogs

  • Maintain visual consistency across related products

Shot lists build on the template system, using your saved templates as the foundation for batch project creation. For teams visualizing entire product lines, shot lists transform weeks of work into hours, while ensuring every product receives the same high-quality treatment.

How Shot Lists Work:

When you create a shot list:

  • Each model in the list becomes a separate project

  • All projects inherit the same template settings (lighting, environment, camera)

  • Projects are linked to the shot list for organization

  • Projects can be edited individually to fine-tune as needed

  • You can render all projects in the shot list for consistent output

This approach combines the efficiency of batch processing with the flexibility of individual project control. This organization becomes increasingly valuable as your product catalog grows, ensuring you can always locate and manage related visualizations as a collection rather than hunting for individual files.

Creating a Shot List

  1. Navigate to the Shot Lists section

  2. Click "Create New Shot List"

    1. Name your shot list (e.g., "Fall Catalog - Dining")

    2. Select the template to apply

    3. Add products to the shot list

  3. Review and confirm your selection

  4. The shot list will generate individual projects for each product


Workflow & Best Pracitices

Shot lists can be integrated into your visualization workflow with a structured approach transforms ad-hoc visualization into a systematic production process that maintains quality while dramatically improving efficiency.

  1. Template Creation: Establish and refine template standards

  2. Shot List Building: Apply templates to product collections

  3. Individual Refinement: Fine-tune projects that need special attention, with a clear review and approval process for shot lists

  4. Use clear naming conventions: Include collection names, seasons, or categories in your shot list names (e.g., "2025_Spring_Dining_JM")

This structured approach enables enterprise teams to visualize large product catalogs efficiently while maintaining consistent quality.
