Most people run out of content because they run out of footage, not ideas. The shoot list is the answer to "what should I film this week": it compares the templates you'd actually post against the clips you already have, and lists what's missing.
It's the What to film tab in My Media.
The coverage ring
Shots covered is a count of template slots your existing clips can fill, out of the slots the templates you'd post need. A new account with no uploads shows zero covered and a full list — that's the starter kit, not an error.
The templates it counts are the ones you're most likely to use, weighted: templates you've already opened count most, ones you've favorited next, and popular templates fill in the rest so the list works before you've done anything.
Reading a shot idea
Each card is a kind of shot, not a single frame:
- The title says what to film — "Close-up clips of squat exercises", "Talking-to-camera
clips", "Headshot photos".
- The line under it adds the detail that matters for matching.
- Film ~3 is how many to get. Three angles or three variations of the same idea covers
more templates than one perfect take.
- The thumbnails are frames from the templates that need this shot, so you can see
what it's for before you film it.
Ideas are ordered by how many templates each one unlocks. The top card is the best use of your next ten minutes.
Why it's worth following
Everything you upload is tagged automatically — what's in it, the type of shot, the equipment, the setting. Those tags are what Autofill matches against template slots. So filming from this list doesn't just give you footage; it makes Fill all actually fill everything, which is the difference between a reel taking two minutes and twenty.
After you film
Upload to My Media — drag files in, or use From phone to scan a QR code and upload from your camera roll. Tagging runs on its own within a minute or two, and the coverage ring moves the next time you open the tab.
Film in one session, in landscape and vertical if you can, and get more than you need. Ten minutes of varied footage covers weeks of templates; a single clip covers one slot.
