Cadrage Studio Unifies Pre-Production Filmmaking Tools in One App

digital · 2026-07-29

Cadrage has launched Cadrage Studio, a new preproduction tool that brings together shot lists, storyboards, camera layouts, mood boards, script management, and location planning in one shared space. Created by the team behind the Cadrage director's viewfinder app, this platform connects assets directly to scenes, reducing reliance on multiple apps and folders. It features a camera diagram tool for overhead layouts that can be adjusted for cameras, actors, lights, and set pieces. Users can also import 3D room scans using LiDAR on compatible iPhones and iPads. The app offers customizable metadata for shot lists, auto-linking storyboards, and script imports that track scenes and characters. Projects sync through iCloud across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, supporting collaboration and exporting scene-specific PDFs. Cadrage Studio works offline, with data securely stored in iCloud. It’s available for a subscription of $20 per month or $100 per year, including a 7-day free trial. The original viewfinder app has gained the trust of over 100,000 filmmakers worldwide.
