From shot list to final cut.

Follow two internal projects from shot planning through review and export. Read the workflow steps, inspect the shot lists, and see what changed between the two versions of the vertical ad.

01 / Animated scene

Aria & The Sky Compass

A short animated adventure follows Aria and her clockwork fox across four locations. The edit tests whether a viewer can follow the quest as the lighting, setting and framing change.

4 shots16:9 landscape22 seconds

Workflow steps

  1. 1. Plan the story beats

    The shot list assigns 6 seconds to the skyship, 5 to the map room, 5 to the lantern bridge and 6 to the observatory.

  2. 2. Assemble the prepared clips

    The local test matched one clip to each shot and used Scena Studio Core to export them in story order.

  3. 3. Review the sequence

    In the final cut, check that the compass appears before the obstacles and the observatory resolves the quest.

Review the export

Watch how the sequence establishes the compass, builds momentum and resolves the journey.

Final cutFour locally prepared shots exported in story order at 1280 × 720.

Scena Studio Core assembled four previously prepared animation clips. The clips retain their original on-screen captions, and their generation model is unverified. The optional subtitle tracks contain shot notes.

02 / Vertical product ad

The First Cup

A vertical coffee ad uses three segments from an existing stock-footage edit. The review focuses on when the viewer first sees the product and how each detail leads into the finished drink.

3 segments9:16 portrait8.77 seconds per cut

Workflow steps

  1. 1. Mark the three source segments

    The cut plan identifies the espresso, milk pour and finished cup in the same source video.

  2. 2. Export the draft

    Scena Studio Core assembled the prepared excerpts in source order for the first 9:16 cut.

  3. 3. Revise the opening and compare

    The revised order moves the finished cup to the first shot. Watch both exports and compare when the viewer first sees the drink.

Compare the cuts

Both 720 × 1280 cuts use the same three segments. The revised opening shows the finished cup immediately, then moves back to preparation. The cuts are silent so you can compare the visuals.

Source edit excerpts run from 0.00 to 2.56 s for espresso, 2.56 to 6.96 s for the milk pour, and 6.96 to 8.76 s for the finished cup. The CSV preserves the whole-second planning durations and lists the exact source ranges and order for both cuts.
