Shot questions: directing with the docs
Each question starts from a scene problem, a cut in the middle of a clip, a shot that must end on a set frame, a move that must stay small, and lists the models whose docs answer it. As of 2026-09-25.
Answers are lists of models in alphabetical order, each linked to its doc.
Each question links to the field or word it draws on.

2Camera language in a pipeline
Where “Shot questions” has to be written by hand, SceneMixer's pipeline writes the shots; its guides explain:
Paste a scene or a short script and SceneMixer gives you a storyboard — numbered shots with framing and seconds — and then a moving version of each segment, which you can join into a rough cut of the scene.

A segment is one generation, and its length is the sum of its shots’ seconds.
