One page, every shot
Turn a video into a contact sheet
One page that shows a whole video, shot by shot, in order. People come to this looking for a contact sheet, a storyboard of an edit that already exists, a shot breakdown of a reference film, or just a grid of frames. It is the same export, and FrameCatcher builds it from the real cuts in your footage rather than a frame every few seconds.
How it works
- 1
Choose your video
It is read in this tab. FrameCatcher finds each shot and takes a representative frame from it.
- 2
Pick your frames
Keep the shots you want on the sheet and drop the ones you do not.
- 3
Export the sheet
Download a single, high-resolution contact sheet image ready to print or share.
- A frame from every real shot, in order, on one page
- Shot boundaries found from the content, not a frame every N seconds
- Choose exactly which shots appear on the sheet
- High-resolution output, ready to print or drop into a deck
- Runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is watermarked
- Free, with no account and no limit on how many you make
What people use it for
A storyboard from a video you already shot
A storyboard is normally drawn before anyone films anything. Working the other way round, from an edit that already exists, gets you the same thing for a cut you need to show, hand over, or rebuild. Every shot in sequence, one frame each, on a page you can print and mark up.
A shot breakdown of a reference film
Pull apart how someone else cut a scene. Because the frames land on real cuts, the sheet shows you the actual shot count, the rhythm, and how long the director held each one, which is the part a scrubbed timeline hides.
A shot list you can hand to someone
A written shot list tells a crew what to get. A visual one tells them what it should look like. Export the grid, drop it beside the list, and nobody has to guess what shot 14 means.
Review, selects, and a grid of frames
One page beats scrubbing for a client call, a continuity check, or picking stills for a portfolio. Keep the shots worth showing, drop the rest, and export what is left.
Frequently asked
- Can I choose how many frames are on the sheet?
- Yes. You select which shots to include before exporting, so the sheet holds only the frames you want.
- Is the contact sheet printable?
- Yes. The sheet is exported as a single high-resolution image that prints cleanly.
- Can I make a storyboard from a video I already have?
- Yes, and it is the same export. A storyboard is usually drawn before a shoot; going the other way, from footage that already exists, gives you every shot in order with one frame each. That is what the contact sheet is.
- How is this different from taking a screenshot every few seconds?
- A screenshot on a timer lands wherever the timer lands, so a long static shot gets ten frames and a fast cut gets none. FrameCatcher finds where the picture actually changes, so every shot is represented once, however long or short it is.
- Does my video get uploaded?
- No. The video is read by the page you have open and the sheet is built there. Nothing is sent to us, which is also why there is no queue and no file size limit.
