Krock.io vs Shot Designer

Krock.io is video review software and a creative collaboration platform for teams working with media. Reviewers can leave text comments, drawings, attachments, and time-coded feedback on video, images, audio, PDFs, and multi-page PDFs. It can generate storyboards from text and includes project templates, workspaces, workload Gantt charts, and a calendar view. Listed integrations include Adobe Creative Cloud, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Slack, calendar sync, and webhooks. It is available on the web, macOS, Windows, and as an extension. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one user, 2 GB storage, one workspace, two projects, 50 AI Tokens, and unlimited reviewers. Pro costs $10 a month per user, while Unlimited costs $400 a month with 100 users included. All plans include standard customer support; the team says it aims to respond within 1–2 business days. Krock.io says media files are stored on Amazon S3 and core application servers run on DigitalOcean IaaS. It also says individual accounts can use two-factor authentication and that user content is not used to teach AI models.

Shot Designer is a camera-blocking tool that brings diagrams, shot lists, storyboards, animation, a Director’s Viewfinder, and team sharing together. It can move cameras automatically when characters are repositioned in a diagram. The shot list and diagram stay linked, so edits to one update the other. Users can animate characters and cameras in real time to preview scene rhythm, while the Viewfinder supports major camera formats and records the lens used for a shot. Other tools include set and lighting designers, imports for production drawings, templates, and a prop and furniture library. The Free plan saves the current scene but allows only one scene at a time and omits file management, export, and sync or team sharing. Pro costs 19.99 USD once and adds those management and sharing features, Scene Freeze, and PDF, JPG, and Excel export. Shot Designer runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. The maker positions it for directors and directors of photography.
