Shotvault
A personal library for AI filmmakers that turns every previs bundle into a searchable, taggable collection of camera moves, pose patterns, and reference clips you can pull into the next shoot.
indie AI filmmakers and video creators building a personal style across 5-50 short films a year
- One-click import that ingests previs bundles (pose, depth, camera) and indexes every shot by lens length, move type, and actor motion
- Visual similarity search so a creator can find 'shots that feel like this one' from their own past work
- Reusable shot cards with locked camera + pose metadata that drop straight into ComfyUI, Runway, or Kling prompts
- Lightbox for clients — a public-by-link read-only view for a single shot pack
The previs open-source project is shipping in a vacuum; thousands of AI filmmakers are producing bundles they have no clean way to reuse, and the fastest ones are already building private Notion tables to compensate.
Repo confirmed real (120 stars, 19 forks, Apache-2.0 v4 on GitHub trending via TrendShift #76202 and indexed on Pinokio), but the actual installed base is small — the 'thousands of users' framing overstates a ~120-star repo.GitHub - wassermanproductions/motion-previs-studio ↗wassermanproductions/motion-previs-studio — GitHub trending stats ↗
Kive.ai already offers an AI-tagged visual reference library for creators, and Frame.io / Joyspace cover video clip libraries — Shotvault's specific 'previs bundle + pose + camera-move' reuse angle is differentiated but the broader 'tag your visual library' job is taken.The Best AI Tools for Filmmakers (2026) - FILM CRUX (Kive.ai entry) ↗How to Organize Video Files: Build a Clip Library (Joyspace) ↗
Indie creators are notoriously price-sensitive and the source tool is free Apache-2.0; Kive.ai-style AI tagging subscriptions are the established ceiling and target users make 5–50 short films/yr on tight budgets, suggesting low ARPU.The Best AI Tools for Filmmakers (2026) - FILM CRUX ↗
AI filmmaking is a real and growing niche with durable creator needs, but the upstream format churn (Seedance, Kling, ComfyUI, Runway evolving monthly) means any personal library must keep re-parsing fast-moving bundle schemas.GitHub - wassermanproductions/motion-previs-studio (export targets list) ↗
Straightforward Electron/desktop app over existing local bundle folders with ffmpeg indexing and tag/filter UI — well-trodden territory and v4 already exposes an MCP bridge that a companion tool could integrate with.GitHub - wassermanproductions/motion-previs-studio (v4 MCP + bundle export) ↗
