CineScout helps filmmakers, photographers, and production crews find and organize the perfect filming locations. Think of it as your personal scouting assistant. It keeps track of every spot you discover, with photos, GPS pins, and notes, all synced across your devices. Up and running in 4 steps 1 Grab CineScout from the App Store, it's free to download on iPhone and iPad. 2 Start exploring right away. No sign-up required to browse locations and try things out. 3 When you're ready, create a free account so you can save locations, attach photos, and sync everything to the cloud across web and iOS. 4 Want more? Starter unlocks light planning and more room. Pro adds bigger libraries, data export, and a much larger Scout allowance. Enterprise lifts every cap and opens the door to team collaboration. Don't have an iPhone handy? You can also explore locations and try AI Scout on the web at cinescout.pro, no download needed. AI Scout Let AI find filming locations that match your creative vision. AI Scout is your scouting partner. Drop a pin, tell it the kind of place you're after, and it sweeps the surrounding area, walks every promising corner in its head, and brings back the spots that feel most cinematic, each with notes on why it picked them. How it works 1 Open AI Scout and pick a spot on the map, anywhere in the world. 2 Choose a few filters that describe the mood you're chasing: urban, nature, industrial, historic, exterior, interior, and more. 3 Set how far Scout should wander from your pin. 4 Scout heads out, looks around, and ranks what it finds. 5 Each result comes with a score, suggested shots, the best time to be there, and the things that might trip you up on shoot day. How results are ranked Every spot gets an overall score from 0 to 100. Scout weighs how the place looks, how the light tends to behave, how practical it is to actually shoot there, how well it matches your filters, and how distinctive it feels. Higher score, stronger match. Saving results Found a great spot? Save it directly to your location library from the results. It will be added with all the AI analysis data so you can reference it later. Search limits & resets Each plan gets a monthly Scout allowance: Free 3, Starter 5, Pro 40, Enterprise 100. Free resets on the 1st of every month (UTC). Paid plans reset on your billing date. Upgrade and your full new allowance is available right away. Need a few extra searches mid-month? You can grab a one-off coin pack instead of waiting for the reset. Explore Discover locations shared by filmmakers around the world.

How it works 1 Open AI Scout and pick a spot on the map, anywhere in the world. 2 Choose a few filters that describe the mood you're chasing: urban, nature, industrial, historic, exterior, interior, and more. 3 Set how far Scout should wander from your pin. 4 Scout heads out, looks around, and ranks what it finds. 5 Each result comes with a score, suggested shots, the best time to be there, and the things that might trip you up on shoot day. How results are ranked Every spot gets an overall score from 0 to 100. Scout weighs how the place looks, how the light tends to behave, how practical it is to actually shoot there, how well it matches your filters, and how distinctive it feels. Higher score, stronger match. Saving results Found a great spot? Save it directly to your location library from the results.

Up and running in 4 steps 1 Grab CineScout from the App Store, it's free to download on iPhone and iPad. 2 Start exploring right away.

Don't have an iPhone handy? You can also explore locations and try AI Scout on the web at cinescout.pro, no download needed. AI Scout Let AI find filming locations that match your creative vision. AI Scout is your scouting partner. Drop a pin, tell it the kind of place you're after, and it sweeps the surrounding area, walks every promising corner in its head, and brings back the spots that feel most cinematic, each with notes on why it picked them. How it works 1 Open AI Scout and pick a spot on the map, anywhere in the world. 2 Choose a few filters that describe the mood you're chasing: urban, nature, industrial, historic, exterior, interior, and more. 3 Set how far Scout should wander from your pin. 4 Scout heads out, looks around, and ranks what it finds. 5 Each result comes with a score, suggested shots, the best time to be there, and the things that might trip you up on shoot day. How results are ranked Every spot gets an overall score from 0 to 100. Scout weighs how the place looks, how the light tends to behave, how practical it is to actually shoot there, how well it matches your filters, and how distinctive it feels. Higher score, stronger match. Saving results Found a great spot? Save it directly to your location library from the results. It will be added with all the AI analysis data so you can reference it later. Search limits & resets Each plan gets a monthly Scout allowance: Free 3, Starter 5, Pro 40, Enterprise 100. Free resets on the 1st of every month (UTC). Paid plans reset on your billing date. Upgrade and your full new allowance is available right away. Need a few extra searches mid-month?

AI Scout is your scouting partner. Drop a pin, tell it the kind of place you're after, and it sweeps the surrounding area, walks every promising corner in its head, and brings back the spots that feel most cinematic, each with notes on why it picked them. How it works 1 Open AI Scout and pick a spot on the map, anywhere in the world. 2 Choose a few filters that describe the mood you're chasing: urban, nature, industrial, historic, exterior, interior, and more. 3 Set how far Scout should wander from your pin. 4 Scout heads out, looks around, and ranks what it finds. 5 Each result comes with a score, suggested shots, the best time to be there, and the things that might trip you up on shoot day. How results are ranked Every spot gets an overall score from 0 to 100. Scout weighs how the place looks, how the light tends to behave, how practical it is to actually shoot there, how well it matches your filters, and how distinctive it feels. Higher score, stronger match. Saving results Found a great spot? Save it directly to your location library from the results. It will be added with all the AI analysis data so you can reference it later. Search limits & resets Each plan gets a monthly Scout allowance: Free 3, Starter 5, Pro 40, Enterprise 100. Free resets on the 1st of every month (UTC). Paid plans reset on your billing date. Upgrade and your full new allowance is available right away. Need a few extra searches mid-month?

CineScout helps filmmakers, photographers, and production crews find and organize the perfect filming locations. Think of it as your personal scouting assistant. It keeps track of every spot you discover, with photos, GPS pins, and notes, all synced across your devices. Up and running in 4 steps 1 Grab CineScout from the App Store, it's free to download on iPhone and iPad. 2 Start exploring right away.

Don't have an iPhone handy? You can also explore locations and try AI Scout on the web at cinescout.pro, no download needed. AI Scout Let AI find filming locations that match your creative vision. AI Scout is your scouting partner. Drop a pin, tell it the kind of place you're after, and it sweeps the surrounding area, walks every promising corner in its head, and brings back the spots that feel most cinematic, each with notes on why it picked them. How it works 1 Open AI Scout and pick a spot on the map, anywhere in the world. 2 Choose a few filters that describe the mood you're chasing: urban, nature, industrial, historic, exterior, interior, and more. 3 Set how far Scout should wander from your pin. 4 Scout heads out, looks around, and ranks what it finds. 5 Each result comes with a score, suggested shots, the best time to be there, and the things that might trip you up on shoot day. How results are ranked Every spot gets an overall score from 0 to 100. Scout weighs how the place looks, how the light tends to behave, how practical it is to actually shoot there, how well it matches your filters, and how distinctive it feels. Higher score, stronger match. Saving results Found a great spot? Save it directly to your location library from the results. It will be added with all the AI analysis data so you can reference it later. Search limits & resets Each plan gets a monthly Scout allowance: Free 3, Starter 5, Pro 40, Enterprise 100. Free resets on the 1st of every month (UTC). Paid plans reset on your billing date. Upgrade and your full new allowance is available right away. Need a few extra searches mid-month? You can grab a one-off coin pack instead of waiting for the reset. Explore Discover locations shared by filmmakers around the world.
