Chemical Wedding releases latest version of Artemis Studio native macOS shot-planner

Chemical Wedding's Artemis Studio is now a fully native macOS app, syncing images, videos and metadata with the Artemis Directors Viewfinder on iOS over iCloud.

Chemical Wedding has released the latest version of its Artemis Studio macOS application that extends its exceedingly popular and Emmy Award-winning Artemis Director's Viewfinder iOS app for filmmakers into the desktop space.

Now on v1.5.1, Artemis Studio provides a desktop platform for organizing, planning and sharing visual ideas from prep through production. It connects with Artemis Director's Viewfinder through iCloud synchronization, enabling users to organize images, videos, metadata and project information between iPhone and Mac without manual file transfers.

Fully macOS native

Originally called both Athena and Artemis Gallery, Chemical Wedding says the app has been rebuilt from the ground up and is now fully macOS native. Its goal is to help teams manage the ever-increasing volume of visual information created during scouts, prep and on-set planning as pre-visualisation becomes increasingly extensive and a critical part of overall workflows. Images and video can be arranged into scenes or custom folders, and metadata, notes and reference materials can be attached to individual shots and sequences.

Teams can build storyboards, shot lists and technical shot plans that include location maps, sun-position data and lens information captured through Artemis and Helios, another Chemical Wedding app that plots sun position, starlight and more. Shots can be exported with or without metadata and shared with directors, assistant directors, production designers and other collaborators.

There’s more to come from Chemical Wedding soon, adding gaussian splats to the Artemis XR virtual directors viewfinder for Apple Vision Pro and providing what looks to be some extremely useful pre-viz tools in virtual spaces. It’s soon to work on iOS alongside visionOS, and a demo was possibly the first thing we’ve seen that genuinely made us wish we had an Apple Vision Pro to hand.

Pricing and availability

Artemis Studio is available for download from the Mac App Store. Pricing is $4.99 a month or a one-off of $39.99.
