New — animate your storyboard into a video

AI storyboards clients approve. Before the pitch ends.

Turn a brief or a full script into a client-ready storyboard — with your characters consistent across every shot — then animate it into a video. In an afternoon, not a week.

How it works

Blank page to ready-to-shoot board, in three steps

What used to take an artist days. No drawing, no revision rounds, no waiting on a freelancer.

01

Write your idea

Describe the scene in plain words, or drop in a script as PDF, FDX, Fountain or DOCX. StoryboardAI breaks it into individual shots automatically.

02

Generate your panels

The board comes to life panel by panel. Rewrite any single shot and regenerate just that frame — 4 to 20 panels, any of 12 styles.

03

Export and share

Print-ready PDF, full-resolution ZIP, a video animatic, or a timeline that drops straight into your edit. Watermark-free.

The differentiator

One character. Any style. Every shot.

Train a model on your actor once from 10–20 photos. The same face holds across every angle, every scene, every art style — the hard part of AI storyboarding, and exactly what we built for.

Before / after

The same board, four days apart

A hired artist gives you one pass and a revision queue. This gives you the pass, the revisions, and the animatic before the client meeting ends.

  • Three to five days for a first pass
  • One shot changes, the whole page is redrawn
  • One style, whatever the artist draws in
  • Ends as a PDF, and stops there

Where it goes next

It lands in the edit, not in a folder

Most storyboard tools stop at a PDF. StoryboardAI exports an editor timeline that opens in Premiere, Final Cut and DaVinci Resolve — so the board becomes the first cut. Everything is watermark-free.

The producer’s toolkit

Everything between the first idea and the final frame.

01

Three render tiers, your call

A Quick Draft costs 1 credit for fast blocking. A Final Render with your trained cast costs 8. An Ultra Cinematic still costs 10. Regenerate a single shot without touching the rest of the board.

02

Train your cast once

10–20 reference photos of an actor, prop or location, and that exact look renders in every panel afterwards. A trained model, not a one-off reference image.

03

Projects autosave, privately

Every panel and script saves as you work. Your material is private to your account, stored with row-level security, and never used to train models.

Built for the people who have to sell the shot

Agencies, production shops and directors who need a client to see the film before it exists.

Agencies & production shops

Pitch concepts with frames that look production-ready on the first draft, and revise a single panel while the client is still on the call.

Indie film & animation

Visualise every scene and share the board with your cast before day one, then build the animatic frame by frame with the same face throughout.

Corporate & branded video

Turn a script into a visual pitch that stakeholders understand immediately — no interpretation, no second meeting.

Pay once

No subscription. Credits that never expire.

Buy a credit pack when you need one. No monthly bill, no auto-renewal, no balance reset. Production schedules aren’t monthly — your tools shouldn’t be either.

The things people ask before signing up.

What is an AI storyboard generator?+

An AI storyboard generator turns written material — a logline, a treatment, or a full script — into a sequence of storyboard panels without anyone drawing them by hand. You describe the story, and it renders each shot as an image you can review, reorder, and revise. StoryboardAI goes one step further than most: it keeps the same character looking like the same person in every panel, and can animate finished panels into a video animatic.

Can AI turn my script into a storyboard?+

Yes. Paste a script or upload it as PDF, FDX, Fountain, or DOCX, and StoryboardAI breaks it into shots — each with a visual description, camera framing, and duration — then renders a panel for every shot. You choose how many panels (4 to 20), pick an art style, and edit any individual shot and regenerate just that panel. A first pass takes minutes rather than the days a hand-drawn board needs.

What makes StoryboardAI different from other storyboard tools?+

We train a model on your actual cast — not a one-off reference image — so the same face holds across every shot, and you can rewrite any one shot and regenerate just that panel. Then it exports to where real productions live: an FCPXML/EDL package that drops straight into DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut and Premiere. Pair that with pay-once credits and it is built for real productions, not demos.

What are credits and how are they spent?+

Credits power image generation, and the cost depends on the engine you pick in the Studio — a Quick Draft is 1 credit, a Final Render with your trained cast is 8, and an Ultra Cinematic still is 10. Regenerating a shot costs the same as generating it. Script generation uses separate AI Script credits (1–2 per script). You get 50 free on signup and credits never expire.

Can I use my own characters?+

Yes. Cast & Crew trains a custom model on your actor or character from 10–20 reference photos. Once trained, that exact face appears consistently across every panel — no continuity breaks.

What can I export?+

A print-ready PDF sheet, a ZIP of all panels at full resolution, a video animatic (.webm) with custom hold timing per panel, or an editor timeline (FCPXML + EDL) that drops straight into Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve. Everything exports watermark-free.

Is my content private?+

Yes. Your projects, scripts, and generated images are private to your account and never used to train AI models. All data is stored with row-level security, so no one else can access your work.
