The AI Storyboard Generator
See your story before it exists.
Transform scripts into production-ready storyboards with character continuity, cinematic camera intelligence, and one-click animatic export.
Core Features
Everything in five steps
Script to Storyboard
Paste your screenplay or shot descriptions. Our AI parses scenes into discrete shots with inferred framing, maintaining strict visual continuity across every frame.
- Accepts Fountain, FDX, and plain text
- Automatic scene-to-shot breakdown
- Beat analysis with emotional tagging
- Batch regeneration of selected frames
- Reference images for style lock
Canvas Editor
A Google Slides-level editing canvas for storyboards. Drag-and-drop frames, smart alignment guides, snapping, templates, version history, and presentation mode.
- Drag & drop frame arrangement
- Smart guides and auto-snapping
- Layer control with grouping
- Storyboard & pitch deck templates
- Full-screen presenter mode
Draw Suite
A GPU-accelerated drawing and painting engine built on Skia/CanvasKit-WASM. Full stylus pressure and tilt support, Web Worker off-thread rendering, 15+ blend modes, and a MyPaint-compatible brush engine — all running at 60fps in your browser.
- GPU-accelerated Skia rendering with WebGL2 compositor
- Full stylus pressure & tilt with 5 smoothing modes
- MyPaint brush engine with .myb preset support
- 15+ blend modes: Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Color Dodge & more
- Non-destructive layers with adjustment controls
- Wet blending, bristle simulation & smudge tools
Camera & Action Arrows
Standardized camera movement arrows — pan, tilt, dolly, truck, crane, zoom, handheld — each carrying structured motion metadata for animatic generation.
- 8 standardized camera move types
- Structured JSON motion metadata
- Start/end frame with easing curves
- Duration and 3D path control
- Subject action arrows
Animatic Export
One-click: approved frames + camera arrow metadata → video AI rendering. Your storyboard becomes an animated animatic with timing, easing, and motion.
- Approve frames + lock art style
- Automatic motion path extraction
- Video AI API rendering pipeline
- Timeline sequencing and re-render
- MP4/MOV export with timing
Capabilities
Built for cinematic pre-production
Character Continuity
Identity embeddings keep every character's face, wardrobe, and pose consistent across all shots — automatically.
Cinematic Camera Intelligence
Focal length, shot types (CU, MS, WS, OTS), camera movement, lens presets, and lighting logic built in.
Real-Time Collaboration
Threaded comments, @mentions, per-frame approvals, version history, share links, and presence indicators.
GPU-Accelerated Rendering
4-phase rendering pipeline: WebGL2 compositor, Web Worker threading, dirty-region rendering, and OffscreenCanvas — zero main-thread cost at 60fps.
Art Style Lock
Lock your visual style — AI never deviates. Screen direction, scene geography, and the 180° rule are maintained.
Professional Stylus Support
Full pressure sensitivity and tilt detection with 5 smoothing modes: EMA, weighted average, stabilizer, pixel-perfect, and raw input.
Advanced Brush Engine
Hermite cubic curve dab generation, pressure gamma control, configurable hardness with cached gradient shaders, and MyPaint .myb preset compatibility.
Production-Ready Exports
PDF sheets (300 DPI), hi-res PNGs, CSV shot lists with metadata, and MP4/MOV animatics with timing.
