Features · 20 Apps · 1 Project File

The complete script-to-screen toolkit.

Twenty integrated apps sharing one project file. From first draft to final animatic, every tool a producer or director needs - all synchronized, all powered by Dolly.

Write

A screenplay editor that writes the breakdown for you.

Industry-standard formatting, a live scene navigator and DollyAI™ beside every line - the script you write becomes the data every other app runs on.

Open the script writer
Screenwriting app - professional screenplay editor with a live scene navigator and an AI writing assistant.
Board

Storyboards your director will sign - built from the shot list.

Every shot becomes a panel with shot-type and camera-movement annotations, version history and one-click PDF - no re-typing what the script already knows.

See the storyboard editor

Animatic

Sequence your frames into a moving cut you can feel.

Drop your boards onto a timeline with camera moves, transitions, audio and timing - then export to your editing suite or hand it straight to the team.

Animate storyboard view - the current frame in the viewer with camera-move presets and timing controls.

Film production software features — common questions

StoryboardCanvas is a complete script-to-screen film production suite: twenty integrated apps — script, breakdown, stripboard, call sheets, shot list, storyboards, Draw, AI Artist and animatic — that all share one project file. Everything a producer or director needs from first draft to final animatic, in one place.

Twenty apps are included, and they all read and write the same project file. A scene, character or location you enter once flows through the breakdown, schedule, call sheets, shot list and storyboard automatically, so there is no re-typing or exporting between tools.

Yes. The suite covers screenwriting, breakdown, stripboard scheduling, budgeting and call sheets that those tools handle separately — but inside a single synchronised project. That removes the copy-paste and version drift you get when your stack is several subscriptions that do not talk to each other.

Yes. The script becomes the data every other app runs on: the breakdown and shot list read it, and the AI Artist renders style-locked storyboard frames from your shots. Each shot becomes an annotated panel with shot-type and camera-movement notes, version history and one-click PDF export.

Draw is a browser-based drawing engine for boarding by hand, and the animatic app sequences your frames onto a timeline with camera moves, transitions, audio and timing. You can then export the cut to your editing suite or hand it straight to the team.

DollyAI is the AI assistant built into every app in the suite. It powers the script writing, breakdown, shot suggestions and style-locked image generation, and because it works from the same shared project file it always has the full context of your production.

Yes. StoryboardCanvas has a free plan, with paid tiers that scale up as your production grows — from solo creators through to studios and enterprise. You only pay more as you turn on more of the suite.
