StoryboardCanvas vs. ShotDeck
ShotDeck is a reference shelf. StoryboardCanvas turns reference into a working storyboard, shot list and shoot day - AI Artist, Draw and the frame editor in one project file.
ShotDeck is a beautiful, searchable library of cinematic frames for building lookbooks and finding references. It stops at inspiration - it doesn't board your script, list your shots or schedule your shoot. StoryboardCanvas is where reference becomes work: draw or AI-generate the boards, list every shot, and carry it to the call sheet and the shoot day.
