One workspace, two front doors. Start with an idea and a format, or start with a locked script — StoryBoard turns either into cast-grounded boards you review shot by shot.
Two front doors. Bring an idea or a script. Either becomes cast-grounded boards you review, shot by shot.
As you scroll, the screenplay moves through StoryBoard: scenes are parsed, characters stay attached, and storyboard frames resolve shot by shot.
The screenplay moves through StoryBoard: scenes are parsed, characters stay attached, and storyboard frames resolve shot by shot.
Scenes get a scene map. Every shot gets a breakdown. Cast and continuity stay attached to the workflow — nothing floats.
A director does not need a pretty frame. They need the room to stay the room, the character to stay themselves, and the sequence to make sense.
The continuity brief, every pre-production, everywhere.
Generic image tools don't understand scene structure, shot intent, or what was already established earlier in the script.
Faces, wardrobe and presence shift across shots unless cast references stay attached to the workflow.
Scenes, references, shots and boards scatter across tools. Gaps and mismatches surface late in review.
Simple is for the writer with an idea. Studio is for the director with a script. Same engine underneath.
An idea. A format. A reviewable reel.
Paste an idea, pick 16:9 / 9:16 / Reel, and StoryBoard auto-parses scenes, auto-designs cast references, and streams boards — in one screen.
A script. Seven stages. Every gate a director decision.
Upload a screenplay and walk the full pipeline: scenes → shots → cast → environments → generate → review. Editable per-shot camera and framing.
For creators, writers and marketers who have an idea, not a script. Same cast consistency and review controls as Studio — with the pipeline collapsed into one screen.
Paste one paragraph. Pick 16:9, 9:16 or Reel. Cinematic default; other styles opt-in.
StoryBoard splits the idea into scenes, detects the cast, and auto-designs a reference for every character.
Boards stream in shot by shot. Skip, retry, or scribble on any one. Presentation Deck export in a click.
For directors with a locked script. Seven stages, one director, approval at every gate before boards render.
Paste or drop a screenplay. Get an editable scene map in seconds.
Pick the scenes you want to visualize first. Focus now and defer the rest.
Generate breakdowns with framing, action, characters, and camera intent.
Attach a reference for every character in frame. Faces stay themselves shot to shot.
Attach location references so every shot in a scene sits in the same room, street, or space.
Boards land shot by shot. Stop, retry, or approve them as they arrive.
See coverage gaps, cast issues, missing boards. Export when you're ready.
Script viewer, scene explorer, shot panel, cast shelf, live boards and coverage review share the same project context, so the reason behind each board remains visible.
Every reference, gap, and retry stays visible. Directors judge every frame that matters, and nothing renders past a decision they haven't made.
Cast references and environment references are part of the workflow before boards are generated. Faces stay themselves; the same room stays the same room.
Boards are generated from selected scene context and approved shot breakdowns — not from a single floating prompt.
Watch generation as it happens, stop mid-run, retry failed shots, and inspect every output before it joins the board.
Approve a board or say what's off — character, location, camera, or other. Retry with the diagnostic, scribble the fix, or escalate a report. The team sees every note in Discord.
Each shot, character, and environment is versioned. Compare takes side by side and revert to any earlier version at any time.
One click for a client-ready Presentation Deck. Also exports as annotated PDF, shot list, scene packet, or review deck for team notes.
Twelve boards, four environments — same cast in every frame. Continuity you can point at.
Producers, DPs, actors, and clients don't need an account to watch your reel. One link. Read-only. Signed off in a browser.
One /s/<token> link. Read-only viewer, works logged-out, mobile-friendly. No sign-up on the reviewer's side.
Reviewers who open the link on a phone can send themselves a magic link to continue on desktop — no password required.
Every export carries a small StoryBoard mark. Producers ask where the reel came from; they land on the composer.
One tool, seven kinds of work. Where the first pass turns preparation into leverage.
Explore visual tone, coverage, and shot rhythm before the shoot.
Turn briefs into client-reviewable boards faster, without overcommitting.
Visual proof for producers, investors, and collaborators when it matters.
