StoryBoard vs Katalist
A one-click script-to-storyboard product with character consistency and visual shot controls.
The short answer
Choose Katalist when its specialist strengths match the work you need today. Choose StoryBoard when you want an existing screenplay to move through scene review, approved shots, cast references, live board generation, and coverage review.
Side by side
The workflow difference
Katalist
EON StoryBoard
Starting point
Import or write a script, including CSV, Word, or PowerPoint inputs.
Upload or paste a screenplay, review the extracted scene map, then choose what to board.
Visual output

AI-generated storyboard frames created from approved shots and attached cast references.
Review model
Adjust framing, angle, character pose, composition, props, and scenes after generation.
Scene, shot, cast, generation, retry, coverage review, and PDF export in one guided flow.
Collaboration
The public positioning focuses more on rapid visual creation than structured approval workflows.
Private-beta project workflow. Share links, frame comments, and real-time collaboration are not shipped yet.
Best fit
Creators who want quick one-click visualization and direct visual controls.
Directors and pre-production teams who want the screenplay and approved shot plan to remain attached to generation.
The screenplay should stay attached to every review step.
- You want to inspect the extracted scene map and approved shot plan first.
- You want generation to arrive live with stop, retry, and partial-run status.
- You want board coverage and cast readiness surfaced as project state.
Important context
StoryBoard is still a private beta.
StoryBoard currently ships whole-script scene mapping, scene selection, shot breakdowns, cast-reference setup, live board generation, retries, coverage-focused continuity review, and PDF export.
It does not yet replace precise 3D previs, a professional storyboard artist, mature client sign-off software, or a complete AI video-production suite. Visual consistency remains model-dependent and every important frame still needs human review.
