StoryBoard vs Previs Pro
An Apple-platform previs suite for storyboards, animatics, screenplay imports, virtual cameras, and 3D scene control.
The short answer
Choose Previs Pro 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
Previs Pro
EON StoryBoard
Starting point
Import a screenplay or manually build a 3D scene on Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
Upload or paste a screenplay, review the extracted scene map, then choose what to board.
Visual output
3D storyboards and animatics with posed characters, props, lights, and camera settings.
AI-generated storyboard frames created from approved shots and attached cast references.
Review model
Build, animate, play back, share, and export detailed previs.
Scene, shot, cast, generation, retry, coverage review, and PDF export in one guided flow.
Collaboration
Password-protected web links and broad export options are publicly described.
Private-beta project workflow. Share links, frame comments, and real-time collaboration are not shipped yet.
Best fit
Apple-based filmmakers who want hands-on 3D blocking, camera control, and animatics.
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 an AI first pass from approved screenplay shots.
- You want cast-reference-driven imagery instead of 3D avatars.
- You value speed and review gates more than exact virtual-camera setup.
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.
