StoryBoard vs ShotPro

A scene-planning and 3D previs tool with shot lists, cameras, characters, props, lighting, AR, and motion controls.

The short answer

Choose ShotPro 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

ShotPro

EON StoryBoard

Starting point

Add scripts, scenes, and shot lists, then manually stage a 2D or 3D scene.

Upload or paste a screenplay, review the extracted scene map, then choose what to board.

Visual output

3D scene visualizations with camera, character, prop, lighting, and motion controls.

AI-generated storyboard frames created from approved shots and attached cast references.

Review model

Directly stage and refine the planned scene using production-oriented controls.

Scene, shot, cast, generation, retry, coverage review, and PDF export in one guided flow.

Collaboration

Focused on hands-on previs and scene visualization rather than AI generation review.

Private-beta project workflow. Share links, frame comments, and real-time collaboration are not shipped yet.

Best fit

Filmmakers who want portable manual 3D scene planning and camera controls.

Directors and pre-production teams who want the screenplay and approved shot plan to remain attached to generation.

Choose ShotPro when

ShotPro's strengths are the job.

You want direct control over aperture, lens, focus, lighting, and character placement.
AR, motion capture, or 3D object imports are useful to your workflow.
You prefer manually staging shots to generated first-pass boards.

Choose StoryBoard when

The screenplay should stay attached to every review step.

You need to move from screenplay to reviewable frames quickly.
You want the AI to propose boards from approved shot descriptions.
You prefer cast-reference imagery over manual 3D character staging.

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.
