Ordered scene cards
Every field stays editable
Named characters kept with the story
Assets and locations organized by hand
How it works
A first pass you can keep shaping.
Move from a draft to a practical visual breakdown without losing the words that started it.
Write or paste
Start from a rough idea or script in its own workspace.
Generate scenes
Create an ordered breakdown with the matching source excerpt, visual direction, location, characters, and mood.
Refine the plan
Edit every field. Add, delete, or reorder scenes, then keep references beside the story.
Scene by scene
Every scene stays editable.
Generation gives you a structured starting point, not a locked result. Keep the source wording beside the visual plan, then adjust each beat as the story changes.
- Keep source and visual direction side by side
- Add a missing beat without regenerating
- Reorder scenes as the sequence evolves
- Changes save as you type

Story references
Keep the story’s visual references together.
Named characters discovered during scene generation are added to your Characters set. Add your own assets and locations, attach one optional image to each reference, and keep notes alongside them.
Mara
Determined, observant. Arrives alone at the beach before the storm.
Lantern
A weathered brass lamp that becomes the visual cue inside the tower.
Lighthouse
Abandoned tower at the edge of a quiet beach, exposed to the gathering storm.
Characters can come from the script. Assets and locations are added manually.
Built around the story
One workflow for stories you need to see clearly.
Short films
Map the draft into visual beats before planning individual shots.
Ad concepts
Turn a treatment or script into a scene-by-scene review.
Music videos
Organize visual moments, locations, and recurring references.
Narrative content
Give a rough story an editable sequence you can keep refining.
Before generation
Shape the sequence before you make the shots.
Organize the whole script first, decide what each beat needs, then carry that plan into the image, video, or production workflow you already use.

Questions, answered
What Storyboard does—and what it doesn’t.
Does Storyboard generate video?
No. Storyboard currently turns a script into an editable scene breakdown; it does not render images, animatics, or video.
What does it generate?
Ordered scene cards with a title, matching script excerpt, visual description, location, characters, and mood/theme. It also adds newly found named characters to the Characters set.
Can I edit the breakdown?
Yes. Edit every scene field, add blank scenes, reorder or delete scenes, and keep working from the generated first pass.
What happens when I regenerate?
Regenerating replaces the current scene list after confirmation. Existing characters, assets, and locations remain, and newly discovered named characters are added.
Are assets and locations found automatically?
No. Add assets and locations manually, then give each reference notes and one optional image.
How is my script processed?
Creating and editing data does not call OpenAI. Choosing Generate scenes sends the saved script to OpenAI. Your workspace data is saved so you can return to it later.
Ready when the draft is
Give your script a scene-by-scene shape.
Create a workspace, paste the draft, and refine the plan before the next tool in your process.
