AI Storyboard Generator: Turn Scripts into Shots
AI identifies the characters, locations, action and dialogue in each scene, then breaks your script into individual shots. Review each shot’s duration, framing, camera movement, visuals and audio before generating video.

Script to storyboard AI: what to prepare and review
Bring a script with identifiable characters, locations, actions and dialogue. In your drama project, review the episode script and character and scene references, then generate a shot breakdown. A storyboard connects each shot’s framing, camera movement, action, dialogue and duration to the story.
Review the shot plan before generating keyframe images. Split a shot when it contains too many actions or too much dialogue, and check screen direction and character references between shots. Confirm the first and last frames before spending credits on motion.
For a manga storyboard from a plot, first separate the setup, reveal and reaction into distinct panels. Use one main action per panel and reuse the approved character references. In the video workflow, those panel plans become keyframes and shots; they do not replace comic-page layout or speech-bubble typesetting.
Reuse your characters and scenes
Each shot references confirmed characters and scenes within the project, increasing consistency across shots.
Plan first, last and intermediate frames
Use keyframes to guide motion and transitions between shots, helping the video model stay closer to your intended result.

FAQ
How is an AI storyboard different from a text prompt?
A storyboard organizes duration, characters, settings, composition, action and audio for each shot. This makes it easier to plan a sequence and revise individual shots.
Can AI-generated storyboards be modified manually?
Yes. Edit each shot independently, then regenerate only the images or videos affected by your changes.
Why review keyframes before generating video?
Video generation usually costs more than image generation. Reviewing characters, settings and composition first helps reduce unnecessary video retries.
Can I try script to storyboard AI for free?
New accounts receive 1,000 free signup credits that can be used for scripts, storyboard images and other generation. Usage depends on the selected model. This is a credit allowance, with additional generation charged against your balance.
What is the difference between a shot list and an AI storyboard?
A shot list describes the planned shots in text. In MakiVue, structured shot details connect to character and scene references and can be used to generate keyframe images. Review those images for composition and continuity before generating video.
