How the Sequential Visual Storyboard Pipeline Works

Three autonomous AI agents handle story adaptation, CharacterRef identity locking, and multi-panel typesetting in under 60 seconds.

01

Paste Screenplay, Fountain, or Comic Script

Input standard INT./EXT. sluglines, Page/Panel comic scripts, or raw dialogue scenes. The parser automatically detects speakers, stage directions, and camera cues.

02

Auto-Generate Cinematography & Shot Breakdown

Each beat is mapped to a concrete cinematographic shot (Extreme Wide, Over-the-Shoulder, Dutch Tilt, Macro Insert) with character position locks.

03

Render Rough Storyboard Sketches or Final Inked Pages

Toggle between rapid G-pen storyboard animatic sketches, classic B&W manga screentones, or full-color cinematic frames and export PDF shot decks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What script formats does the Script to Storyboard AI accept? expand_more

You can paste movie screenplays (Fountain or Final Draft text with INT./EXT. sluglines), traditional comic book scripts (Page 1, Panel 1 format), game cutscene dialogues, or unstructured narrative prose. The AI Director automatically normalizes any format into sequential storyboard panels.

Can I control camera angles like Dutch tilts, over-the-shoulder, or close-ups? expand_more

Yes. Our Cinematography Agent automatically selects dramatic camera angles based on scene intensity, and you can customize or override the shot type, focal length, and composition of any individual panel before or after rendering.

Does it keep characters and locations consistent across an entire scene? expand_more

Yes. Both CharacterRef (for actors/protagonists) and LocationRef (for recurring sets and environments) lock visual seeds so costumes, facial features, and room architecture remain consistent from establishing wide shots to reverse close-ups.

Can I switch from rough storyboard sketches to finished colored comic art? expand_more

Yes! You can draft your initial pacing in 'Storyboard Sketch' or 'Classic B&W Manga' style, and then upgrade or re-render the exact same panel layouts in 'Full-Color Manhwa' or 'Modern Anime' with one click.
