AI storyboard planning and key-frame creation
Move from script or brief to a production-ready visual plan
AI Storyboard Generator turns a script, scene, or ad brief into a structured storyboard: an editable shot list plus one to four key-frame images. The shot list plans shot types, camera angles and movement, action, timing, dialogue, and sound for short films, ads, animation, social video, and creative pitches. AI Storyboard Generator works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents that run Skills.

A storyboard that gives production a clear visual source of truth
Plan before rendering
Define each beat, shot size, composition, camera intent, timing, dialogue, and sound before committing to visual frames.
Generate only decisive frames
Choose one to four shots that need visual alignment, keeping the board focused and reviewable.
How it is made
Make every shot carry one clear story beat
Start from the script or brief and document subject, action, framing, camera, timing, dialogue, sound, and a concise frame prompt.
Story beat and action · Shot size, angle, and movement · Timing, dialogue, and sound cue · Still-frame prompt
Create key frames for the moments that need alignment
Read the sequence, select one to four decisive shots, and create each frame from its chosen composition, style, references, and canvas.
Selected key-frame moments · Ordered visual references · Composition and style requirements · Editable shot list with returned frames
