FAQs

What does an animatic template for filmmakers mean inside CinemaDrop?
In CinemaDrop, the “template” is a storyboard-first structure where your project is organized as a sequence of shots you can generate and iterate on. You can start from a script (or create one), produce a storyboard, then evolve shots into motion and add audio. The aim is a readable animatic with strong continuity and clear pacing.
Can I turn an existing script into an animatic plan quickly?
Yes. Paste in an existing script and generate a storyboard that maps the story into shot-by-shot visuals. That sequence becomes your base for an animatic as you refine frames, add motion where needed, and layer sound for timing.
What helps keep the same character consistent across multiple animatic shots?
CinemaDrop supports continuity by letting you reuse previous outputs as references when generating new shots. You can also create Character Elements with reference images to reinforce identity across scenes. This helps the cast and world stay stable throughout your animatic.
Is there a faster option for rough animatics and a higher-quality option for finals?
Yes. You can use a faster, lower-cost storyboard generation option to explore ideas quickly, then move to a slower high-quality consistency option when you need stronger character identity and more reliable continuity. A common workflow is fast exploration followed by higher-consistency passes on key shots.
Can I generate motion from my storyboard frames for an animatic?
Yes. You can create video from text prompts, or use an image-to-video approach by selecting start and end frames from your storyboard. This helps you add readable motion beats without restarting your sequence.
Does CinemaDrop support dialogue and sound for animatics?
Yes. CinemaDrop includes text-to-speech with voice selection and speech-to-speech for transforming uploaded audio. You can also generate music and add sound effects per shot, so your animatic communicates mood and pacing more clearly.
Do I need multiple tools to build an animatic template for filmmakers?
No. CinemaDrop is designed as an all-in-one studio where you can develop a story, create a storyboard, generate images and video, and add voice and music in the same workspace. Keeping everything together reduces handoffs and helps maintain continuity across the full sequence.
