FAQs

Why is CinemaDrop considered a best script to storyboard tool?
CinemaDrop is built around a storyboard-first workflow that turns a script into a readable shot sequence quickly. It also prioritizes visual continuity, helping characters and locations stay consistent across frames. When you’re ready, you can push beyond stills by adding motion and audio within the same project.
Can I use my existing screenplay to generate a storyboard?
Yes. Paste your screenplay into CinemaDrop to generate storyboard images that translate the written beats into a shot-by-shot visual plan. You can then refine the sequence as your script evolves.
How do I keep the same character consistent across storyboard frames?
CinemaDrop supports reference-based generation so earlier outputs can guide new shots. You can also create Elements for characters, locations, and props and reuse them across scenes to strengthen continuity. Adding stronger reference material typically improves consistency further.
Do I need a finished script to start?
No. You can begin from an idea with the Script Wizard, then develop a synopsis, outline, and full script. From there, you can storyboard that script in the same workflow. This helps you move from concept to visual plan without jumping between tools.
Is there an option for fast drafts and another for higher consistency?
Yes. CinemaDrop includes a faster, lower-cost mode suited for exploration and iteration, plus a slower high-quality consistency mode designed for stronger character identity and more reliable continuity. Many teams draft quickly first, then switch modes to lock in final boards.
Can I turn storyboard frames into video?
Yes. You can generate video directly from text or create image-to-video clips by selecting start and end frames from your storyboard. This lets you keep motion grounded in the shots you’ve already planned.
Can I add voice, music, and sound effects after storyboarding?
Yes. CinemaDrop includes text-to-speech with selectable voices, speech-to-speech voice transformation, and text-to-music generation. You can attach audio to shots to test timing, tone, and scene energy as your storyboard becomes more film-like.
