Create Animatic From Storyboard With On-Model Continuity

  • Storyboard First Workflow

    Map the story shot by shot, then bring boards to life with motion and audio for an animatic.

  • Consistency With Elements

    Reuse character, location, and prop references so each shot stays on-model across the animatic.

  • Video And Audio In One Project

    Generate shots from text or frames and add speech, music, and sound effects in the same timeline.

Turn Boards Into Playable Motion

Create animatic from storyboard by converting key frames into short video shots that keep your original composition and staging. Use text-to-video to create fresh motion, or image-to-video with start and end frames to shape movement between beats. The result is a watchable sequence that communicates timing, action, and story flow.

Keep Characters On-Model

Continuity is what makes an animatic feel like one world instead of a patchwork of shots. CinemaDrop lets you reuse prior outputs and Elements (characters, locations, props) as references so identity and design details stay consistent. That means fewer distracting changes and a cleaner storyboard-to-animatic pass.

Add Dialogue Music And SFX

An animatic lands when it sounds as good as it looks. Generate speech for dialogue and attach it to shots, keeping voices consistent by assigning a voice to a character Element. Layer in music and sound effects to sell emotion, rhythm, and key beats.

Iterate Shot By Shot

Refine what’s not working without rebuilding your entire sequence. Use text-based edits to adjust images or video shots, and upscale when you need a cleaner, more presentable look. Start fast with a quick storyboard pass, then switch to higher-quality consistency when you’re ready to tighten continuity.

FAQs

What does it mean to create animatic from storyboard in CinemaDrop?
It means starting with a storyboard sequence and generating motion and audio so the shots play as an animatic. You can turn frames into video shots, then add dialogue, music, and sound effects. This helps you judge timing, performance, and pacing before committing to full production.
Can I start from a script and generate the storyboard first?
Yes. You can paste an existing script to generate a storyboard quickly, then use that shot sequence as the base for your animatic. If you’re starting from scratch, the Script Wizard can help you go from an idea to a screenplay and then into storyboards.
How do I keep the same character across multiple animatic shots?
CinemaDrop supports continuity by reusing prior outputs as references and by using Elements for characters, locations, and props. Anchoring new shots to those references helps keep identity and world details more consistent from scene to scene. Stronger reference images typically improve results.
Can I animate between two storyboard images as a single shot?
Yes. CinemaDrop supports image-to-video where you select a start frame and an end frame from your storyboard and generate motion between them. This is a useful way to create controlled transitions and movement that follows your boards.
Can I add dialogue and keep a consistent voice for a character?
Yes. You can generate speech and attach it to shots, and you can assign a selected voice to a character Element. That makes it easier to keep voice continuity across the entire animatic.
How do I balance speed versus continuity while making an animatic?
CinemaDrop provides a faster storyboard option for quick iteration and a slower high-quality consistency option when you want stronger continuity. A common workflow is to move quickly early, then switch to higher consistency once key shots and characters are locked. This keeps iteration practical without sacrificing cohesion.
Can I revise just one shot without redoing the whole animatic?
Yes. CinemaDrop supports text-based editing for images and video so you can request targeted changes to a single shot. This makes it easier to fix a pose, camera feel, or detail while keeping the rest of the sequence intact.
