FAQs

What does this documentary script outline generator create?
It helps you develop an idea into a structured outline and expand it into a full script. You can then turn that script into a storyboard sequence to visualize the documentary as shots.
Can I start with an existing documentary script instead of an idea?
Yes. Paste in a script you already have and generate a storyboard from it, so you can translate written structure into a shot-by-shot plan.
How can I revise one section without changing the whole outline?
You can edit manually or use AI-assisted rewrites on selected passages. This makes it easy to expand, compress, change tone, or restructure a beat while keeping the rest of your draft intact.
Will my storyboard stay visually consistent from shot to shot?
CinemaDrop supports consistency by letting you reuse previous generations as references and by using Elements for characters, locations, and props. This helps your storyboard maintain a coherent look across a multi-shot sequence.
Can it help me plan b-roll and transitions?
Yes. Generating a shot list storyboard makes it easier to explore supporting b-roll and connective transitions that match your main scenes. You can test options early and keep the sequence feeling intentional.
Can I turn documentary storyboard shots into video?
Yes. You can generate video from text prompts or create image-to-video clips using selected start and end frames from your storyboard images, keeping motion guided by your chosen frames.
Does CinemaDrop handle narration and sound for documentary scenes?
Yes. You can generate speech with text-to-speech, transform uploaded audio with speech-to-speech, and create music via text-to-music, then attach audio to shots in the same workflow.
