FAQs

Is CinemaDrop actually free screenplay formatting software?
CinemaDrop includes tools to create and edit scripts, then move directly into storyboarding and shot generation. Some generation features use credits, which can vary based on the model you choose. You can review plan options inside the product to understand what’s included.
Can I paste in a screenplay I already wrote?
Yes. Paste your existing screenplay and generate a shot-by-shot storyboard to turn written scenes into a visual plan quickly. You can then refine shots and sequencing as your story develops.
What’s the best way to rewrite dialogue or adjust pacing?
You can edit manually, or highlight a specific paragraph and ask AI to rewrite, expand, compress, or change the tone. This makes it easy to improve a scene while keeping the surrounding structure and intent consistent.
How does CinemaDrop help with character consistency across shots?
CinemaDrop is built around continuity using references and reusable Elements such as characters, locations, and props. Reusing prior outputs as references helps maintain identity and visual cohesion across multiple storyboard frames and shots.
When should I use fast storyboards vs high quality consistency mode?
Fast storyboards are designed for speed and lower cost while you explore ideas, coverage, and pacing. High quality consistency mode is better when you want stronger character lock and more reliable continuity as you move toward final shots.
Can I animate my storyboard into video?
Yes. You can generate video from a text prompt or use image-to-video with start and end frames chosen from your storyboard. This helps you keep motion aligned to the shots you’ve already planned.
Does CinemaDrop let me add voice, music, and sound effects?
Yes. You can generate speech with text-to-speech, transform uploaded audio with speech-to-speech, and generate music from a text description. Audio can be attached to shots so your storyboard evolves into a more complete scene.
