Continuity You Can Trust

Continuity You Can Trust

Keep characters, locations, and props recognizable across the entire sequence with continuity-focused generation. Reuse prior frames as references and rely on Elements to anchor identity and design as you move shot to shot. When you’re locking the final look, switch to higher-consistency rendering for tighter stability.

Move From Boards To Motion

After the storyboard reads well, evolve key frames into video without breaking your sequence. Generate motion from text or animate between selected start and end frames to preserve composition and intent. The result is a smoother path from planning to playable scenes.

FAQs

What does this free screenplay to storyboard tool do?
It converts a screenplay into a visual, shot-by-shot storyboard so you can plan scenes and coverage faster. CinemaDrop uses a storyboard-first workflow you can expand into images, video, and audio. You can iterate on shots and tighten the sequence as the story evolves.
Do I need to write my script inside CinemaDrop?
No—if you already have a script, you can paste it in and generate a storyboard from it. If you’re still developing the idea, you can also use guided script creation to move from premise to a workable draft. Either way, the goal is to quickly reach a storyboard you can refine.
How do you keep the same character consistent across multiple storyboard frames?
CinemaDrop supports continuity by letting you reuse previous results as references while generating new shots. Elements—reusable characters, locations, and props with reference images—help anchor identity across a sequence. For final passes, higher-consistency rendering can improve shot-to-shot stability.
Can I turn storyboard images into video clips for an animatic?
Yes, you can generate video from text prompts or animate motion using selected start and end frames from your storyboard. This keeps your video clips aligned with the framing and intent of your boards. It’s a practical way to preview motion before committing to final production.
Does it support voice and audio per shot?
Yes, you can add generated voices, music, and sound effects to individual shots. You can also keep a character’s voice consistent across scenes by assigning it at the character level when supported. This helps you evaluate pacing, emotion, and clarity earlier.
When should I use fast storyboarding vs higher-consistency rendering?
Fast storyboarding is ideal for exploring ideas, testing coverage, and iterating cheaply while the sequence is still changing. Higher-consistency rendering is better when you’re locking character identity and visual continuity for a more final look. Many creators iterate fast, then upgrade selected shots for polish.
Can I rewrite parts of the script after the storyboard is generated?
Yes, you can edit the script manually and use AI-assisted rewrites for specific sections. That makes it easier to adjust tone, tighten dialogue, or restructure a scene without restarting from scratch. After revisions, you can update and refine the storyboard to match the new draft.
