FAQs

What can I create with this online animatic maker?
You can create a shot-by-shot storyboard sequence and evolve it into an animatic by adding motion and audio per shot. CinemaDrop supports generating images and videos for scenes, plus dialogue, music, and sound effects to help you evaluate timing and tone. It’s designed for fast iteration while you shape the story.
Can I use it if I don’t have a finished script yet?
Yes. If you’re starting from a premise, CinemaDrop’s Script Wizard can guide you from idea to synopsis, outline, and script. If you already have a script, you can paste it in and go straight to storyboard generation. Either way, you can iterate on your animatic structure early.
How do I keep characters and locations consistent across shots?
You can reuse previous outputs as references when generating new shots to reinforce continuity. You can also create Elements for characters, locations, and props and attach reference images to strengthen identity across the sequence. This helps your animatic feel like one coherent production.
Can I convert storyboard frames into video for an animatic?
Yes. You can generate motion with text-to-video, or use image-to-video by selecting start and end frames from your storyboard. This approach keeps movement aligned to your shot plan while letting you explore different results quickly. It’s a practical way to test action and transitions.
Can I add dialogue, music, and sound effects to the animatic?
Yes. You can generate dialogue with text-to-speech and transform existing recordings with speech-to-speech. You can also generate music from a text description and attach it alongside sound effects to your shots. Character Elements can include a voice to help keep performances consistent.
Is there a quick way to draft a rough animatic before polishing?
Yes. CinemaDrop offers a faster, lower-cost storyboard generation option for rapid exploration, and a slower, higher-quality consistency option when you’re ready to lock in identity and polish. Many creators block out shot order and beats quickly, then switch to higher consistency for the final pass. This supports both speed and refinement in one project.
Can I revise a single shot without rebuilding the whole sequence?
Yes. CinemaDrop supports text-based editing for images and video so you can describe what to change and iterate on a specific shot. Upscaling is also available where supported to improve output quality. This makes it easier to refine problem frames while keeping your overall animatic intact.
