From Script To Shot List

CinemaDrop helps you turn a short film script into a structured storyboard sequence so you can visualize the story before production. Start from an existing script or develop one with the Script Wizard, then shape each beat into a clear shot-by-shot plan. You’ll spot pacing problems, missing coverage, and scene transitions early—when changes are still easy.

Consistency Across Every Frame

An online storyboard template for short film work only pays off when the whole sequence feels like one movie. CinemaDrop is built for continuity, letting you reuse prior outputs as references so characters, props, locations, and visual style stay aligned from shot to shot. The result is a storyboard that reads as a cohesive scene progression instead of disconnected images.

Move From Stills To Motion

Once the storyboard is working, you can generate video for individual shots inside the same project workspace. Create motion from text prompts or guide the shot with start and end frames based on your storyboard images. This keeps movement grounded in your planned composition while you iterate toward the final short film feel.

FAQs

Is this an online storyboard template for short film scripts I already wrote?
Yes. You can paste in an existing script and generate a storyboard sequence from it to create a shot-by-shot visual plan. From there, you can refine shots and keep everything organized around the storyboard.
Can I start from a concept even if I don’t have a finished screenplay?
Yes. CinemaDrop includes a guided Script Wizard to help you develop an idea into a complete script, then move directly into storyboarding. It’s designed to support an end-to-end workflow from premise to planned shots.
What helps keep the same character consistent across multiple storyboard frames?
CinemaDrop supports continuity by letting you reuse previous generations as references and by using Elements for reusable assets like characters and locations. Adding more reference images to an Element typically improves consistency across shots. This helps your storyboard maintain a single, believable world.
Can storyboard frames be used to generate video shots?
Yes. You can generate video for shots in your storyboard, including text-to-video and image-to-video using start and end frames from storyboard images. This helps keep motion aligned with your planned compositions.
Does it support voice and audio so the storyboard feels like a cut?
Yes. CinemaDrop supports text-to-speech, speech-to-speech, and text-to-music, and you can attach audio to individual shots. You can also assign a voice to a character Element to keep performance consistent across scenes.
Can I iterate quickly first and then focus on higher consistency later?
Yes. CinemaDrop offers two storyboard generation modes: a faster, lower-cost option for quick iteration and a slower, high-quality consistency option when you want stronger character identity lock. This makes it practical to explore ideas early and polish when you’re ready.
Do I need separate tools for storyboarding, video, and sound?
No. CinemaDrop is designed as an all-in-one workspace where you can develop the story, storyboard it, and generate images, video, voice, music, and sound effects in one place. That reduces tool switching and helps keep your project consistent.
