3.0.0
  • NEWIntroduced Elements: reusable building blocks you can tag inside storyboard prompts to generate images.

Use Elements to quickly reuse the same prompt or image references across your storyboard.
  • NEWElements are available per Project, in your Library, and in the Elements Marketplace—a global community of public Elements you can add to your projects. You can also create your own Elements.
  • NEWAdded Scriptwriting: write scripts manually in-app, or use the Script Wizard to go from idea → concepts → outline → full script in minutes.

  • CHANGEDElements are now unlimited for all users. Previously, we used basic References with tier-based limits—Elements replace References and remove those limits.
  • CHANGEDRemoved tier-based shot/scene caps. All users can now create up to 50 shots per scene and up to 100 scenes per storyboard.
  • NEWAdded Playground inside each Project: experiment with image/video generation freely without being bound to the storyboard UI—test prompts, styles, and ideas without worrying about placement.
  • NEWElements Marketplace now includes ready-made Characters, Environments, Objects, and cinematic Prompt Elements to help you start creating immediately.
  • IMPROVEDUpgraded Script → Storyboard logic: generates detailed prompts for every shot with cinematic terminology (camera, angles, focus, etc.), doing the heavy lifting so you can get high-quality results in minutes.
