FAQs

What does a script breakdown tool for animation do in CinemaDrop?
It converts your script into a shot-by-shot storyboard so you can visualize scenes and plan coverage. You can then iterate on individual shots while keeping style and continuity using references and Elements. From that same sequence, you can also generate video and add audio.
Do I need a complete screenplay to start?
No. CinemaDrop includes a Script Wizard that can guide you from an initial premise to a full script in structured steps. Once you have a script draft, you can generate a storyboard and refine it shot-by-shot.
How do references and Elements help with consistency?
Reusing previous outputs as references helps preserve character identity, lighting, and overall style from shot to shot. Elements let you define characters, locations, and props so new generations stay anchored to the same creative building blocks. Adding additional reference images often improves continuity.
Can I iterate quickly before committing to final visuals?
Yes. A faster storyboard generation option is designed for quick exploration and lower cost during early iteration. When you want to lock the look, a higher-quality consistency option can provide more stable results, even if it takes longer. This helps you balance speed and polish across the pipeline.
Can I update only one scene or section of the script?
Yes. You can edit manually or select specific parts and ask AI to rewrite, expand, compress, or adjust tone. This makes it easier to improve targeted sections without restarting the entire script.
What are my options for turning storyboard panels into motion?
You can generate text-to-video for a shot, or use image-to-video by selecting start and end frames from your storyboard. This keeps motion grounded in the framing you’ve already established. You can iterate on individual shots without rebuilding the whole sequence.
Can CinemaDrop generate voices, music, and sound effects for animated scenes?
Yes. You can generate speech with text-to-speech, transform uploaded audio with speech-to-speech, and create music from a text description. You can also assign a voice to a character Element to help keep performances consistent across shots.
