FAQs

Can I use an existing screenplay for script to video for short film?
Yes. You can start from a script you already have and generate a storyboard that breaks it into scenes and shots. Then you can iterate on the sequence and begin generating visuals and audio shot by shot.
What helps keep the same character consistent across different shots?
CinemaDrop supports reference-based generation and reusable Elements for characters, locations, and props. Reusing earlier outputs as references helps anchor identity so new shots match the same world. There’s also a higher-consistency option designed for stronger continuity when you need it.
Can I storyboard with still images before creating video?
Yes. Many creators start with stills to lock composition, wardrobe, and lighting first. When you’re ready, you can generate video from text prompts or guide motion with start and end frames pulled from your storyboard.
Which audio tools can I use to finish a short film sequence?
CinemaDrop supports text-to-speech, speech-to-speech voice transformation, text-to-music, and sound effects you can attach to shots. You can also assign a voice to a character Element to keep performance continuity across scenes.
If a shot is close but not right, do I have to start over?
No. You can make text-based edits to images and video to adjust details without rebuilding the entire idea. When available, upscaling workflows can help improve output quality after you’ve nailed the creative direction.
Is there a quick way to explore ideas before going for final quality?
Yes. CinemaDrop includes both faster, lower-cost storyboard generation and a slower, higher-consistency option. A common approach is to iterate quickly early, then switch to higher consistency for the shots you want to finalize.
How does pricing work for generating media in script to video for short film?
CinemaDrop provides access to multiple third-party models for image, video, lip-sync, and audio, each with its own credit cost. This lets you choose different tools per shot based on the look, speed, and budget you need. Total usage depends on which models and settings you select.
