FAQs

What does CinemaDrop do for a shot list for documentary scene planning?
CinemaDrop helps you turn a written Shot List For Documentary Scene into a visual storyboard you can adjust shot by shot. From that same sequence, you can generate images, video, and audio to preview how the scene might play. It’s built to keep the story structure clear while you iterate.
Can I start from an existing script or outline instead of writing from scratch?
Yes. You can paste in an existing script and generate a storyboard from it, then revise individual shots to match documentary coverage needs. If you’re starting from an idea, you can develop it into a script using the Script Wizard.
How do I keep the same interview subject consistent across multiple angles?
CinemaDrop supports visual consistency by letting you reuse prior outputs as references and by using Elements for reusable assets like characters and locations. This helps maintain identity and continuity across wides, mediums, and close-ups within the same scene. It’s especially useful for interview sequences where the world must match from cut to cut.
Can I create b-roll variations while keeping the same location and style?
Yes. Build a b-roll run inside the storyboard and reuse references to keep location, props, and overall style aligned. Then adjust shot descriptions and camera intent to create variety while staying in the same documentary world.
Does CinemaDrop generate video for documentary-style shots?
CinemaDrop supports text-to-video generation and image-to-video using selected start and end frames from your storyboard. This lets you preview motion and continuity based on the shots you planned. You can iterate until the scene feels cohesive.
Can I add narration, interview audio, or consistent voices per character?
Yes. CinemaDrop includes text-to-speech and speech-to-speech, and you can attach audio to individual shots in the storyboard. Elements can also include a voice so a recurring subject or narrator can stay consistent throughout a sequence. You can add music and sound elements to support the scene’s tone.
What’s the difference between fast storyboarding and high-quality consistency rendering?
Fast storyboarding is designed for speed and lower cost while you explore coverage and pacing, but it may be less consistent shot to shot. High-quality consistency rendering is typically used when you want stronger identity lock and more reliable continuity for final shots. Many teams use both: fast to find the cut, then higher consistency to polish.
