  • Consistency First

    Reuse references and Elements to keep characters, locations, and props coherent across the entire storyboard.

  • From Storyboard to Film

    Turn frames into video and build out dialogue, music, and sound effects without leaving your project.

Fill Every Box With Real Frames

A storyboard template with grid lines gives you structure, and CinemaDrop helps you populate each cell with finished storyboard images. Start from an idea or a script and generate a clear, shot-by-shot visual plan you can refine immediately. Iterate quickly on composition, action, and mood without getting stuck at the sketch stage.

Lock Continuity Across Shots

Lock Continuity Across Shots

CinemaDrop is designed for continuity, so characters, locations, and key props stay recognizable from frame to frame. Reuse previous outputs as references to preserve identity while changing camera angle, framing, or performance. The result is a storyboard that reads like one cohesive world instead of a set of disconnected images.

Add Motion and Sound

Add Motion and Sound

Once your frames are set, CinemaDrop can turn shots into video with text-to-video or image-to-video using start and end frames. Add dialogue with text-to-speech (including character voices), and layer music and sound effects within the same project. Your storyboard becomes a watchable sequence you can refine shot by shot.

FAQs

Is this a printable storyboard template with grid lines?
CinemaDrop isn’t a static printable worksheet—it’s a workspace for generating a shot-by-shot storyboard with real frames. If you like the structure of a storyboard template with grid lines, you can follow that same grid approach while filling each shot with consistent visuals. The focus is on going from empty boxes to usable frames you can iterate on.
Can I start from my own script?
Yes. You can paste an existing script into CinemaDrop and generate a storyboard from it. That makes it easier to translate written scenes into a visual plan you can adjust shot by shot.
How do I keep the same character across multiple storyboard frames?
CinemaDrop supports visual continuity by letting you reuse previous generated outputs as references for new shots. You can also use Elements such as character and location assets to anchor identity across a sequence. Using stronger references typically improves consistency.
What if I only have a premise and no script yet?
CinemaDrop includes a Script Wizard that can guide you from a premise to characters, synopsis, outline, and a full script. After that, you can storyboard directly from what you wrote. This supports an end-to-end workflow from idea to storyboard.
Can I convert storyboard frames into video clips?
Yes. You can generate video from text prompts or create image-to-video clips by selecting start and end frames from your storyboard images. This helps you add controlled motion while staying aligned with your planned shots.
Does CinemaDrop support voices, music, and sound effects?
Yes. You can generate speech with text-to-speech and transform uploaded audio with speech-to-speech using a selected voice. You can also generate music from text and add sound effects so your storyboard can develop into a more complete sequence.
What’s the difference between fast storyboarding and high-quality consistency?
The fast option is optimized for quicker iteration and lower cost, which is useful early on but may reduce shot-to-shot consistency. The high-quality consistency option takes longer but aims for stronger identity lock and steadier continuity. Many creators explore fast and then switch to high-quality when finalizing the look.
Do I need to stick to one model for every frame?
No. CinemaDrop provides access to multiple third-party models across image, video, and audio, each with its own credit cost. You can choose what fits a specific shot while keeping everything organized in a storyboard-driven workflow.
