FAQs

What does storyboard to video for short film mean in CinemaDrop?
It means you begin with a storyboard sequence of shots and then generate motion and audio as you refine the same sequence. You can generate video from text prompts or animate from selected start and end frames based on your storyboard images. The focus stays on story structure, shot order, and continuity.
Can I generate a storyboard from an existing script?
Yes. Paste in your script and generate a storyboard to get a shot-by-shot visual plan. Once your boards feel right, you can continue building the sequence into video while keeping the same story structure.
What’s the best way to keep the same character across multiple shots?
Reuse previous outputs as references when generating new shots to reinforce identity from scene to scene. You can also create character Elements with reference images to anchor the character’s look. In general, stronger and more consistent references lead to more reliable continuity.
Do I need to generate video from scratch, or can I animate my storyboard images?
You can do either. Use your storyboard images as anchors by selecting a start frame and an end frame, then generate video that transitions between them. You can also generate video directly from text prompts when you want to explore new motion or staging ideas.
Can I keep the same voice for dialogue throughout the short film?
Yes. CinemaDrop supports text-to-speech and speech-to-speech, and you can attach a voice to a character Element. This helps maintain vocal continuity across scenes as you build and revise your film.
How can I iterate quickly before committing to final quality?
Use the faster, lower-cost storyboard generation option to explore shots, blocking, and pacing. When you’re ready to finalize character identity and polish the look, switch to the slower, high-quality consistency option. Many creators iterate fast early, then render with higher consistency for the final pass.
Can I improve one shot without redoing the whole sequence?
Yes. You can apply text-based edits to images and video to change specific details while keeping the core shot intact. When available, upscaling can further improve resolution and perceived production value, letting you refine selectively without restarting your plan.
