AI Storyboard Generator

An AI storyboard generator turns a script or a shot list into frames: one image per shot, showing the framing, the action and who is in it. A storyboard is a planning tool, so what matters is speed, clear staging, and the same characters and locations from shot to shot, not a perfect final image.

On Mage, frames come from the image models. Mango 3 keeps the same character across a set and combines up to 10 reference images, and the Characters system saves each actor from one portrait. GPT Image 2.5 Flare can lay out a whole sheet of numbered panels with captions when you want a classic board.

Then the board can move. Each frame can become a short clip with image to video, and the Storyboard tool joins up to six of your clips, in the order you choose, into one MP4. For a whole story from a single prompt, Story Studio writes and films 5 to 20 scenes on its own.

Write each frame like a line in a shot list: shot size, camera angle, subject, action, location and light. "Medium shot, low angle: @brick kicks open a warehouse door, dust in the backlight." Shot sizes (wide, medium, close-up, insert) and angles (low, high, over the shoulder, top-down) are words the models understand.

Decide the aspect ratio before the first frame and keep it: 16:9 for film and widescreen video, 9:16 for vertical video. Storyboard exports in one of those two shapes, so a board that is meant to become an animatic should use them from the start.

For a classic printed board, ask GPT Image 2.5 Flare for a sheet: "storyboard sheet, six numbered panels in two rows, pencil sketch style, a short caption under each." It renders the captions in the image, which suits shot numbers and one-line notes.

• Lead with the shot size and the camera angle.
• Keep to one action per frame.
• Use one aspect ratio for the whole board.
• Use @handles for every recurring character.
• Rough sketch styles read faster than polished renders.

Every frame is a starting image for video. With image to video, Lemon can go from a first frame to a last frame you choose, which suits a planned camera move, and Cherry 2 Pro makes clips of up to 30 seconds with your saved characters and references. Cherry 2 Pro takes no first or last frame, so use it when the references matter more than the exact opening image.

When the shots are ready, open Storyboard, add up to six clips, drag them into order, choose 16:9 or 9:16, and export one MP4. A video made in Storyboard cannot be added back into another storyboard, so keep the original clips.

If you would rather start from the story than the shots, Story Studio takes one story prompt and a cast of one to three characters and films 5 to 20 scenes in order. It always runs on Gems, and each scene downloads as its own clip. The AI movie generator guide covers it in detail.
