Develop

Build storyboards, shot lists, and key art

Seed scenes, plan coverage, attach frames, and export production-facing visual documents.

Seed the board

Choose Seed from script. Boards uses Studio clips first and Writer beats when Studio has no clips. With neither source, add scenes by hand. Seeding rebuilds the scene list and only carries shots forward when the scene label still matches exactly, so export or review existing boards before re-seeding.

Plan individual shots

Choose + Shot and set size, angle, movement, lens, duration, and description. Suggest coverage appends a wide master, singles for a limited set of project characters, and an insert. It does not know who appears in the selected scene and does not reconcile existing shots, so remove irrelevant or duplicate suggestions.

Add frame images

A frame can come from an uploaded image, a frame grabbed from a rendered Studio clip, or an image generated through the connected CINAMATE generation runtime. Cross-origin renders can block frame capture. Frames are reduced for browser storage; if storage fills, export a backup and remove unused frames.

Export the shot plan

Shot list CSV exports scene, shot, size, angle, movement, lens, duration, and description. Print boards prints the selected scene in a three-card grid. Animatic produces a timed MP4 when the preferred encoder is supported and a real-time WebM fallback otherwise; empty frames become labelled slates.

Create a one-sheet

Open Key art, add a title, tagline, billing block, and background image or Studio frame. Choose Title low or Title high, then Export poster PNG. The current export is 1600 × 2400. Review font loading, crop, credits, and rights before use outside production.
