What it is
Cineboard is a web-based visual pre-production workspace for directors, cinematographers, and small creative teams. Moodboard collects reference images, notes, and links on a canvas that users arrange and connect. Storyboard Shot Cards keep images, actions, director notes, and technical details such as lens, camera, shot size, angle, movement, and FPS together. Shooting Plan schedules shots in shooting order while retaining the storyboard’s narrative order, with dates, locations, start times, buffers, and weather and daylight context. Frame Lab can generate and revise frames from character, location, and styling references, but it is optional. Storyboards export as PDF and shooting days as Paper Schedules. Cineboard is desktop-first, works best in current Chrome, Safari, or Edge, and supports iPad for review and light editing. Internet access is required for cloud saving, collaboration, and generation. Plans include a free tier and paid plans from $9.90 a month.
