What it is

StoryBirdie is a web tool for turning screenplays and other pre-production documents into analysis, shot lists, storyboard frames, timed animatics and exports. It accepts PDF, DOCX and Fountain files up to 20MB, and also works with treatments, creative briefs and concept documents. Script analysis checks for continuity errors; generated shot lists can include camera angles, blocking and props. Storyboards export as print-ready PDFs, while shot lists can be exported as XLSX, CSV or Markdown. Users select landscape 16:9 or portrait 9:16 for a screenplay, and that choice stays fixed for it. The site gives generation times of under a minute for script analysis, one to two minutes for a shot list and about 30 seconds per frame. It assigns one credit to analysis, two to shot-list generation and three to a storyboard frame. Credits do not expire, and unused subscription credits roll over. The free plan includes 20 credits; paid options include subscriptions and a one-time $50 credit pack. StoryBirdie says uploaded data is encrypted and account access restricted, and users retain ownership of their materials.
