AI Storyboard vs ShortPlay Studio

AI Storyboard turns written scenes into editable shot plans and visual references in a web workspace. It extracts scene details, camera movement, character actions, and atmosphere from creative descriptions, then lets users adjust angles, movements, character positions, and artistic style. Reference images use the GLM image model, and short video clips can illustrate movement. Projects support search, filters, scene layouts, shot annotations, and JSON export. No account or login is required, and project data remains in browser storage. When generation is requested, prompts and necessary media are sent to the backend and AI provider over HTTPS. The privacy policy says provider retention and model-training practices follow provider terms and policies. The public site uses Google Analytics, and named third parties include Google Fonts, AI image and video generation, and content delivery services. The Free plan costs nothing and covers the core workflow. The maker says projects have no frame limit, though generation depends on service capacity and provider limits.

ShortPlay Studio is a web-based workflow for turning scripts or scene outlines into shot-by-shot visual plans and review-ready video drafts. It separates scripts into scenes and shots, identifies characters and locations, and supports reusable characters, locations, scenes, and props for continuity. Storyboard rows can record camera shots, movement, visual content, dialogue, sound, duration, and prompts. Approved storyboard beats can become vertical shot frames, then continue into video generation and composition for a draft. The product focuses on 9:16 vertical frames for short drama and positions itself before final video generation. Users can export storyboard frames, reusable references, or a video draft for approval. Script import, shot sequencing, frame generation, shot annotations, and team collaboration are supported. Intended audiences include short drama teams, agencies and pitch teams, directors and producers, and content and training teams. The Free plan costs nothing and includes two credits. Basic costs $30, paid once for 70 credits; Pro costs $60, paid once for 150 credits and priority support.
