In their own words
Cygnus
Cygnus turns screenplays into video sequences with consistent characters across frames, supporting a workflow from initial concept through review and export. The stages cover concept, script, character and location references, storyboard, video, timeline, review, and export. Scripts can be imported from Final Draft, PDF, Fountain, plain text, treatments, or outlines. Reference images are used to maintain character appearances across storyboard frames and clips. Collaborators can comment, annotate, and approve work through shareable review links. Listed exports include Premiere Pro, After Effects, Frame.io, and PDF, plus Premiere XML and EDL. Video generation produces 1–15 second clips at 720p, while extensions add 2–10 seconds to a source video. Cygnus recommends projects of 1–5 minutes, 3–10 scenes, and 8–35 shots; longer work can be divided into acts or sequences. Browser access is available, alongside a notarized macOS app requiring macOS 14 or later. The free plan includes 200 credits per month, two projects, and watermarked 720p exports. Paid plans include commercial-use licensing for generated content.
GOGUL
GOGUL is a web platform that turns creative ideas or scripts into AI-generated storyboards, images, and videos. It divides a video concept into 6–12 cinematic frames, adding scene descriptions, camera angles, and lighting notes. Character Lock is intended to keep a character’s face and outfit consistent across those frames. Other tools include multi-angle generation, camera controls, visual styles, image editing, and upscaling. Users can turn a storyboard frame into video with models listed by the site, including Kling, Seedance, Veo, and Wan. GOGUL also connects to Claude as a custom connector for media generation and checking account credits through chat. The free plan provides a one-time 100-credit balance, up to eight frames per storyboard, one character, and one video model; credits do not replenish. Starter costs $9 a month, or $7/mo billed yearly ($86). Starter includes ZIP and PDF export, though PDF export costs 30 credits. Monthly subscription credits do not roll over; purchased credit-pack credits do not expire while the account remains active.
