In their own words
Storyboarder.ai
Storyboarder.ai is a web-based AI pre-production platform for turning scripts or ideas into screenplays, shot lists, storyboards, and animatics. It accepts scripts in PDF, FDX, Fountain, Word, and plain text, and imports shot lists from Excel. The maker describes its AI as keeping characters, locations, and props consistent across storyboard frames. A 3D camera tool lets users orbit, pan, tilt, and zoom scenes to change framing. Exports include shot lists and storyboards as PDF, animatics as MP4, and storyboards as pitch decks. Video 2.0 supports clips up to 15 seconds, and Multi-Cut sequences include built-in audio. The platform is presented for film, commercial, animation, short-film, corporate-content, and documentary workflows. The company says customer scripts, inputs, storyboards, and outputs are not used to train AI models under contractual terms with model providers. Its Trust Center lists GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and SOC 2 Type 2 materials. The free trial limits users to two projects and six shots per project, with watermarked exports and no commercial use. Paid plans include Starter at $45 a month and yearly-billed Starter at $35 a year, billed monthly; the page also shows $69 and a limited-time price note until Oct 31.
