macOS storyboard app

Built for macOS workflows

  • Multi‑window and widescreen: spread Storyboards, Video, and Settings across spaces or monitors.
  • Keyboard & trackpad optimized: fast navigation, batch selection, and quick actions.
  • Pro performance: long‑running generations, larger batches, and smooth multitasking.

Generate complete storyboards from a text prompt

  1. Create a project in the Storyboards tab.
  2. Click Generate Shots from Text Prompt.
  3. Fill the Prompt Form:
    • Text prompt describing the scene.
    • Genre (e.g., Sci‑Fi, Drama, Comedy) to guide tone.
    • LLM override for this generation if you want to differ from your default.
    • Number of shots to produce.
    • Skip Image Generation if you only want textual shot details first.
  4. Click Generate to create structured shots: characters, locations, time of day, camera angles, lighting, and dialogue.
  5. Iterate anytime—run again to append more shots or refine scenes.

Precision editing on every shot

  • Edit all details: characters, location, lighting, camera angle, dialogue.
  • Custom image prompt per shot:
    • Turn it on to write a free‑form prompt for image generation.
    • Turn it off to auto‑build prompts from structured shot details.
  • Edit image by text: regenerate/refine the current image with a new prompt.
  • Image history: view every version, click to set as primary, right‑click to delete.
  • Main image menu: right‑click to save or copy.
  • Face Swap: pick a photo and swap it into the current image.
  • Create Video from Shot: add the image to the Video queue; the app drafts a video prompt for you to review.
  • Video indicator: shots with generated videos show a small video icon on their thumbnail.

Video generation, single or bulk

  • From shots or from imported images in the Video tab.
  • The app auto‑generates a draft video prompt for each queued item.
  • Edit the prompt, then choose to Generate Video for one item or Generate All in bulk.
  • Background processing continues while you switch apps or lock the screen.
  • Notifications alert you when a video is ready; items appear in the Video tab and begin downloading if needed.

Styles, aspect ratios, and consistency

  • Image style: pick realistic, illustration, sketch, and more.
  • Aspect ratio: choose the format you need (16:9, 1:1, 9:16, etc.).
  • Character consistency: use compatible image models (e.g., Flux with Character Consistency) to keep looks aligned across shots.

Choose the right AI models for each task

  • Text (LLM): swap between models to match your narrative needs—from concise breakdowns to richly detailed shot lists.
  • Image: pick a model for speed, fidelity, or character consistency. Note that the Google Imagen 4 family does not support sketch/illustration styles.
  • Video: select quick previews (e.g., Ray 2 Flash) or higher‑fidelity options (e.g., Wan Pro) depending on timelines and budgets.

Export and share your storyboard

  • Export PDF: choose vertical or horizontal layout.
  • Export ZIP: includes all original‑resolution images plus a CSV of every structured field (characters, locations, dialogue, camera angles, prompts, and more).

Why creators love it on macOS

  • Desktop power: faster iterations, bigger batches, and easier asset management.
  • Granular control: edit every shot detail, with version history always available.
  • End‑to‑end pipeline: generate images and videos, then export as PDF or ZIP.
  • Production‑ready: background video generation and notifications fit pro workflows.
