Storyboard AI Image Generator: Best Practices

At the heart of every AI storyboard app is the AI image generator. This feature turns your shot descriptions into visuals you can use to plan a film or video.

How It Works

  1. Input shot description: characters, setting, action, lighting, camera angle.
  2. Choose an image model: Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana 2 Lite, GPT Image 2, GPT Image 2 LQ, Z-Image, Flux 2, Wan 2.7, Bria 3.2, or the Google Imagen 4 family.
  3. Attach references so the same character and location appear in every frame.
  4. Generate and refine until you get the right look. For edits, describe the change in plain words and let Nano Banana 2 or GPT Image 2 apply it.

Features in Storyboard Creator AI

  • Custom prompts: override the auto-built prompt and write the image description yourself.
  • Image history: every generation is a new version, stored with the model and prompt that made it. Set any version as current, or delete the ones you do not want.
  • Character consistency: character, location, and style references are sent with every image prompt. Supported by Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana 2 Lite, GPT Image 2, and GPT Image 2 LQ.
  • Camera angle control: re-shoot the same frame from a different horizontal angle, vertical angle, or zoom.
  • Style support: realistic, digital art, and sketch. Note that the Google Imagen 4 family does not support sketch or digital art styles.

Best Practices

  • Be descriptive: add lighting, perspective, and mood.
  • Stay consistent: set up your references before the first big generation, and keep one style across the board.
  • Iterate smartly: compare history versions instead of regenerating blindly, and step the whole storyboard back a version when a pass goes wrong.
  • Export cleanly: use the ZIP archive for full-resolution outputs when the storyboard moves into production.

The storyboard AI image generator is where your written vision becomes visual reality. Done right, it saves you days of sketching and helps your team see the story before filming begins.
