# Move from script or brief to a production-ready visual plan

AI Storyboard Generator turns a script, scene, or ad brief into a structured storyboard: an editable shot list plus one to four key-frame images. The shot list plans shot types, camera angles and movement, action, timing, dialogue, and sound for short films, ads, animation, social video, and creative pitches. AI Storyboard Generator works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents that run Skills.

## A storyboard that gives production a clear visual source of truth

### Plan before rendering

Define each beat, shot size, composition, camera intent, timing, dialogue, and sound before committing to visual frames.

### Generate only decisive frames

Choose one to four shots that need visual alignment, keeping the board focused and reviewable.

## How it is made

### Build the shot list · Make every shot carry one clear story beat

Start from the script or brief and document subject, action, framing, camera, timing, dialogue, sound, and a concise frame prompt.

- Story beat and action
- Shot size, angle, and movement
- Timing, dialogue, and sound cue
- Still-frame prompt

### Select and visualize · Create key frames for the moments that need alignment

Read the sequence, select one to four decisive shots, and create each frame from its chosen composition, style, references, and canvas.

- Selected key-frame moments
- Ordered visual references
- Composition and style requirements
- Editable shot list with returned frames

## Shot planning for films, ads, animation, and social video

### Short films and vertical drama

Translate a scene into an ordered shot plan with clear beats, camera choices, timing, and continuity cues.

### Advertising concepts

Map the product message, hook, action, and closing beat into frames that creative and production teams can compare.

### Animation and creative pitches

Establish composition, character placement, locations, and visual rhythm before a larger production begins.

## Questions

### What do I need to start?

A script, scene outline, ad brief, or story concept that includes the core action, audience, and intended format.

### How many storyboard images can I create?

One to four key frames, drawn as individual storyboard images alongside the full shot list.

### Can I use character or location references?

Yes. Provide them in a clear order and say what each one is for; the key frames are drawn from them.
