StoryboardHero is an AI-powered storyboarding platform built for video agencies, filmmakers, and creators who need to turn ideas into professional video storyboards quickly. The tool generates concepts, structured scripts, and matching visuals in minutes, helping teams pitch more prospects, align with clients faster, and cut the days typically spent on manual storyboard creation. It was developed by the team behind fewStones, a Singapore-based corporate video agency with more than a decade of video production experience.
Key Features
- AI script generation: Enter a short brief and the platform produces a full script broken into scenes and shots, with scene description, voice over, camera direction, and transitions.
- Script import: Upload a formatted PDF or CSV of an existing script and the AI automatically identifies scenes, shots, and supporting details.
- AI image generation: Choose from a wide range of styles and generate unlimited standard images, plus a monthly quota of premium images for higher fidelity output.
- Character consistency: Create and save custom characters with defined age, ethnicity, clothing, and facial features to keep subjects visually consistent across frames.
- Filmmaker controls: Specify shot type, perspective, focus, lighting, movement, and camera settings on a per-frame basis.
- Hand-drawn option: Buy credits and have the in-house team of sketch artists draw specific scenes when AI output is not sufficient.
- PDF and shotlist export: Generate branded PDF storyboards and CSV or PDF shotlists ready to share with clients.
- Online sharing and feedback: Share storyboards via link with optional password protection, collect guest comments per scene, and get notified when feedback is added.
- Video generation: Produce MP4 files from storyboards using AI voice over and add your own music or recorded voiceover.
- Multiple languages, image ratios, and versioning with both express and frame-by-frame editing modes.
How It Works
Start by creating a project and entering a brief that describes your video, including duration, style, and video type. If you already have a script, upload a CSV or PDF using the provided template and the AI parses it into scenes. Otherwise, the AI generates a script which you can edit, regenerate, or refine scene by scene. Once the script is set, StoryboardHero generates matching images for each frame in your chosen visual style. Regenerate individual frames or whole projects, swap AI images for hand-drawn ones, and fine-tune camera and lighting details. When the storyboard is ready, export it as a branded PDF or turn it into an MP4 with AI voice over and music.
Use Cases
- Video agencies: Pitch more prospects with polished visuals, win more business, and align quickly with clients after contracts are signed to reduce costly revisions.
- Filmmakers and directors: Pre-visualize scenes with precise camera, lighting, and movement controls before stepping onto set.
- Content creators and marketers: Produce social media video storyboards and concept decks without prior design experience.
- Educators and training teams: Build explainer video storyboards and script-to-storyboard flows for instructional content.
- Non-designers: Anyone can turn an abstract idea into a tangible storyboard without prior design or video production experience.
