AI Storyboard Creator for Filmmakers
Create detailed storyboards with AI models including Veo 3.1 and Kling 3.0. Generate frame sequences, add motion, and export shots directly inside the Flixly dashboard for faster pre-production.
TL;DR
Flixly turns script lines into consistent storyboard panels using Seedance 2.0, Veo 3.1, and Kling 3.0. Generate 12 to 18 frames per credit batch at 1080p, lock characters with reference images, and export PNG sequences or MP4 reels without leaving the dashboard.
Starting with a 90-second scene
A 90-second scene at 24 frames per second demands 2160 individual drawings before any camera rolls. Most filmmakers still draw these frames on paper or in basic drawing apps, then scan and sequence them manually.
Where manual storyboarding breaks down
Paper sketches take 4 to 6 hours per minute of final footage. Digital tablets reduce drawing time but leave no quick path to motion tests or consistent character turns. Exporting to editing software adds another layer of file conversion.
How AI storyboarding works on Flixly
Users start with a short script line and generate key frames through the Text to Video tool. Seedance 2.0 and Veo 3.1 turn those prompts into 8-second clips at 1080p. The first frame of each clip becomes the storyboard panel.
Frame consistency across shots
Reference images uploaded to the Reference to Video tool lock character appearance. One reference face keeps the same actor visible in every generated panel without redrawing.
Adding motion and timing
Once static panels exist, the Image to Video tool extends them into short loops. A 4-second camera push or a 6-second walk cycle can be tested in under two minutes per shot.
Comparison of output formats
| Model | Max clip length | Resolution | Typical credit cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 | 8 seconds | 1080p | 12 |
| Veo 3.1 | 10 seconds | 1080p | 15 |
| Kling 3.0 | 6 seconds | 720p | 9 |
Edge cases and current limits
Complex crowd scenes still require manual cleanup because current models merge background figures after 5 seconds. Lip sync for dialogue lines works better after export to the Lip Sync Video page. Night scenes with heavy rain need extra prompt detail to avoid artifacts.
Export workflow
Finished panels export as PNG sequences or MP4 story reels. The Motion Poster tool can turn a static panel into a 3-second looping teaser for pitch decks.
FAQ
How many storyboard panels can one credit batch produce? A single generation run on Veo 3.1 yields between 12 and 18 key frames when set to 1080p and 8-second clips.
Can AI storyboards maintain the same character across 50 panels? Yes. Upload one reference image to the reference tool and generate every panel from that fixed character sheet.
What resolution do exported storyboards reach? The platform outputs 1080p PNG sequences or H.264 MP4 files ready for editing software import.
Do generated panels include camera direction notes? Prompts can include "slow dolly in" or "handheld pan right" and the model renders the motion accordingly.
Is voice-over testing possible inside the same project? Record lines with the Text to Speech tool and attach them to any panel for timing checks.
