Continuity That Holds Up Across Shots

Consistency is crucial in commercial animatics, and CinemaDrop is designed to support it with references and reusable Elements for characters, locations, and props. Reuse prior outputs as references so your hero product and talent stay recognizable from the first beat to the final moment.

FAQs

What does an animatic template for commercials mean in CinemaDrop?
In CinemaDrop, a “template” is a storyboard-driven sequence of scenes and shots you can reuse and iterate on. It helps you lock timing and visual beats first, then progressively add motion and audio. The goal is a coherent commercial animatic that’s easy to refine.
Can I start from an existing commercial script?
Yes. You can paste in your script and generate a storyboard from it, turning the written beats into a structured shot list. Then you can revise specific scenes and shots without rebuilding the entire sequence.
How do I keep the same character and product consistent across shots?
You can reuse previous outputs as references when generating new shots to reinforce continuity. CinemaDrop also supports reusable Elements for characters, locations, and props, including attaching reference images. Together, these tools help keep identity and styling stable across the animatic.
Does CinemaDrop create motion, or only still storyboards?
CinemaDrop supports generating video within the storyboard workflow. You can use text-to-video for motion, and you can also use image-to-video by selecting start and end frames from your storyboard images to guide movement. This makes it straightforward to evolve still boards into an animatic.
Can I add voiceover and music to my commercial animatic?
Yes. CinemaDrop includes text-to-speech and speech-to-speech, plus text-to-music generation, and you can attach audio to shots. You can also assign a voice to a character Element to keep dialogue performance consistent across the sequence.
What’s the difference between fast storyboarding and high-quality consistency modes?
Fast iteration is optimized for speed and lower cost while you explore ideas, but it may be less consistent from shot to shot. High-quality consistency is designed for stronger identity lock and coherence when you’re tightening the animatic. You can choose based on whether you’re brainstorming or refining.
Do I need multiple tools to build a full commercial animatic?
CinemaDrop brings script development, storyboarding, image and video generation, and audio generation into one workspace. That reduces handoffs and makes iteration faster when you need to update shots, pacing, or sound. It’s built to help you move from concept to a presentable animatic in one place.
How do model choices and credits affect commercial animatics?
CinemaDrop provides access to multiple third-party models across image, video, lip-sync, and audio, each with its own credit cost. This lets you choose faster options for exploration and higher-fidelity options for final passes. It’s a practical way to balance speed, quality, and budget while iterating.
