FAQs

What makes CinemaDrop an online pre production planning tool?
CinemaDrop organizes pre-production around a storyboard and a sequence of shots, helping you plan visually from the start. It brings story development, storyboarding, and generation of images, video, and audio into one flow. The focus is faster iteration without losing narrative clarity.
Do I need a finished script to begin?
No. You can start from a simple premise and build toward a script, then move into storyboarding when you’re ready. If you already have a script, you can use it as your starting point and begin planning shots right away.
How do you maintain the same character across multiple scenes?
CinemaDrop supports continuity by letting you reuse previous outputs as references when generating new shots. Elements give you reusable anchors for characters, locations, props, and other story components that you reference throughout a storyboard. Adding stronger, more specific references typically improves consistency.
Are there different options for storyboard generation quality?
Yes. CinemaDrop offers multiple approaches so you can choose speed for early exploration or prioritize stronger consistency when you’re locking in character identity and look. This helps you iterate quickly first, then refine when the plan is solid.
What are my options for turning storyboard frames into video?
You can generate video from text prompts, and you can also create image-to-video transitions using selected start and end frames from your storyboard. This makes it easier to preview motion and flow while staying grounded in your planned shots. Video results live alongside the related shots in your sequence.
How can I refine an image or video without starting over?
CinemaDrop supports text-based edits where you describe the changes you want for images and video. This is useful for tightening continuity, improving composition, or matching a desired tone across the sequence. When available, quality and resolution enhancements can help you push key frames further.
Can I include dialogue voices and music during planning?
Yes. CinemaDrop includes tools to generate voices and music that you can attach to shots, along with sound effects for emphasis. You can also assign a voice to a character Element so the same character sounds consistent across scenes. This helps stakeholders feel timing, tone, and emotion earlier in the process.
