Draft Fast Then Lock the Look

Start with a faster, lower-cost storyboard option when you’re exploring ideas and blocking coverage. When you’re ready to finalize the visual direction, switch to a slower high-quality consistency approach for stronger identity and steadier continuity. You can move from rough planning to more polished shots without restarting your sequence.

FAQs

Can I use this Shot List Generator From Screenplay with a script I already wrote?
Yes. Paste your existing screenplay into CinemaDrop to generate a storyboard sequence from it. That sequence acts as a practical shot list you can review and refine shot by shot.
What if I only have an idea, not a completed screenplay?
You can start with the Script Wizard, which helps you develop characters, a synopsis, an outline, and a full script. Once you have a script draft, you can generate the storyboard sequence and shape it into a shot list.
How does CinemaDrop help keep characters consistent across the shot list?
You can reuse previous outputs as references when generating new shots to preserve identity and style. Elements let you save reusable characters, locations, and props, and attach reference images to strengthen continuity across scenes.
Do you offer a faster mode for early drafts and a higher-quality option for finals?
Yes. There’s a faster option designed for speed and cost while you explore coverage and pacing, and a slower high-quality consistency option when you want stronger identity lock. This makes it easier to iterate early and tighten continuity later.
Can my shot list turn into actual video shots?
Yes. You can generate video from text prompts, or create image-to-video using chosen start and end frames from your storyboard. That way, your planned shots can evolve into motion while staying tied to the sequence.
Can I add dialogue, voice, music, and sound effects for each shot?
Yes. CinemaDrop supports text-to-speech, speech-to-speech, and text-to-music, and you can add sound effects to shots. You can also give a Character Element a voice to help keep performances consistent across the sequence.
How can I refine one shot without rebuilding the whole sequence?
You can use text-based editing for images and video to request specific changes to a shot while keeping the intent intact. When available, upscaling can improve quality and resolution without redoing the concept from scratch.
