Storyboard App for iPad for Story-First Filmmaking

  • Story First Workflow

    Develop the story, map the shots, then add motion and audio when you’re ready to produce.

  • Built For Continuity

    Reuse references and Elements to keep identity and world details consistent across scenes.

  • All In One Studio

    Create images, video, voice, music, and sound effects in a single connected workspace.

From Concept to Shot List

Begin with a simple premise and develop it into characters, a synopsis, an outline, and a full script using CinemaDrop’s guided Script Wizard. Then transform the script into a clear, shot-by-shot storyboard so you can evaluate pacing, coverage, and intent before committing to final renders. It’s a practical way to use a storyboard app for iPad to iterate on the story while changes are still easy.

Continuity You Can Trust

Continuity You Can Trust

Keep characters, locations, and props cohesive by generating new shots with references from prior frames. Create reusable Elements for core characters and settings, then build coverage by changing angles and composition while staying anchored to the same world. Your storyboard reads like one film, not a patchwork of inconsistent images.

Boards That Become Footage

Turn storyboard frames into motion with text-to-video, or animate between a chosen start and end frame using image-to-video transitions. Make targeted adjustments with text-based edits, and upscale when higher quality is available without restarting the creative direction. It’s a smooth path from planning to polished clips that still match your storyboard app for iPad sequence.

Sound That Stays In Sync

Sound That Stays In Sync

Add dialogue with text-to-speech and keep performances consistent by attaching a voice to a character Element. Generate music from a description, choose instrumental moods, and layer sound effects so each beat lands with intention. Because audio is tied to your storyboard sequence, continuity holds as you build scene by scene.

FAQs

What makes CinemaDrop a storyboard app for iPad creators?
CinemaDrop centers your workflow on story and shot planning, then lets you generate images, video, and audio inside the same project. Each shot stays connected to the script and storyboard sequence, so revisions don’t break your structure. This makes iteration faster while preserving continuity across scenes.
Can I start from a rough idea or do I need a finished script?
You can start either way. If you only have a premise, the Script Wizard helps you develop characters, a synopsis, an outline, and a full script. If you already have a script, you can bring it in and convert it into a storyboard.
How does CinemaDrop help keep characters consistent across shots?
CinemaDrop supports using previous generations as references when creating new shots. You can also define reusable Elements—such as characters, locations, and props—and attach reference images to strengthen identity lock. This reference-driven approach helps maintain a cohesive look across a multi-shot storyboard.
Is there a tradeoff between speed and consistency when generating shots?
Yes. CinemaDrop includes faster, lower-cost options for quick iteration that may reduce consistency or overall quality. It also offers a slower high-quality consistency option designed to better preserve character identity and reliability. Many creators iterate quickly first, then switch to higher-consistency settings for finals.
How do I turn storyboard frames into video inside CinemaDrop?
You can create video from text prompts, or generate motion by transitioning between a selected start frame and end frame from your storyboard. This helps you keep movement grounded in your established visuals and shot intent. You can then refine results with text-based edits and upscale when available.
Can I keep the same voice for a character across multiple scenes?
Yes. CinemaDrop supports text-to-speech and lets you attach a voice to a character Element so that voice stays consistent across scenes. It also supports speech-to-speech if you want to transform uploaded audio using a selected voice. This helps maintain performance continuity alongside visual continuity.
How does pricing work when generating images, video, and audio?
CinemaDrop provides access to multiple third-party models for image, video, lip-sync, and audio, and each model can have its own credit cost. This lets you choose faster or higher-quality options depending on the shot and your budget. Because everything is in one workspace, you can switch models without losing your storyboard flow.
