Keep Characters Consistent

Continuity is what makes an animatic feel like a real cut, not a collage. CinemaDrop supports consistency by letting you reuse prior outputs as references across the sequence. Use Elements for characters, locations, and props to keep identity and style coherent from shot to shot.

Add Voice And Sound

Bring your boards to life by pairing each shot with dialogue, performance, music, and sound design. Use text-to-speech with a selected voice, or speech-to-speech to reshape an uploaded read into quick variations. Hearing the scene helps you judge tone, rhythm, and emotional beats while visuals stay flexible.

FAQs

What does it mean to turn a storyboard into an animatic?
It means taking storyboard panels and assembling a timed sequence that communicates pacing, beats, and shot flow. With CinemaDrop, you can turn storyboard shots into video and add audio so it plays like a rough cut. That makes it easier to spot what to change before you finalize assets.
Can I start from a script and still build an animatic?
Yes. Paste your script to generate a storyboard, then use those shots as the foundation of your animatic. From there, you can generate motion and attach audio per shot to test timing and performance.
How can I keep the same character consistent across shots?
CinemaDrop helps maintain continuity by letting you reuse previous generated outputs as references when creating new shots. You can also create Elements for characters, locations, and props and apply them across scenes. Adding more reference images to an Element typically improves consistency.
Do I need to animate everything manually to get motion?
No. You can generate video directly from text for a shot, or create motion that transitions between a chosen start frame and end frame from your storyboard images. This gives you structured movement that stays anchored to your planned visuals.
Can I add dialogue, music, and sound effects to the animatic?
Yes. CinemaDrop supports text-to-speech with voice selection, plus speech-to-speech to transform an uploaded recording. You can also generate music from a text description and add sound effects to help audition the scene’s overall feel.
What if a shot is almost right but needs small fixes?
You can use text-based editing for both images and video by describing the changes you want. This is useful for adjusting framing, tone, or details while preserving the underlying shot idea. It helps you iterate without rebuilding your entire sequence.
Is there a fast way to rough out an animatic and a higher-quality option later?
Yes. CinemaDrop includes a faster storyboard option optimized for speed and cost, which is ideal for early exploration. When you’re ready to lock stronger identity and more dependable results, you can switch to a slower high-quality consistency option for refined shots.
