Plan and visualize your stories with AI-generated storyboards — consistent characters across shots, professional camera angles, and a node-based editor for complete creative control.
Storyboarding is the process of visualizing a narrative sequence — planning each shot of a film, video, commercial, or comic before production begins. Traditional storyboarding requires an artist to sketch each frame, which is slow and expensive. AI storyboarding generates each frame as a fully rendered image, dramatically accelerating the pre-visualization process.
Apefx takes AI storyboarding further than any other platform. With a dedicated storyboard editor, the MultiShot Master model for multi-shot narrative video, and character profiles for consistency, you can plan an entire visual story in minutes.
The storyboard editor uses a visual, node-based interface where each shot is a node. Connect shots to define sequence, add text descriptions, specify camera angles and shot types, and generate each frame with AI. Rearrange shots by dragging nodes. Add transitions and notes.
Specify professional cinematography shot types for each frame:
The storyboard editor integrates with character profiles. Define your characters once, then every shot automatically uses the same character references. Your protagonist looks the same in shot 1 and shot 30.
The MultiShot Master model can generate multi-shot narrative video directly from your storyboard — up to 30 seconds of video with character consistency across shots and different camera angles. This is the closest thing to automated filmmaking available today.
Directors and DPs use storyboards to plan every shot before the camera rolls. AI storyboarding generates fully rendered frames in minutes, communicating visual intent far more effectively than rough sketches. Share with your production team, investors, or clients to align on the creative vision.
Ad agencies storyboard commercials to get client approval before production. AI storyboarding produces client-ready pre-visualization at a fraction of the cost. Generate multiple creative directions and let the client choose before committing production resources.
Content creators use storyboards to plan video content — sketching thumbnails, shot sequences, and key moments. AI storyboarding turns content planning into a visual process that improves the quality of the final video.
Plan comic page layouts with AI-generated panels. Use character profiles for consistency across the entire story. The storyboard editor’s node-based interface maps naturally to comic panel sequences.
Create visual training sequences and educational content. Storyboard safety procedures, process workflows, or instructional sequences with clear, consistent visuals.
Create character profiles for the main characters in your story. Generate reference images showing each character from multiple angles.
For each shot in your storyboard, write a description that includes: the action, camera angle, shot type, lighting, and any important visual details. You can start with a script and break it down into shots.
Open the storyboard editor, create nodes for each shot, and generate frames using your preferred image model. Characters from your profiles are automatically maintained across frames.
Arrange shots in sequence, add transitions and notes, and regenerate any frames that need adjustment. The node-based interface makes rearranging shots easy.
When your storyboard is finalized, use MultiShot Master to generate a multi-shot video with character consistency across all shots — up to 30 seconds of narrative video in a single generation. Read our detailed storyboard tutorial.
Visualize your story with AI
Node-based editor. Character consistency. MultiShot video generation.
Open Storyboard Editor →Storyboard features are available on Creator ($12/mo) and above. Frame generation uses the same credit system as image generation:
A 9-shot storyboard with Flux Pro frames costs approximately 45 credits (~$0.45). Generating the MultiShot video adds 50+ credits. Full pricing details.
An AI storyboard is a sequence of AI-generated images that visualize a narrative — each frame representing a different shot or scene, with consistent characters and intentional camera angles. It replaces hand-drawn storyboard sketches with fully rendered frames.
Yes. Apefx’s character profiles and Nano Banana Pro’s native consistency capabilities ensure characters look the same across all frames. MultiShot Master specifically maintains consistency across multi-shot video. Learn more in our consistency guide.
The storyboard editor adds narrative structure: shot sequencing, camera angle specification, node-based arrangement, and MultiShot Master video generation. Individual images are disconnected; storyboards tell a coherent visual story.
Yes. Export storyboard frames as individual images or as a compiled storyboard document. MultiShot Master video exports as standard video files suitable for any editing software.
No. The editor provides shot type presets with descriptions, so you can select “close-up” or “establishing shot” without knowing cinematography terminology. However, filmmakers will appreciate the professional shot type system and camera angle controls.
