Alchemys

Alchemys Storyboard suits creators who want to plan a sequence and carry it through to generated clips in one web workspace. Its main appeal is the connection between shot planning, frame continuity and film assembly; the trade-off is credit-based generation.

Overview

Storyboard brings planning, image and clip generation, and export into a single workflow. AI can turn a project brief into a numbered shot list, which users can add to an existing board or use in its place. That is a useful starting point for a new sequence, while users who already have a shot plan can work directly with prompts describing camera movement, lighting and action.

The workspace requires sign-in and shares its credits, model catalogue and file library with Alchemys Studio. New accounts receive 1,000 free credits at first sign-in, but AI use draws on that balance according to the model and workload. The free allowance is therefore a way to begin, not a predictable amount of production capacity.

Key features

Planning and continuity

Storyboard supports script import, shot sequencing and annotations. A shot’s last frame can serve as the next shot’s first frame, either for individual links or across the board. This is useful when a sequence depends on visual carry-through; for collections of unrelated shots, the continuity controls matter less.

References and canvas

Users can upload reference images, choose them from Studio files or use images from connected Google Drive. A reference can serve as a first frame, last frame or general reference. The list view keeps a sequence legible as a shot list, while the node-based Canvas lets users drag frame links to shape connections visually.

Generation and export

A cinematic prompting guide helps refine descriptions of movement, lighting and action. Project settings allow 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4 aspect ratios, with 480p, 720p or 1080p resolution; shot length is adjustable and defaults to five seconds. These options cover common formats and resolutions, though generation consumes credits. Once clips are ready, users can assemble them into one film or download them individually.

Pricing

Free starter credits: free. New users receive 1,000 credits at first sign-in, and AI usage consumes credits based on the selected model and workload. This is best for exploring the workflow or making a limited start; users planning sustained generation should expect the free balance to run down. No other plan price is available to recommend, so users who need more capacity should check Alchemys for custom pricing.

Platforms

Storyboard runs on the web. Google Drive can provide reference images when connected, and the broader Alchemys workspace also offers OAuth connections for Gmail, Notion, Outlook and GitHub. Those wider connections should not be confused with additional Storyboard platforms.

Who it's for

Storyboard is a strong fit for creators who want to move from a brief or script to sequenced shots, preserve continuity between frames and assemble generated clips. Its adjustable output settings and reference-frame choices help when a project has a defined format or visual reference. It is less compelling for users who only need a simple storyboard or who need a reliable production quota: the free credits are workload-dependent, and sign-in is required.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Brief-to-shot-list planning, script import and annotations support work from an initial idea through shot sequencing.
• Pros: Passing last frames forward, reference-frame options and a node-based Canvas give creators specific controls over continuity.
• Pros: Film assembly and individual clip downloads make the workspace useful beyond planning.
• Cons: The 1,000-credit starter balance has no fixed workload value because consumption depends on model and use.
• Cons: Sign-in is required, and the web platform may not suit users seeking a desktop workflow.

Alternatives

For a broader set of options, browse AI Storyboard Generators. Consider Cygnus if you want a macOS option alongside web access and a free plan with 200 monthly credits, two projects and watermarked 720p exports. Krock.io is another choice, with a free plan that allows one user, two projects, 2 GB of storage and 50 AI tokens, plus desktop and extension platforms. For a web-based free option, Boords offers a single-user plan with 250 AI images per month and unlimited storyboards and scripts.

CinemaScape AI may suit users looking for a free web plan with two projects and ten one-time storyboard generations. Drawstory is another web alternative. GOGUL has a free one-time 100-credit balance, capped at eight frames per storyboard, one character and one video model, without ZIP, HD ZIP or PDF export. LTX Studio is worth considering for its free web plan with 800 one-time credits. Shai offers free access to the first nine storyboard scenes and 200 credits for image creation and editing, while AI video is premium-only.

Verdict

Choose Alchemys Storyboard if you want shot planning, frame continuity and clip assembly in a single web workflow. Its strongest case is the way it connects those stages, from brief to export. Look elsewhere if you need a known ongoing generation allowance or a non-web platform: the free credits are variable in practical reach, and the product is web-based.
