What Storyboarder.ai is

Storyboarder.ai is a web-based AI pre-production platform that turns scripts and ideas into screenplays, shot lists, storyboards, and animatics. It accepts scripts in PDF, FDX, Fountain, Word, and plain text, and can import shot lists from Excel. Its AI is described as keeping character, location, and prop appearances consistent across storyboard frames. A 3D camera tool lets users orbit, pan, tilt, and zoom a scene to adjust framing. Shot lists and storyboards can be exported as PDF, animatics as MP4, and storyboards as pitch decks. Video 2.0 supports clips up to 15 seconds, and Multi-Cut sequences include built-in audio. The product is presented for feature films, commercials, animation, short films, corporate content, and documentaries. Storyboarder.ai says customer scripts, storyboards, inputs, and outputs are not used to train AI models under contractual terms with model providers. Its Trust Center lists GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and SOC 2 Type 2 materials. Enterprise information specifies default hosting in AWS us-west-2, a 99.9% uptime SLA, a dedicated account manager, Slack Connect, and priority support. The parent company is The FilmAI GmbH in Dortmund, Germany; its co-founders are Dustin Steinkühler and Zeyd Taha Candan.
