AI storyboard generator: plan the shots, then generate the sequence

The problem: rolling the dice on video

Prompting video shot by shot and hoping they match is expensive. Every miss is a paid clip, and a multi-shot piece multiplies the misses: the face drifts, the jacket changes color, the set moves. You end up paying for takes you throw away.

A storyboard fixes that the way it always has on real productions: decide the shots first, then shoot them. In Asset Lab a still costs about 12¢, so getting the picture right as a still is the cheapest place to make changes.

How Asset Lab's storyboard works

1. Cast. Save your characters and a location once. Details you write on a character (hair, clothes, accessories) override the photo; the face always comes from the photo.
2. Plan the shots. In Director's "The story," pick the characters, the location and any featured objects, write a brief and choose a shot count. Plan shots writes the shot list (framing, angle, action, the line and who says it, and what each shot hands to the next) for about 2¢.
3. Draw the stills. Each shot gets a Scene Still Frame drawn from the characters actually in it, plus the scene's first approved still and the one before it, so faces, wardrobe, set and grade hold across the board. About 12¢ a still at 2K. Generate All does the board in order; every version is kept, and an approved still is never overwritten.
4. Review and share. View the approved stills as a contact sheet or a production board, with description, framing, location and duration per frame, and export it as a PNG or PDF.

From storyboard to finished sequence

Once the board is approved, there are two routes to video:

• Shot by shot. Each approved still becomes the opening frame of its shot, on any video model you choose, from budget tiers to Seedance 2.5.
• Whole board → Seedance. The sheet goes as one reference for a single multi-shot draft, about 30¢ a second at 720p. It's a fast way to see the whole scene move.

Then finish in Director: approve a take per shot (up to sixteen), give each character their own voice or use one narrator, lay music, set the mix, pick transitions and fades, and export one cut to your gallery and disk.

Inside DaVinci Resolve

In AssetLab Resolve, the same storyboard stage docks beside your timeline in Resolve Free or Studio, Mac or Linux. With Auto-drop on, stills and takes stay in the Asset Lab gallery and only the exported cut lands on the timeline, so your edit doesn't fill up with drafts. A Premiere Pro edition with the same stage is in beta.
