Six-panel black-and-white AI storyboard sheet with shot labels for an original short film

AI Storyboard Generator

Plan your film shot by shot — then turn the boards into video.

How do I make a storyboard with AI?

Describe each shot — framing, action, and camera move — then generate the frames as images on Nano Banana Pro or GPT Image 2 in Renoise Canvas. Lay the panels out as a sheet (wide, close-up, pan), keep one consistent look across them, and use each finished board as the reference for generating that shot as video.

Storyboards, at a glance

What a board session looks like in Renoise.

Any shot count

Lay out a 3-, 6-, or 9-panel sheet — wide, close-up, and pan in one sequence.

Real camera language

Prompt framing and moves — wide shot, CU, dolly, pan — straight into each frame.

Boards to video

Each board becomes the reference shot for Seedance 2.0 video in the same canvas.

Board a sequence in 3 steps

From a shot list to moving footage, all in one canvas.

  1. Writing a shot list as nodes on the Renoise Canvas to start an AI storyboard
    Step 1

    Write the shots

    Drop a shot per node — "wide establishing, dawn rooftop" / "CU on the runner, breathing hard".

  2. Selecting GPT Image 2 to generate storyboard frames in the Renoise Canvas model bar
    Step 2

    Generate the frames

    Pick GPT Image 2 from the model bar and render each shot as a panel; keep one style across them.

  3. Selecting Seedance 2.0 to turn a storyboard frame into video in Renoise Canvas
    Step 3

    Animate boards

    Switch to Seedance 2.0, feed a board as the reference, and generate the shot as 1080p video.

From boards to shots

Plan the sequence as frames, then carry the same look into the generated footage.

Which model for storyboard frames

Both image models live in the same Renoise canvas — pick by what the board needs. Nano Banana Pro for clean line-art panels and crisp shot labels, GPT Image 2 when you need to fuse references or follow a detailed, instruction-heavy brief.

From storyboard to finished shots in Renoise

A storyboard is a shot-by-shot plan, not a finished film — each panel fixes one decision before the camera rolls: the framing (wide establishing, medium, close-up), the staging, and the camera move (a pan, a push-in, a tracking dolly). Spell those out in the prompt for every frame — "wide low-angle, dawn light, character entering frame left" — and you get a board that reads like a real shot list instead of disconnected illustrations. Keep one style line across panels ("flat black-and-white storyboard, marker shading") so the sequence holds together.

Where most AI storyboard tools stop at the drawing, Renoise keeps the boards in the same Canvas as the video models — so a panel is not a dead end, it is the reference for the shot. Once a board is right, switch to Seedance 2.0, feed the frame as a reference, and generate that beat as 1080p video up to 15 seconds; the framing and look you planned carry through. For sequences that need several cuts from one prompt, Kling 3.0 Omni supports multi-shot output of up to six shots, so a boarded beat can come back as a short edited run rather than a single clip. That board-to-shot loop — plan in images, generate in video, all in one canvas — is the part a general image model can not do for you.

Renoise capabilities used

Boarding a sequence leans on a few things — Renoise gives you the image models, the video models, and the canvas that links them.

Nano Banana Pro

Renders clean storyboard panels with legible shot labels and consistent line work.

Seedance 2.0

Turns a finished board into a 1080p video shot using the frame as reference.

One canvas

Image frames and video shots share a node graph, so a board flows straight into footage.

Multi-shot sequences

Kling 3.0 Omni outputs up to six shots, turning one boarded beat into an edited run.

Frequently asked questions

1.What is an AI storyboard generator?

It is a tool that turns a written shot list into storyboard frames. In Renoise you describe each shot — framing, action, camera move — and an image model like Nano Banana Pro or GPT Image 2 renders the panels in Canvas.

2.How do I keep one look across panels?

Reuse the same style line in every prompt — for example "flat black-and-white storyboard, marker shading" — and keep your character description verbatim. Generating all frames on one model in the same canvas keeps the sequence consistent.

3.Can I turn a storyboard into video?

Yes — that is the point of doing it in Renoise. Once a board looks right, switch to Seedance 2.0, feed the frame as a reference, and generate that shot as video. The framing and look you planned carry into the footage.

4.How long can the generated shots be?

Seedance 2.0 generates shots from 4 to 15 seconds at up to 1080p. Storyboard a beat per panel, then generate each as its own clip so a full sequence is a string of short, planned shots.

5.Can one prompt make several shots?

Kling 3.0 Omni supports multi-shot output of up to six shots, so a single boarded beat can come back as a short edited run instead of one clip. For single, controlled shots, Seedance 2.0 is the default.

6.Which model is best for storyboard frames?

Nano Banana Pro for clean panels and legible shot labels; GPT Image 2 when you need to fuse reference images or follow a detailed brief. Both export up to 4K and live in the same canvas, so you can switch per frame.

7.Do I write camera moves in the prompt?

Yes. Spell out framing and movement per frame — "wide establishing", "CU", "slow push-in", "tracking pan". The board captures the intent, and the same cues guide the video model when you generate the shot.

8.Can I storyboard an ad or music video?

Yes. The workflow is the same for films, ads, and music videos — board the beats as frames, set ratios per platform, then generate each shot. For music videos, see the dedicated guide for the full edit flow.
