Smart Storyboard: Turn a Script into a Storyboard in One Click, with Shot Sizes and Durations Planned
Date Published
Between a finished script and the first day of shooting sits a storyboard: how long each shot runs, what shot size it uses, and what the frame shows. Building one by hand means endless trade-offs. Smart Storyboard generates a complete storyboard from the script's meaning automatically, turning your job from "building the sheet from scratch" into "reviewing and fine-tuning."
Comment ça marche
Paste the script
Paste your finished script (or an AI-generated one) into Smart Storyboard; full-length voiceover scripts and multi-segment storyboard drafts both work.
AI splits the shots automatically
AI splits shots according to content rhythm, generating each shot's name, suggested duration, shot size, and visual description.
Fine-tune, then start editing
Adjust individual shot durations and descriptions, confirm, then import into the editing timeline and line everything up with footage and voiceover.

Promo Teams: Storyboard Out the Same Day as the Script, Cameras Rolling the Next
Best for: Corporate promos, product films, commercials · A standardized script-to-shoot workflow
Workflow: Script finalized → Smart Storyboard → Director reviews and tweaks → Shoot to the sheet
Storyboard ready the same day · Shot sizes and durations with rationale · The sheet goes straight into production
The biggest drag in promo production is the script waiting on the storyboard. Smart Storyboard compresses that step to minutes, so the director spends time refining instead of formatting.
What the Generated Storyboard Contains
The output is not a simple split but an executable basis for shooting or generation:
Shot names and durations
Every shot gets a clear name and a suggested number of seconds, with the total duration automatically summed against your target.
Shot size suggestions
Wide, medium, and close-up choices follow the content rhythm — no agonizing over every shot.
Visual descriptions
What each frame should show is spelled out, ready for live shooting or AI generation.
Voiceover and subtitle copy
The copy for each shot is laid out in sync, so voiceover and subtitles align in one step.
Once confirmed, the storyboard becomes the team's single source of truth downstream, cutting down miscommunication.

Storyboarding from hours to minutes
AI produces the first draft and people only review and fine-tune — pre-production speeds up dramatically.
Beginners can build professional storyboards
AI backs up shot sizes and pacing, so you no longer depend on senior experience.
Seamless handoff to generation and editing
Import the storyboard directly into AI Film Generation or the editing timeline — no retyping.
Questions fréquentes
What script formats are supported?
Full-length voiceover scripts and segmented storyboard drafts both work; AI splits the shots automatically by meaning.
Can the generated durations and shot sizes be edited?
Yes — every field is manually adjustable; AI only provides the first-draft suggestions.
Can the total duration be kept within a target range?
Shot splitting sums against your target duration; fine-tune each shot's seconds for exact alignment.
Can the storyboard be exported?
Export a shot list for the team to execute, or import it directly into your editing workflow.
How does it relate to AI script generation?
AI script generation writes the script; Smart Storyboard breaks it into an executable shot list — the two connect as upstream and downstream steps.
Does it work for my video type (talking-head, promo, vlog)?
Structured formats like talking-head videos, promos, and short-form drama benefit most; purely documentary work gets limited value.
