SCRIPT / SHOT WORKSPACE
Break a short-form, ad, or narrative script into editable shot cards.
Paste content and choose a shot count.
Breaking down shots
Reading story beats, visual actions, and camera relationships.
Narrative problems usually exist at the structural layer, yet you often discover them only after the visuals are finished. A storyboard's value is exposing sequence and pacing early: one image, one line of narration, and one transition per frame, read end to end so the break reveals itself immediately. Revising frames costs a fraction of revising a finished cut.
When the order is already settled and only execution remains, go straight to building, because an extra layer is waste. When the narrative still needs several arrangements tried, or you have to convince someone the order works, laying it out as frames costs far less than rebuilding visuals repeatedly.
SCRIPT TO SHOT PLAN
AiCanvasly breaks a script into 6-12 editable shot cards. Each card keeps the decisions a director, cinematographer, editor, or generative-visual workflow needs, while image prompts remain clearly labeled as text.
Enter a short-form, ad, presenter, or narrative script. The source remains available after a failed request.
Select 6, 8, 10, or 12 shots. Eight is the default working density.
AI identifies story beats, visible actions, spoken information, and camera relationships.
Revise every field, add or remove shots, drag to reorder, or regenerate one card only.
The draft is saved in this browser and exports as a complete Shot List CSV.
You do not need professional shot notation, but the script should make who does what, where, what is said, and roughly how long it lasts as clear as possible.
Use “picks up the cup, pauses at the door, looks to camera” instead of an abstract feeling the camera cannot see.
Label voice-over, character dialogue, and off-screen lines so speech is not mistaken for visual action.
Call out the hook, turn, product reveal, and closing frame so shots are distributed deliberately.
Location, cast, props, orientation, and total runtime all change which shot plan is practical.
This page describes only behavior that is implemented and testable today.
Choose a target of 6, 8, 10, or 12 shots, then add, remove, or reorder cards after generation.
Yes. Scene, visual description, shot size and angle, camera movement, dialogue, duration, and image prompt are all editable.
No. The current version produces visual descriptions and image prompts as text and does not present generated frames.
The CSV includes shot order, the storyboard title, and all seven production fields for every card.
