Most “storyboard makers” are either clip-art comics or one-shot image generators. CineoBoard is a maker in the original sense: you make a board a crew can shoot.
Make a board in four moves
The live demo is that loop on a coffee commercial. For the longer craft version, use how to make a storyboard.
- Paste or import a script (Fountain / Final Draft)
- Split beats; get one frame each
- Block, reuse elements, write shot data
- Play the animatic, send a review link, export PDF / MP4 / CSV
Maker vs generator vs suite
CineoBoard will not pretend to be the other three. It will keep your frames editable after the first pass, which is the actual job of a maker.
| You need | Use |
|---|---|
| Classroom comic panels | Storyboard That, StoryTribe |
| A first-pass image from a prompt | An AI generator |
| Call sheets and schedules | StudioBinder |
| A production board with a list and an animatic | CineoBoard |
Templates
Blank pages slow teams down. Start from a storyboard template (8, 12 or 16 panels with shot footers) or a shot list template.
FAQ
Is there a free storyboard maker?
Yes: Wonder Unit Storyboarder (desktop drawing) and several classroom tools. They are free because they do not include the production layer. CineoBoard’s demo is free to try; production use starts at $30/month.
Can I use CineoBoard as an online storyboard maker without installing anything?
Yes. The cloud workspace runs in the browser. Reframe is the optional local-first desktop app for drawing and playback with the network off.
