Storyboard your next music video — scene by scene, with AI
From the moment a record lands to the day cameras roll, a music video lives or dies on the strength of its visuals. Storyboarding gives directors, label execs, and video commissioners one place to plan a music video shot by shot — generate stills with AI, drop in reference clips from past videos, time each scene to the song, and export a treatment or animatic the second the artist signs off.
Built for the music video pipeline
Most music video shoots compress weeks of pre-production into days. Storyboarding is built for that pace. Create chapters per song section — intro, verse 1, hook, bridge — then drop scenes into each chapter in any order. Generate a wide establishing shot with AI, paste a reference link from a Hype Williams video for the look you want, upload a styling Polaroid you took at the meeting. Each scene becomes a card with a description, notes, and a comment thread your DP can answer overnight.
AI-generated scenes, refined with reference
Most directors don't draw — and they don't have to. Type a description and Storyboarding generates a frame using Nano Banana, Google's state-of-the-art image model. Need motion to sell a transition or a camera move? Generate a 4–8 second clip with Veo 3 Fast and drop it inline. You can attach reference images so the AI matches the vibe of a director's lookbook, not generic stock.
Share with the artist, the label, and the commissioner
Send a single link. Reviewers don't need an account — they get a tokenized review URL with comment-only or view-only access, scoped to the whole storyboard or a single chapter. Every comment lives on the exact frame it's about. When the artist approves a scene, a green check shows up on the frame with their name. No more Google Doc with timestamped notes.
Export a treatment or animatic in one click
When the storyboard is final, click Export. PDF gives you a print-ready treatment with every scene, caption, and director's note in chapter order — perfect for pitching to a brand partner or attaching to a budget. MP4 gives you an animatic: every scene stitched together at the duration you set, with video clips inlined at native speed. Both formats are scoped — export the whole storyboard or just the chapter you're shooting tomorrow.
Frequently asked questions
Can I storyboard a music video without drawing skills?
Yes. Type a scene description and Storyboarding generates a frame with AI. You can attach reference images to match a director's lookbook, or upload Polaroids and screenshots from your phone. No drawing required.
How long does a music video storyboard take?
Most directors finish a 12–20 scene storyboard in under an hour using AI generation, then iterate based on artist feedback. The bottleneck is decisions, not drawing time.
Can the artist comment without an account?
Yes. Generate a share link from any storyboard or chapter. The artist gets a URL that lets them comment on individual scenes without signing up — no email gate, no account creation.
What can I export when the storyboard is approved?
PDF treatment (print-ready, every scene with notes) or MP4 animatic (scenes stitched at your timing). Both work for the whole storyboard or per chapter, so you can hand the DP only the day's scenes.
Does it work for label-side commissioners and creative directors?
Yes. Invite team members to a project — A&R, creative directors, brand partners, and external stylists can all comment, approve scenes, and export final treatments without touching the editor.
