Do I need to know how to draw?

No. You describe the scene in plain language and Glif generates the frames. The more specific you are about shot type, character positions, and mood, the better the output — but you don't need any illustration skills.

Can I keep characters consistent across frames?

Yes. Start with the [One-Shot Character Reference Sheet](https://glif.app/chat/cards/one-shot-character-reference-sheet--LsFE87oa) card to lock in your character's look, then reference it in each subsequent frame prompt. Glif keeps the design consistent across the whole storyboard.

What formats can I export?

Individual frames download as high-resolution images. You can export each shot separately and compile them in any editing or presentation tool — Premiere, After Effects, Google Slides, Notion, whatever your production workflow uses.

Is this useful for game pre-production?

Yes. The [Gameplay Rapid Prototyping](https://glif.app/chat/cards/gameplay-rapid-prototyping--ctgQHf3H) card is built specifically for game teams — sketch out cutscenes, level sequences, and UI concepts fast without pulling a full art team. Good for pitches, GDDs, and early direction-setting.

Can I turn storyboard frames into video?

Yes. Once you have your frames, you can continue in the same chat and ask Glif to animate them into a video sequence. Go from static storyboard to rough animatic without leaving the chat.

How much does it cost to generate a storyboard?

Most storyboards cost a fraction of what you'd pay a pre-viz artist or illustrator. You can start for free and generate your first frames without a credit card. See the [pricing page](/pricing) for full details on plans and credits.

Who uses AI storyboards?

Indie filmmakers planning shots before a shoot. Game teams sketching cutscenes and UI flows. Animators working out timing before committing to full renders. Ad agencies presenting campaign concepts to clients. Comic creators blocking out page layouts. Anyone who needs to communicate a visual sequence before production starts.

What is AI storyboarding?

A storyboard is the step between idea and production. It's how directors communicate shots to a crew, how game teams align on a sequence before building it, how animators plan a scene before rendering a single frame. Traditionally that meant hiring an illustrator or a pre-viz team — expensive, slow, and hard to revise.

Glif generates full storyboards from a prompt or script. Describe the scene, the characters, the tone. Get shot-by-shot frames with consistent character design and staging across the whole sequence. Need to revise a shot? Describe the change. Want a different style — cinematic, anime, graphic novel? Say so.

Start with a character reference sheet so every frame stays on-model, then move into rapid scene prototyping to sketch out the full sequence. From a one-page script to a 60-frame animatic, the whole workflow happens in one chat.

How it works

Three steps from script to storyboard

Step 1 — Describe your scene or upload a script

Type a scene description, paste in a script, or describe your characters. Include the tone, style, and number of frames you need.

Step 2 — Get frame-by-frame visuals

Glif generates each shot with consistent characters, staging, and scene continuity. Revise individual frames or the whole sequence with follow-up prompts.

Step 3 — Download or continue into video

Export your frames for pitch decks, production packages, or hand-off to your team. Or keep going — turn frames into a full animatic or video sequence in the same chat.
