About this tool
The gap between a script and a finished faceless video is the storyboard: which visual covers which line, for how long. This generator does the mechanical half of that job perfectly — it groups your sentences into scenes of roughly eight seconds of narration (the rhythm most documentary-style channels cut at), times each scene from its word count at natural speaking pace, and writes a matching visual prompt for each one.
Take the prompts into whichever free image or video generator you use and your production becomes an assembly line: scene 1's prompt makes scene 1's visual, and the table tells your editor exactly where each clip sits against the voiceover. Creators who storyboard this way typically cut their editing time in half, because no decision is left for the timeline.
How to use it
- Paste the final script — storyboard from the locked version, not a draft, or your timings will drift.
- Generate the table and skim the scene durations; any scene over ~12 seconds needs two visuals in the edit.
- Copy each visual prompt into your free AI image/video tool of choice and generate scene by scene.
- Assemble in order; the table's running order is your edit's running order.
Tips from real creator workflows
- Rewrite a scene's prompt by hand when the auto-prompt is too literal — add camera language ('slow push-in', 'aerial') and lighting for a cinematic feel.
- Keep one style phrase constant in every prompt you refine ('photorealistic, cinematic teal light') — consistency is what makes AI visuals feel like one film.
- Generate two options for the opening scene only; the first 5 seconds deserve the choice.
Frequently asked questions
How are scene durations calculated?
From word count at a natural narration pace (~155 words per minute for measured documentary delivery), grouped to land near 8 seconds per scene.
What do I do with the visual prompts?
Paste them into any free AI image or video generator — the prompts are plain text and tool-agnostic by design.
Can I export the storyboard?
Yes, the Copy storyboard button copies the full scene list as text that pastes into a document or spreadsheet.
