AI Idea to Video – Go beyond text! Generate consistent story scripts, characters, and scenes, all from a single concept.

From Idea to Storyboard

AI Auto-Generates Cinematic Storyboards from Your Keywords

Traditional storyboard design requires collaboration between directors and screenwriters, and beginners often struggle with "insufficient visual imagination" or "imbalanced pacing." With Filmora, all you need to do is paste keywords or a 200-word story inspiration. The AI then expands on these ideas, crafting a rich, immersive narrative with structured storytelling, dynamic characters, and engaging plotlines - bringing your vision to life effortlessly, perfectly matching short videos Golden 3-Second Rule.
  • Choose from realistic, anime, Disney-style, cyberpunk aesthetics and more to match your vision.
  • Our storyboard AI can generate complete video scripts in over 20 languages.
From Storyboard to Scenes

Bring Scenes to Life in Three Easy Ways

Option 1. Reference Image Upload

Upload any image (e.g., a sketch or photo) to use as a visual reference. AI analyzes the content and automatically generates detailed storyboards, including scene layouts, character positions, and camera angles.
Note: Upload a PNG, JPEG, JPG, or WEBP image (≤10MB, aspect ratio ≤1:4 or 4:1) as a storyboard reference.

Option 2. Start-and-End Frames to Videos

Skip manual frame-by-frame editing. Upload your starting and ending frames, and AI creates 60 smooth intermediate frames in 20 seconds (works for 2D scenes). Export a 4K video clip with built-in effects like particles or lighting - no complex software required.
  • Required: 2 images (PNG, JPEG, JPG, WEBP)
  • Resolution ratio: Better be 0.8 – 1.25 between the two frames
  • Aspect ratio: ≤ 1:4 or 4:1
  • File size: Each image ≤ 10MB

Option 3. Image-to-Video Conversion

Turn static images into dynamic videos. Upload a photo, apply effects (e.g., panning, zoom, or transitions), and AI generates a video with motion and pacing tailored to platforms like TikTok.
  • Supports image formats PNG, JPEG, JPG, WEBP with aspect ratios no greater than 1:4 or 4:1.
  • File size: Each image ≤10MB
Character Generation

Intuitively Generate Attractive Characters From Your Script's Context

Characters leap off the page. AI analyzes scripts to auto-generate personas - think no-nonsense detective or quirky inventor, then crafts avatars styled to your words: scarred rogue, neon-streaked hacker. Every smirk, every gesture bends to your story’s rhythm. No flat actors. No generic scenes. Just narratives that live, breathe, and thrill. Write the story. Watch it perform.
  • AI analyzes your story and determines the ideal number of key characters.
  • Customizable Character Styles: Prefer a specific look? Upload an image, and AI will replicate your style seamlessly.
  • AI Amateur actors with full expressiveness and customizable voice, feel deeply human.
Video Clips Management

Turn Scripts Into Polished Videos With Full Creative Control at Your Fingertips

Once your AI-generated storyboard is confirmed, Filmora automatically turns the script into video and adds the scenes to your video editing timeline for easy refinement. You have full creative control with the AI-generated clips whenever you are unsatisfied:
  • Regenerate Individual Clips: Need a different take? AI allows single-scene reprocessing without redoing the entire video.
  • Add New Video Assets: Easily import extra footage, overlays, or new media to enhance storytelling.
  • Edit & Customize: Adjust audio and visual effects to fine-tune each scene.
