Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered
There are many storyboard apps out there. Some are free with limited functionality, and others, like StudioBinder, offer a thorough professional storyboard program that is intuitive and built for modern productions.
Yes, ChatGPT can generate storyboards. You'll want to tailor your prompt to specifically ask for storyboards if you're looking for a more traditional look and style.
Yes, most AI image generators can create storyboard images. Some might even be able to assemble the images into a standard storyboard format, but that might be too difficult to describe in a prompt. You might be better off using the program to generate the individual images, and then you can use dedicated storyboarding software like StudioBinder to help assemble, annotate, export, and share it.
Some common mistakes to avoid while storyboarding include making the image unclear, storyboarding out of order, adding too much text or annotations to the image, and adding dialogue.
Yes, you can make a storyboard without drawing using photos, repurposed images, or AI image generators instead.
There are a few things a storyboard should not include: dialogue, too many annotations, unnecessary frames, and large jumps in continuity.
If you can't draw, it is still very easy to make a storyboard. Take original photos using stand-ins, repurpose images from existing projects, or use AI image generators to populate your storyboard.
