Boards with a director's hand on them
Most storyboard tools give you pictures; the work is making them consistent and shot-aware. DramaSo generates every frame from locked character portraits and your own 3D staging — and the demand side is real: Omdia puts the global micro-drama market around $11B in 2025, with Sensor Tower tracking overseas short-drama spending up roughly 4× in 2025. Faster boards mean more pilots tested while the window is open.
Features
Storyboard AI that starts from your script
Storyboard AI should start where stories start: the script. Paste or write one in DramaSo and every scene arrives pre-broken into shots — one line of dialogue each, with composition hints attached — so boards generate scene by scene from real structure instead of one disconnected prompt at a time.
Automatic shot breakdown
Scenes split into shots with framing hints, wardrobe notes and a global visual style already attached.
Batch the whole episode
Generate boards for every shot in one run and review the episode like a director's cut.
Boards that follow rewrites
Change a line and only that shot's frame is flagged for a redo — the rest of the board stays put.
Characters that match in frame 3 and frame 40
The fastest way to lose a reader is a lead who changes faces mid-board. DramaSo locks one portrait per character — face, wardrobe, vibe — and generates every storyboard frame against that reference, so continuity holds across scenes, episodes and sequels.
One portrait, every frame
A locked reference portrait anchors each character across the entire board.
Wardrobe that stays on
Costume and styling notes ride along with the portrait, so outfits don't drift between shots.
A cast library you reuse
Characters and sets save to an asset library and carry into your next project unchanged.
A 3D director's desk that blocks the shot for you
Instead of describing a camera angle in words, set it: place actor mannequins and props on a 3D stage, pick a camera move — static, push-in, pull-back, pan or follow — key the lighting and draw walk paths. The staged scene becomes the exact reference your storyboard frame is generated from.
Block with mannequins & props
Drag actors and set pieces into position; the geometry of your staging drives the frame.
Camera & lighting presets
Five camera moves and keyable lighting direction turn shot language into two clicks.
Every shot arrives pre-staged
Auto-staging pre-blocks each shot from the script, so you adjust a scene instead of building it.
Vertical 9:16 boards for the feeds you publish to
Storyboards inherit the frame you'll actually ship. DramaSo boards default to vertical 9:16 — the shape TikTok, Reels and Shorts reward — with widescreen and square available, and every frame flows straight into captions, dubbing and film export in the same studio.
9:16 by default
Vertical-first framing with 16:9 and 1:1 available per project.
Printable storyboard sheet
Export the board as a print-ready sheet for table reads, pitches and shoot days.
Boards become the film
The same frames drive dubbing, lip-sync and a captioned film export — no re-importing anywhere.
Beat templates keep the structure tight
A storyboard is only as strong as the story under it. DramaSo structures every episode across seven beat types — hook, setup, conflict, turn, climax, cliffhanger, resolution — ships proven trope templates, and charts an emotion curve so you spot a flat middle before you render a single frame.
Seven beat types
From hook to resolution, every shot knows which beat it serves — and boards read like a story, not a mood board.
Proven trope templates
Start from battle-tested structures — identity reveal, contract marriage, rebirth revenge and more.
Steal a hit's structure
Paste a viral drama and get its beat structure and emotion curve back as a reusable template.
