AI Storyboard Generator

Storyboard the scenes that matter without flattening the script.

Halcyon turns selected scenes into directed visual references while keeping the screenplay, characters, lore, and production intent available beside every board.

You choose the scenes, the visual direction, and which outputs move forward. Halcyon organizes the process; it does not replace your source material.

Storyboarding workspace
  1. 1
    Bring in the scene

    Start from an existing script, story beat, or scene description and keep the source text available.

  2. 2
    Direct the reference

    Set the visual intent, composition, mood, lighting, shot direction, and relevant character context.

  3. 3
    Generate and compare

    Create a reference, judge it against the scene, and keep or revise the parts that serve the story.

  4. 4
    Sequence and export

    Place approved references in order and export the board and supporting project material.

What the workflow keeps connected

Creative context stays with the work

Scene-linked boards

Keep each visual reference attached to the scene, prompt, shot direction, mood, and surrounding story context.

Continuity context

Reference recurring characters, locations, objects, and lore while developing visual material across a sequence.

Selective generation

Visualize only the beats that need a clearer composition, design, lighting, or camera reference.

Refinement history

Review variations against the scene and regenerate the individual result that needs another pass.

Sequence view

Arrange selected scenes into a production sequence instead of managing unrelated image files.

Production handoff

Export storyboard material and associated assets as PDF or ZIP files for feedback and planning.

Questions

Before you bring in a project

Can I use an existing screenplay?

Yes. Halcyon supports story and screenplay workflows, including scene organization and import-oriented tools. You decide which material to visualize.

Does every scene need an AI image?

No. The workflow is selective. You can keep scenes as text and only generate references where a visual decision will help.

Can I export the storyboard?

Yes. Project and scene export workflows include PDF and ZIP output for review and handoff.

Are generated boards final production art?

They are best treated as visual references and planning material. Final-use rights and suitability depend on your source material, applicable law, and the generation provider terms described in Halcyon’s Terms of Service.
