Concept to story

From concept to visual story in minutes.

Creative brainstorming often starts with a rough idea: "a 30 second commercial about..." or "a short film where...". With AI storyboard on MockFlow, your team describes the concept and AI generates a complete visual storyboard with scenes, frame descriptions, camera directions and AI generated images, all on your shared whiteboard.

AI generate

Describe your story. AI builds the storyboard.

During creative brainstorming, tell AI what you are planning: a product video, brand commercial, explainer animation or short film. AI generates 6 to 10 frames with detailed descriptions including action, dialogue, camera angles, lighting and mood, ready for your team to discuss and refine.

"Create a storyboard for a 30-second coffee brand commercial showing morning ritual"
"Generate a product demo video storyboard for a fitness app onboarding flow"
"Build an animated explainer storyboard about how our SaaS platform works"

AI images

Generate visuals for every frame.

Describe a scene and see it. AI generates cinematic illustrations for each frame based on your descriptions. Create consistent character portraits and scene backgrounds, and apply brand guides to keep one visual style across the whole storyboard.

  • Frame images. AI generated illustrations for each storyboard frame.
  • Character portraits. Consistent character visuals across frames.
  • Scene backgrounds. Environment and setting illustrations.
  • Brand guide. Apply art style and colors consistently.

AI modify

Refine your narrative through conversation.

Storyboarding is iterative. As your team discusses, ask AI to adjust: "Add more tension to scene 3", "Insert a flashback before the climax" or "Extend the opening sequence". AI keeps existing frames and images while adding or changing what you ask.

"Add 3 more frames showing the product reveal moment"
"Make the ending more emotional with a callback to the opening"
"Insert transition frames between the office and outdoor scenes"

AI convert

Turn scripts and outlines into storyboards.

Already have a script, screenplay or video outline? Paste it and AI converts it into a visual storyboard. It works the other way too: turn your storyboard into a shot list, timeline or production document. Your creative work flows between formats.

  • Script or screenplay to storyboard
  • Video outline to storyboard
  • Storyboard to timeline
  • Storyboard to document

Mida: "I've created an 8-frame storyboard: opening with nature imagery, moving to fabric sourcing, then craftsmanship, ending with real customers wearing the collection. Want me to generate images for each frame?"
You: "Yes, and make the style more documentary-like"

How it works

How AI storyboarding works.

From story idea to visual storyboard in three steps.

Step 1

Describe your concept

Tell AI about your video, film or animation. "A 30 second commercial about..." or "An explainer video showing...": describe the story you want to tell.

Step 2

AI generates the storyboard

Get 6 to 10 frames with detailed descriptions: action, dialogue, camera angles, lighting, mood. Optionally generate AI images for each frame instantly.

Step 3

Refine with your team

Discuss as a team and ask AI to modify: add frames, adjust the narrative, regenerate images. The storyboard evolves with your creative vision.

Questions

AI storyboard generator FAQ.

How does AI storyboard generation work?
Describe your video or film concept in natural language during a team brainstorm. AI analyzes your description, understands the narrative structure, and generates 6 to 10 frames with detailed descriptions including action, dialogue, camera angles, lighting, and mood. The storyboard appears on your shared whiteboard instantly.
Can AI generate images for storyboard frames?
Yes. AI generates cinematic illustrations for each frame based on your descriptions. You can also generate character portraits and scene backgrounds separately. Apply a brand guide (art style, colors) to maintain visual consistency across all generated images.
Can I convert a script into a storyboard?
Yes. Paste your script, screenplay, or video outline and ask AI to convert it into a storyboard. AI extracts key moments, dialogue, and scene descriptions to create visual frames. You can also convert storyboards back into documents, timelines, or shot lists.
Can AI modify an existing storyboard?
Yes. Select your storyboard and ask AI to make changes: "Add 3 frames showing the climax", "Make the opening more dramatic", or "Insert a flashback sequence". AI preserves existing frames and images while adding or modifying what you ask.
How do teams collaborate on storyboards?
MockFlow is a real-time collaborative whiteboard. When AI generates a storyboard, everyone in the session sees it instantly. Team members can discuss, and anyone can ask AI to refine frames or regenerate images. Perfect for creative reviews and pitch development.
