About this app

Draw it. Time it. Hand it off.

Hello Storyboard is a storyboard app for film, animation, commercials and video pre-production. Sketch your boards with a pen on your tablet, set the length and camera move of every cut, watch it as an animatic, then export a print-ready PDF or a video.

Made for directors, animators, filmmakers, ad agencies, YouTubers and film students. Use it as a storyboard maker, an animatic tool and a shot planner for previs — all in one app.

★ Script in, panels out
Open a script (TXT, PDF, DOCX, Fountain or Final Draft) and get scenes, shots and panels in one go. Sluglines, action and dialogue land in the caption fields, panel lengths follow the dialogue, and each character gets a layer. Spend your time drawing, not making empty panels.

★ From drawn boards to 3D previs
Give each scene a 3D set and place characters, vehicles, props and the camera. Mark characters on your drawing, or let the app read shot size, angle and lens from your captions, and it works out where everyone stands and where the camera is. See every cut as a 3D stand-in scene through its own camera. Positions stay put from cut to cut, and a continuity check flags cuts that cross the 180-degree line. Export it all as a 3D blocking video.
