Storyboards and motion

Every chapter gets frames rendered from the text and clips animated from the frames, at three quality tiers with the price shown before you spend it.

A book is easier to sell with something to look at. The storyboard turns each chapter into pictures, and the pictures into motion, without leaving the manuscript.

Frames from the text

Open a chapter's storyboard and the platform proposes panels: the scenes worth seeing, each with a prompt built from the prose and the cast. Render a panel and you get a frame; render again and you get another version beside it. The versions stay in a carousel so you can compare, pick, and re-render with a note - "closer on her face", "night, not dusk" - until it is right. Cast portraits keep a character looking like themselves from panel to panel.

Motion from the frames

Any frame can be animated into a short clip. Three presets cover the usual decisions: a fast draft to see whether the shot works, a standard render for most panels, and a final pass on the models that do the best job with faces and camera movement. The per-clip price of each preset sits in a popover on the button, refreshed from the provider's catalogue daily, so a render is a decision you make with the number in front of you rather than one you discover on the invoice.

Clips render in the background. The panel shows a shimmer while the provider works, the play chip appears when the clip lands, and a toast tells you it is ready if you have moved on. Several clips per panel can exist at once; you choose which one the storyboard uses.

On your own account

Image and video rendering run on your organization's own provider key, the same rule as every other model call here. There is no platform markup and no token resale: the price you see is the provider's price.

Where it goes

Frames and clips live in the manuscript's workspace, playable in the browser and downloadable in one click, and they carry into the release kit alongside the export - cover, synopsis, chapter art and motion, ready for wherever the book is going.
