About open-storyboard-canvas

Open Storyboard Canvas puts your whole storyboard on one endless local canvas. You get prompts, image and video generation, shot breakdown, and a 3D director stage. It runs on macOS and Windows, and the canvas Agent is still beta. Docs are in Chinese, and you pay for your own API keys.

Best for: Storyboard artists and AI short-drama creators who want a local, node-based canvas for shot planning and 3D camera staging.

What it does

  • Adds upload, AI text, AI image, AI video, storyboard, panorama and director-stage nodes
  • Stages 3D scenes: place characters, props, lights and cameras, then record takes
  • Generates and views panoramas, saves viewpoints, imports them as stage backgrounds
  • Chats with a canvas Agent (beta) that creates nodes and submits generations
  • Keeps prompt presets and a prompt library; imports prompts in bulk from a table
  • Tracks async tasks and recovers results without re-billing you for unknown submits
