AI storyboard generator · in ChatGPT and Claude

AI storyboard generator: a frame for every shot, ready to animate

Creative Claw turns a script into a storyboard inside ChatGPT, Claude or Codex: the assistant splits it into shots, Nano Banana 2.1 draws one frame per shot at the final aspect ratio with the same product and characters, and each approved frame can become the first frame of its video shot. A frame costs 16 credits ($0.16); the four frames for our 15-second HALCYO ad cost 64 credits, and the finished ad 416.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste the script

    Give the length, the format and the product or characters. The assistant writes a shot list with one line and one camera move per shot.

  2. 2

    Lock the look

    Attach the product photo or save the characters first, so every frame shows the same face and packaging.

  3. 3

    Generate the frames

    One Nano Banana 2.1 frame per shot at the final ratio, 16 credits each at 1K. Redo single frames until the board reads.

  4. 4

    Animate the approved frames

    Each frame becomes the first frame of its shot; then a voiceover, captions and music finish the video.

Try this prompt

Use Creative Claw to storyboard this 15-second 9:16 ad: "[paste your script]". Split it into 3 or 4 shots, give each a one-line description and a camera move, and generate one Nano Banana 2.1 frame per shot with the same product in every frame. Show me the shot list and the credit estimate first.

FAQ

Can ChatGPT or Claude make a storyboard? +

They write the shot list. With Creative Claw installed they also draw a consistent frame for each shot and can animate the approved frames into the video.

How much does an AI storyboard cost? +

Nano Banana 2.1 frames are 16 credits ($0.16) each at 1K, so a 6-shot board is about 96 credits. Our four frames for a 15-second ad cost 64.

How do I keep the same character or product in every frame? +

Attach the product photo or a saved Character to every frame request, and say what must stay the same.

Can I storyboard in a sketch style? +

Yes: pencil, marker or comic panels. For frames you plan to animate, use the final look instead, because each frame becomes the first frame of its shot.

Can I get one storyboard sheet instead of separate frames? +

Yes. Ask for one page with numbered panels; a sheet is a single image at image prices.

Can the storyboard become the video? +

Yes. Approve the frames, ask for each shot to be animated from its frame, then add the voiceover and captions.

Which model draws the best storyboard frames? +

Nano Banana 2.1 for most boards, with strong reference consistency; Nano Banana Pro for dense boards with labels; GPT Image 2.5 when the frames must carry exact text.

Can I try it for free? +

Yes. New Creative Claw accounts get 100 free credits with no card, enough for two 5-second MiniMax H3 Max Fast clips or six Nano Banana 2 images. After that, $10 buys 1,000 credits that never expire, with no subscription.

Does it work in ChatGPT and Claude? +

Yes. Install Creative Claw from the ChatGPT plugin directory, or in Claude add it from Claude's plugin directory (Customize → Plugins, then search for Creative Claw), connect on the plugin's Connectors tab, then sign in. The same account and credits also work in Codex, Cursor and OpenClaw.
