1How this tool boards a script

DirectStudio drafts its storyboard in a chat: the demo shows scenes and numbered shots appearing as the brief is discussed. A shot is changed by clicking it or by asking the agent, camera work comes from named cinematic controls such as close-ups and tracking, and the same workspace renders the board to full video.
