1How this tool boards a script

Drawstory starts from an uploaded script. Its assistant director reads the text for shots, characters, locations and camera angles, then lays out a shot list and storyboard scenes that keep the characters consistent. The home page puts export on the paid plans, and says nothing about changing one frame or moving the board on to video.
