What counts as a storyboard here
A storyboard is the plan of a sequence laid out shot by shot before it is filmed or generated. Here it means any such plan an AI tool returns, drawn or written, between a script and a video. From 8 source pages, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
Most tools on the catalogue return drawn panels; a few return panels with a shot list; two return a written plan with no drawing.
The word covers the plan, not the video. Where a vendor uses it for both, the catalogue follows the part that comes before generation.

2A board that becomes video
Between the script and the video in “Storyboard”, SceneMixer hands back the following, in its own words:
Every length on the site — the parse cap, the parse fee, the storyboard fee, the AI Create target — is counted in Chinese-equivalent characters.

SceneMixer turns a novel into a watchable short-drama series in one pipeline: upload the novel (Chinese or English) → AI extracts characters, scenes, and an episode-by-episode structure → generates consistent character and scene art → writes storyboard scripts → renders video segment by segment (16:9 by default, 9:16 in one setting) → composites full episodes.
