The AI workspace for your storyboards

The AI workspace for your storyboards

Storyboards are how video productions take shape before the camera rolls. Shot sequences, scene breakdowns, visual narratives, transition plans. They're drawn on paper, built in specialised apps, exported as image sequences, or sketched on a whiteboard during a pre-production meeting. By the time production starts, the storyboard is in one tool, the script is in another, the reference clips are in a third, and the production notes are in someone's email.

Fabric keeps storyboards searchable alongside scripts, reference clips, and production notes in one workspace. Arrange frames on the canvas. Annotate with shot direction. Connect the visual plan to every other production document.

Search across storyboard frames

AI search finds storyboard frames by description. "The scene where the character enters the building" finds the relevant frames. "Every shot planned as a close-up" finds them across the storyboard. "Transitions between scenes 3 and 4" finds the sequence. The search reads inside images and exported frames by visual content and any text or labels.

Similar search finds visually related frames across projects. Drop in a reference shot and find storyboard frames with a similar composition.

Canvas for visual planning

The canvas is built for storyboard work. Arrange frames in sequence. Add reference clips from YouTube with live embeds. Pin notes between frames for shot direction, camera angles, and transitions. Lay out the full visual narrative spatially. Real-time collaboration means the director, the cinematographer, and the editor plan together.

Annotate with production direction

Annotations let you mark up storyboard frames with shot direction: "wide angle, tracking shot," "match cut to next scene," "pickup shot needed for continuity," "client wants this moment emphasised." The annotations are searchable, so "every frame marked as pickup" or "shots the client flagged" produces the production checklist.

Connected to scripts and production materials

Storyboards don't exist in isolation. They connect to the script they visualise, the reference clips that inspired the look, the shot list for the production day, and the meeting notes from the pre-production planning session. In Fabric, all of these live together and are searchable in the same library. The storyboard frame, the script page it illustrates, and the reference clip it echoes are all findable in one search.
