How do I turn a storyboard into an AI video?

From script to shot list

Start with text. Paste a script or idea into a Text node, or ask the canvas assistant; "a shot-by-shot storyboard" and "a cinematic film from your story" are among its starter ideas. A Generate Text node with a language model can break a scene into shots. A useful shot description has three parts: what the shot is about, the one main camera or subject move, and the action. Every account also comes with a Seedance shot-planning skill that covers routes, storyboards, continuity and end states.

From shot list to storyboard panels

1. Create one Image node per panel and arrange them left to right. Label scenes with Heading nodes and box sequences with Zone nodes.
2. Wire your character and location references (or Elements) into each panel and @-tag them in the prompt so faces and sets stay consistent.
3. Pick the model. Fast, cheap drafts: Kling Image v3 ($0.034), Seedream v4 ($0.036). Final-quality boards: Nano Banana Pro ($0.180), Seedream 5.0 Pro, GPT Image 2.0 ($0.063), FLUX 3.
4. Review the board as a whole before animating. A storyboard that reads clearly as stills will usually cut together as video.

From panels to motion

Connect each panel to a Video node. The panel becomes the first frame, and the prompt describes only what moves. For cuts that must match exactly, use first and last frame mode: wire panel N as the start and panel N+1 as the end on a model that supports it (Kling V3 Pro, Veo 3.1). Within a continuous scene, an even more reliable trick is to start each shot from the real last frame of the previous clip instead of a drawn panel, so action carries through the cut.

Prices are the per-generation costs listed on gulab.ai/pricing in October 2026 and can change; the pricing page is always the live source.

Already have footage? Go the other way

The Scenes node breaks an existing video into editable scenes, each with a title, prompt, timing, style, camera movement and a captured frame. That is useful for studying a reference edit or remaking a sequence in a new style: break it down, swap the frames for your own panels, then animate.

Assemble the cut

Wire the finished clips into Concat in story order, use Crossfade where a hard cut is too abrupt, add music and effects through Audio Mix, titles with Text Overlay, then Export. Because every clip is still connected to its panel, swapping one weak shot means regenerating one node, not starting over.

Pricing

Gulab bills per generation from a credit balance. Plans are Solo Producer ($10/month, ₹799), AI Era Creator ($20/month, ₹1,599) and Full Studio ($50/month, ₹3,999). Every plan includes every model, with no model-gating. Unused credits from a monthly plan roll over for up to 60 days, and top-up credits (available to subscribers) last until used.
