ScreenWeaver is a web-based AI production studio that automates storyboard generation from screenplays and provides pre-wired image and video workflows for films, series, commercials, 3D animation, anime, and music videos.
What is ScreenWeaver?
ScreenWeaver is a full AI production interface where your script generates the storyboard automatically and production workflows come ready to run. It takes a screenplay as input and produces storyboards, image frames, video clips, and a connected visual pipeline, all while keeping the script as the source of truth. The platform runs in the browser, is installable as an app, and includes a free professional screenwriting environment with unlimited projects and pages.
Key Features
- Automatic storyboard generation — Generate panels directly from the screenplay, with frames synced to sluglines and beats; approve, revise, replace, or import your own frames.
- Pre-wired workflow engine — Image and video generation graphs are prebuilt from script context (source scene, frame direction, references, image, video) and every node is editable, with model and provider flexibility.
- Free screenwriting core — Industry-standard screenplay editor with unlimited projects and pages, outline and beats, characters/places/objects tracking, and export to PDF and Final Draft, all free forever.
- Continuity world bible — Track characters, places, and objects with notes, images, links, and audio so faces, wardrobe, locations, and props stay consistent from draft to frame.
- Real-time collaboration — Writers, directors, and producers can comment and edit on the same screenplay, with unlimited collaborators and 100% version history.
- Offline support — Install ScreenWeaver as a PWA on phone, tablet, or computer and keep writing without an internet connection; changes sync when back online.
- Powered by Seedance 2.0 & 2.5 — Video generation integrates with BytePlus's Seedance models, with support for ElevenLabs grants and BytePlus infrastructure.
Who is it for?
- Screenwriters — Use the free professional editor to write scripts with industry-standard formatting, outline, beats, and unlimited projects/pages.
- Indie filmmakers — Turn a finished script into storyboards and pre-visualize scenes before committing to expensive production, all in one workspace.
- Small production teams — Keep writers, directors, and producers aligned on the same screenplay spine with real-time collaboration, comments, and version history.
- AI film creators — Generate storyboards, stills, and video clips from script context using editable AI workflows, with continuity-aware planning across the project.
What can you do with ScreenWeaver?
- Write a screenplay from idea to first draft — Use the free editor with outline and beat tracking, then export to PDF or Final Draft.
- Turn a scene into a storyboard — Generate panels tied to the exact slugline and beat, then lock approved boards or import your own references.
- Produce a music video — Write a story that becomes a track, and the visuals cut to the beat, as shown in the "Story to music video" example.
- Create 3D animated scenes — Convert storyboards into rendered 3D scenes with the same characters and shots, as demonstrated in the "Storyboard to 3D" example.
How does ScreenWeaver work?
The pipeline follows three steps: Write, See, Build. First, write the script in the free screenwriting environment. Second, generate storyboard frames synced to the script's sluglines and beats. Third, build visual workflows where script context flows into nodes for frame direction, image generation, and video generation, with every node editable. The script remains authoritative while storyboard, continuity, and generation tools stay bound to the scenes they belong to.
Pricing
ScreenWeaver uses a freemium model. The Screenwriter tier is free forever and includes unlimited projects/pages, screenplay editor, outline/beats, PDF and Final Draft export. The Storyboard Beta tier is $9.99/month (early-access beta) and adds storyboard workspace and generation from your screenplay. The Filmmaker tier (for storyboard, continuity, research AI, visual workflow engine, and real-time collaboration) is planned for late August 2026, with pricing to be announced.
Alternatives
- Final Draft — industry-standard screenwriting software; ScreenWeaver positions itself as a step beyond by keeping storyboard and visual workflows tied to the script.
FAQ
Is ScreenWeaver really free for writing?
Yes. The screenwriting environment is genuinely free: unlimited projects and pages, industry-standard formatting, outline and beats, and export to PDF and Final Draft. You pay only when you want advanced AI, storyboard generation, and visual workflows.
Can I export to Final Draft and PDF?
Yes. Final Draft and PDF export are included in the free Screenwriter tier, so your draft stays portable and production-ready.
Does ScreenWeaver replace writers with AI?
No. The screenplay stays central. AI assists with research, consistency, and visual iteration; you remain responsible for authorship and creative decisions.
How does storyboard stay connected to the screenplay?
Frames and panels are linked to sluglines, scenes, and beats, not floating in a separate folder. When the script moves, the visual layer stays mapped to the structure you wrote.
Can I use my own images and references?
Yes. You can import references, sketches, or renders at any time. Generated frames are a starting point; you control what ships.
