What is it?

Open Storyboard Canvas puts reference assets, prompts, AI image and video generation, storyboard breakdown, a 3D director studio, panoramic environments and result management into one infinitely extensible local canvas. Nodes can be connected, tracked, restored and edited again, so it works as a repeatable creative workflow rather than a one-shot prompt-to-image tool.

The desktop app is built with Tauri 2, React, TypeScript and Rust, and runs on macOS and Windows. Providers include Agnes, custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints and a local Dreamina CLI. Asynchronous generation jobs are persisted, and unknown submission results are not automatically resubmitted, which avoids duplicate billing.

An in-canvas agent (currently in beta) can create and edit nodes, submit generations, check task status and read redacted logs. Projects, nodes, history and media references are saved to the local machine, and API keys stay in local settings.

Key features

  • 01Node canvas for uploads, AI text, image and video generation, storyboards, panoramas and director studio.
  • 02Director studio with 3D characters, props, lighting and camera control.
  • 03Persistent tracking of async generation jobs with recoverable results.
  • 04Tag groups that bundle image, video and text references.
  • 05Batch prompt import from tables to create many canvas tasks at once.
  • 06Local project storage with undo/redo and light/dark theme.

Use cases

  • Storyboarding a short film or ad with AI-generated frames and camera setups.
  • Building repeatable image-to-video pipelines from reference images.
  • Pre-visualizing scenes in a 3D director studio before generating final shots.
  • Batch-generating variations from a prompt table.
