How to make a video storyboard with AI
A complete guide to creating AI storyboards, generating images and video, and editing everything on a timeline.
What is FableFactory?
FableFactory is an AI-powered video studio. You describe what you want, and the app builds a storyboard, generates the images, animates them into video clips, and drops them onto a timeline you can edit like Kapwing or CapCut.
Creators, marketers, storytellers, and anyone who wants to produce short-form video without filming. You bring the idea; the AI brings the visuals and motion.
- 1Use FableFactory when you want to turn an idea, script, campaign, or story into a finished video without arranging a traditional shoot.
- 2You stay in control of the prompts, references, scene order, timing, text, audio, and final edit while AI handles the first visual drafts and motion.
Creating a new video
Use the guided New Video setup to turn your initial idea into a structured storyboard, or skip it when you prefer to build from a blank scene.
Projects, videos, and scenes
Everything lives in a simple hierarchy: Projects → Videos → Storyboard Scenes → Timeline Clips.
AI Director — prompt to storyboard
The AI Director turns a description into a full storyboard with image prompts, motion prompts, and timing suggestions.
Generating images
Each scene starts as a still image. You can generate it with AI, upload your own, or pick something from the Media Library.
Animating images into video
Once a scene has an image, you can animate it into a short video clip using AI video models.
References, characters, and media library
Keep your projects consistent by uploading references, creating characters, and reusing assets from the Media Library.
Storyboard tools
The storyboard is where you plan the video scene by scene before editing.
The timeline editor
The editor is a multi-track canvas where you trim, layer, move, and caption your clips.
Canvas editing
The canvas shows the current frame of your video and lets you arrange visual clips by hand.
Text, captions, and audio
Add titles, captions, voiceover, and music to finish your story.
Editing on mobile
The editor adapts to phones with a dense timeline and bottom-sheet controls, similar to CapCut.
Exporting and downloading
When your edit is ready, export it as a single video file.
Tokens, plans, and billing
FableFactory uses a token system. You spend tokens on every AI generation, and plans refill your balance monthly.
