PanelPilot

PanelPilot is a web + desktop app for visual storytellers who need clear, editable storyboards without spending days drawing every frame. You paste a script or outline, then build a beat-by-beat board using reusable shot templates (OTS, wide, insert, etc.), character/location “cards,” and a timeline that tracks continuity. It’s a hybrid traditional + AI app: AI proposes shot lists, camera angles, and rough panel thumbnails, but the core value is structured editing—locking characters, props, and locations so revisions don’t break continuity. Export to PDF, FDX notes, or a shareable review link with comments and version history. This isn’t a ‘make pretty art’ tool; it’s a production planning tool that reduces rework, miscommunication, and missed shots. Expect the AI thumbnails to be imperfect; the win is speed, clarity, and iteration control.
