About this tool
Framebreaker is built for directors, agencies, and collaborative teams that need to move quickly from a written script to a visual prototype. The system first parses a raw screenplay, breaking it into a structured list of scenes that can be referenced throughout the workflow. This structured output serves as the foundation for subsequent generation steps, ensuring each visual element aligns with the original narrative intent.
After the script is broken down, Framebreaker creates storyboard frames that visualize each scene, then produces a multi‑model video using those frames. The video is placed onto a timeline that can be edited and exported as an XML file compatible with major editing suites such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro, allowing creators to continue work in their preferred environment.
What you can do
Script Breakdown
The platform ingests a raw screenplay and automatically extracts scene headings, actions, and dialogue, outputting a structured scene list that can be referenced for storyboard and video generation.
Storyboard Generation
Using the structured scenes, Framebreaker creates a series of storyboard frames that visually represent each moment, providing a clear visual plan before video production begins.
Exportable Timeline
The generated video is placed on an editable timeline which can be exported as an XML file (FCPXML) for direct import into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro, preserving cuts and timing.
Who is it for?
- A film director can upload a draft screenplay, receive a full storyboard and rough video, then import the timeline into Final Cut Pro to fine‑tune pacing and effects.
- An advertising agency can turn a client’s script into a storyboard and quick‑turn video, then hand off the XML timeline to a post‑production house using Premiere Pro for final polish.
- A collaborative production team can share the generated storyboard and video with remote editors, who import the XML into DaVinci Resolve to apply color grading and visual effects.
Before you choose
Confirm whether the generated XML maintains all edit points and metadata when imported into each supported editing suite.
Check the level of control users have over the storyboard and video generation steps, especially if custom visual styles are required.
Frequently asked questions
What file formats does Framebreaker accept for the initial screenplay?
The system accepts plain‑text screenplay files. It parses standard screenplay formatting to identify scene headings, action lines, and dialogue, then creates a structured scene list for downstream processing.
Can the generated storyboard be edited before video creation?
Yes, after the script is broken down, the storyboard frames can be reviewed and adjusted. Changes made at this stage are reflected in the subsequent video generation, allowing creators to refine visual concepts before committing to a full video render.
How does Framebreaker integrate with editing software like Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro?
The platform exports the edited timeline as an XML file (FCPXML) that can be imported directly into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro. This import preserves the sequence of clips, cuts, and timing information, enabling editors to continue work without rebuilding the timeline manually.
