Use AI video for storyboards, previs, and shot exploration
Storyboard and previs work care about speed, flexibility, and repeatability more than a perfect final frame. Vidyu helps you test ideas quickly across multiple model families.
- Rough concepting and shot planning
- Fast models matter more than polished output here
- Directors, designers, and creative teams exploring sequences

How it works
How to use this page
Move quickly through ideas
The point of previs is not perfect polish. It is to answer direction, timing, and shot questions quickly.
Use the lowest-cost model that still works
Cost-aware iteration matters here because the process usually involves many revisions and throwaway tests.
Save higher-cost models for the final beat
Once the concept is proven, move to a higher-end model only if the output needs to be shown more broadly.
What to know
Key details before you choose a model
Planning instead of polish
Previs and storyboard work benefits more from quick loops and many variations than from the highest-end render path.
Great for sequence exploration
You can test pacing, direction, mood, and rough composition without a heavy manual production setup.
Team use
Creative teams can use the outputs to align on direction before committing to more expensive production steps.
