How it works
From script to screen in six steps
M Studio builds a film shot by shot, and you direct every shot — this is the whole path, start to finish.
- 01
Start a film
Start from a one-line brief, or import a screenplay PDF and build straight from the pages you already wrote.
- 02
Add your script
Scenes, action and dialogue laid out shot by shot — editable line by line before anything renders.
- 03
Add your characters
Add each character once with a reference image so the same face carries across every shot in the film.
- 04
Build the storyboard
Your script breaks into shots on a canvas. Reorder, reframe and re-prompt any shot until the board reads right.
- 05
Make the video clips
Turn approved storyboard pictures into video clips one shot at a time, then layer voiceover, music and sound effects.
- 06
Export the cut
Take the finished cut out as an MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 4K on Professional and up, ready for the edit or the pitch.
There is no length cap in the editor. Because films are made shot by shot, how long a film can run comes down to how many video clips your plan includes — not a limit in the tool.
FAQ
Questions about these comparisons
Boords, Storyboard Pro, Katalist, Fliki, LTX Studio, Runway ML, Kling AI, HeyGen, Kapwing, InVideo, CapCut, Canva Video, OpenAI Sora, Pika Labs, Domo AI, and Higgsfield. Each page says where the other tool is the better pick, not only where M Studio is.
Start from what you need to deliver. If the storyboard, the avatar video, or the edit is the whole job, a single-purpose tool may be enough. If one script has to become storyboard pictures, video clips, voice, music, and sound in one cut, M Studio saves the handoffs between tools.
We read each competitor's own product, pricing and docs pages, most recently in October 2026, and every fact links the page and the date we read it. Prices and features change, so check the vendor's page before you buy.
One place for the whole film
Script, storyboard, video, and sound in one place
Write or import the script, draw the storyboard, make the video clips, add voice, music, and sound, and export the cut, without moving files between tools.
