EpicDraft for creators
Write it. Board it.Play it back.
Turn an idea into storyboards and a playable animatic, then cut it to size for YouTube, Shorts, TikTok or Vimeo. One project from the first line to the finished file.
Storyboards, animatics and the timeline are free on every platform. Rendering and publishing are Pro: $15, once.
02 — How it works
From a page to a picture.
Each step builds on the one before, in the same project. The animatic's captions are your script's lines, so they change when the script does.
- 01Free
Write
Start from a logline, a beat list or a full script. Formatting is automatic, and a line in the margin marks where each shot starts. Pick a length, a :60 spot, a short film or a short-form episode, and craft checks tell you when the page runs long.
- 02Free
Board
Storyboards follow your scenes: a board for each scene, with shots that hold its frames. Sketch a frame in the app, bring in drawings and photos, render frames from your 3D blocking, or generate them with Pro.
- 03Free
Block
Work out where everyone stands in a simple 3D set before you commit to frames.
- 04Free
Play
Play the animatic: each frame for its time, with the script's lines as captions and the sounds you add to your 3D scenes. Or run a table read and hear every character before you record.

Cut
A timeline with lanes for takes, voices and sound, plus motion and transitions for each frame. With Pro, generate video takes on your Mac or with a video service you connect, then render an MP4.

You post it, not us.
EpicDraft never uploads for you. On a computer it saves the video with what the site asks for beside it, and a button opens that site's upload page. On a phone it hands the video to your share sheet.
