AI Storyboard & Previs Generator
LTX 2 is purpose-built territory for previs on ManifoldGen: editorial-timing clips from 9 credits (~$0.09) each let you board an entire sequence for a few dollars. Static frames cost $0.04 with FLUX.2 [dev], and Manifold Video blocks motion precisely from ~101 credits.
For: Directors, DP supervisors, and ad teams selling sequences with moving boards instead of static sketches.
Board the frames
Generate composition frames per shot with FLUX.2 [dev] at $0.04 each. These double as image-to-video sources.
Time it with previs clips
Animate boards on LTX 2 at ~$0.09 per clip to prove rhythm and coverage before anyone discusses budget.
Block critical moves
For complicated staging, use Manifold Video keyframes to fix exactly where the camera starts, passes, and stops.
Present the reel
Assemble boards and previs into an animatic with scratch audio, exported straight from your editor for client or department review.
