Why marketers use it
Built for campaign pace
Marketing teams ship video every week. The slow part isn't shooting. It's getting everyone aligned on what to shoot.
Brief to board in 60 seconds
Agency quote took three days last time? Paste the brief here and the storyboard is done before your kickoff call ends.
Get exec sign-off before you spend
Your CMO wants to see it before approving the budget. Send a shareable link. They review it on their phone between meetings.
On-brand without a briefing doc
Drop in your website URL. The AI reads your tone, audience, and positioning so every panel sounds like you wrote it.
Every channel, one tool
Vertical 9:16 for TikTok and Reels. Widescreen 16:9 for YouTube and brand spots. Cinematic boards for TVCs. Same product.
Workflow
Brief in, storyboard out
Three steps. The whole thing takes about as long as writing a kickoff email.
Paste the brief
Drop in your campaign brief, a rough idea, or a document from the agency. The AI picks up the core message, audience, and tone.
Add your brand
Enter your website URL and the AI pulls your brand voice, product positioning, and audience into the generated script and panels.
Share the storyboard
Send a public link to your CMO, product team, or agency partner. Iterate on the board before anyone books a camera crew.
Once the board is approved, Shootsta turns it into a finished video within 48 hours.
What marketers tell us
The problems this actually solves
Four pain points we hear from marketing teams every week, and what changes when they pick up a storyboard tool.
VP of Marketing
“We can't greenlight video spend until leadership sees what we're making. The agency takes a week just to come back with concepts.”
Generate three storyboard variations in ten minutes. Share the links with the CMO, CFO, and product lead. Get sign-off before the kickoff meeting.
Content Marketing Manager
“I need to ship a hero video every fortnight and nobody has time to brief an editor cold. Half the campaign window is gone before we shoot.”
Draft the storyboard yourself in a minute. Hand the video team a pre-approved board on day one. Claim back two weeks of campaign time.
Brand Manager
“Whenever a creative team pitches us something, it feels like a generic template with our logo slapped on at the end.”
The AI reads your brand website first. Tone, audience, and positioning get baked into every panel, not tacked on as an afterthought.
Social Campaign Lead
“The brief wants TikTok, Reels, and LinkedIn. Every agency quote is three separate projects and three separate invoices.”
Generate the same campaign in vertical 9:16 and widescreen 16:9 from one brief. No re-briefing, no re-quoting.
Marketing video FAQs
Can I use my marketing brief as the input?
Yes. Paste the brief, upload it as a document, or type a one-liner. The AI extracts the message, target audience, and call to action, then writes a production script around it.
Will the storyboard match my brand?
Enter your company URL and the AI scrapes your site for brand name, tone of voice, audience, and product positioning. Every panel, caption, and closing frame reflects it.
What video formats are supported?
Choose vertical (9:16) for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, or widescreen (16:9) for YouTube, LinkedIn, and brand campaigns. The storyboard style adapts to the tier you pick.
Can I share storyboards with stakeholders who don't have accounts?
Yes. Every storyboard gets a public share link. Send it to your exec team, legal reviewer, or agency. No login required. Revoke the link any time.
How many panels does a marketing storyboard include?
Six panels by default, following a proven narrative structure: hook, problem, insight, solution, action, and call to action. You can add more on the Pro plan (up to 20).
