BunCho

For filmmakers & short-drama creators

From script to storyboard and animatic

Before the shoot, you want the team and the client to see the finished picture. BunCho makes a scene-by-scene storyboard from your script and animates the cuts into an animatic or previs. Set camera moves and VFX per cut, and hand off to Premiere via XML when you want to finish there.

Frequently asked questions

Can it make live-action-style footage?
You can pick live action as the storyboard style. Videos using real people's faces or names can't be made.
Can I export in 4K?
Yes, from 480p to 4K (2160p), with presets for YouTube widescreen and vertical TikTok, Shorts and Reels.
How many credits does it use?
Per second, it rises from our own GPUs (widescreen only) to Economy, Standard and High quality, chosen per cut. On Feast and above, own-GPU video uses 0 credits up to the fair-use limit (120 seconds a day). You always see an estimate first.
