Craftin Launches 'Craftin 1.0', a New Service for Rapid AI-Generated Storyboard Images from Text Scripts

Craftin Inc. (Location: Meguro, Tokyo; CEO: Keiichi Higuchi) announced that it will release 'Craftin 1.0' on June 3, 2026. This new service allows users to convert text captions, or 'text storyboards,' into AI-generated images at high speeds.

Craftin 1.0 is an AI production service designed to quickly visualize ideas for planning and producing advertising, videos, TV commercials, and SNS clips.

When a user inputs the content of each cut as a text storyboard, the AI converts the content into a prompt optimized for image generation. Furthermore, users can finely control character placement, camera angles, lens effects, framing, depth, and style for each cut while maintaining consistency in characters and backgrounds.

This enables the落とし込み (transfer) of ideas into specific, intended visuals without compromising the speed required during the early planning stages of production.

Development Background

In video and advertising production, storyboards are crucial for sharing planning ideas with clients and teams. However, storyboard creation is time-consuming.

Creators who are not adept at drawing often have to spend significant effort searching for appropriate reference images online and creating sketches based on those images.

While advancements in image generation AI have improved the speed of creating single visuals, professional production sites require more than just 'getting an image.'

They require that the same character looks consistent across different cuts, scenes connect with the same location and world-view, and that the design of subject placement, camera angles, lens effects, and depth can be changed for each cut. They also need to unify the overall tone to match the project or brand.

Only with this level of 'production-grade control' can AI-generated images be integrated into the actual practice of storyboard creation.

Craftin 1.0 was developed to solve this challenge.

Key Features of Craftin 1.0

1. Rapid Storyboard Generation from Text Inputs
By inputting captions or scene descriptions for each cut, the AI converts them into prompts optimized for image generation. This allows for rapid visualization from initial idea generation, without the need for expert prompt engineering.

2. Maintaining Character Consistency
In video storyboards, changes in a character's appearance across cuts can confuse the story. Craftin 1.0 allows for the deployment of characters across multiple cuts while maintaining their appearance, clothing, and atmosphere.

3. Consistently Generating Scenes and Backgrounds
The continuity of backgrounds, such as rooms or streets, is critical in video. Craftin 1.0 enables generation that respects background consistency, preventing scenes from appearing as if they are in different locations.

4. Precise Control Over Subject Placement and Camera Work
Craftin 1.0 allows for precise adjustments to composition, including subject placement, camera angles (e.g., high/low, POV), lens types (e.g., wide, telephoto), and depth, ensuring that the specific narrative intent is conveyed accurately.
