NUVAR turns your screenplay into a shot-by-shot storyboard — AI imaging, consistent characters, 3D blocking, animatic playback and Premiere/After Effects export. One desktop app instead of five. 100% offline. €199 once — no subscription.
14-day full trial · no credit card · your script never leaves your machine
No tab-juggling between a script tool, an image generator, a 3D app and an editor. NUVAR does the whole pre-production chain on your desktop.
NUVAR reads your screenplay and breaks it into acts, scenes and shots — with suggested camera angles and durations. Even feature-length scripts, auto-split into parts.
Generate AI images across 61 models, keep characters consistent with reference faces, block scenes in 3D and collect looks on a mood board.
Play your board as an animatic with timing and audio, then export to Premiere & After Effects, a print-ready PDF, a WebM and a CSV shooting schedule.
Paste or import your script and let NUVAR (powered by Claude, your key) propose the acts, scenes and individual shots — each with a camera type and a runtime. You start with a full board, not a blank page.
One click per shot or batch the whole project — across Seedream, FLUX, GPT-Image and more via Atlas Cloud. Pick the right look per shot; every model shows what it does up front. Bring your own key.
Define a character once with up to five reference images, tag it on any shot, and NUVAR keeps that face consistent across a hundred generated frames. The thing standalone image tools simply can't do.
Block shots in a real-time 3D scene with a GLB starter pack and placeable lights, then hit play — your board runs in sequence at the right durations with per-shot audio mixed in.
FCP7 XML opens straight into Premiere & After Effects as a sequence. Add a WebM animatic (no extra tools), a print-ready PDF storyboard, a CSV shooting schedule and per-shot PNGs.
Most filmmakers stitch pre-production together from a script app, an AI image site, a 3D tool and a spreadsheet. Here's how that stacks up.
