FAQs
-
Do I need any prior experience in video pre-production?
Absolutely not. Shai is simple to use and requires no extra skills. In case you’re an expert in video pre-production, you can still apply your production style to Shai and let us help you throughout the process. -
Do I need to download Shai?
No download needed. Shai is a fully online storyboard software, so it doesn’t require you to download anything locally on your computer. This means you can also access your projects from anywhere you are. -
Can I still make manual adjustments to the AI-generated outputs?
Certainly. You can upload your own images, adjust the script breakdown, adjust the planning and so much more. You are the owner of your project; look at Shai as your AI pre-production assistant. -
Can I try it out?
Of course you can. You can upload your script (or any other creative document) and Shai will generate the first 10 scenes of your storyboard, the first 10 shots of your shot list, or the first 2 days of your production planning. -
Do I need to have a credit card?
Nope. Just get started without a credit card. It’s entirely free. You pay only when you want to refill your credits or access premium features.
