After Effects
.zip with a .jsx script
Run the script in the ZIP and After Effects builds a composition with every frame at its Boords timing and notes on each layer.
Integrations & exports
Plug Boords into the rest of production
Claude and ChatGPT work in your boards. Mentions and replies reach you in Slack. Approved work goes to the edit, the deck and the shoot.
AI connections and Slack DMs are on every Boords plan, even Free.
Four ways Boords fits your stack
AI that works in your boards, updates that reach your team and your systems, and files for every stage after sign-off.
Connect your AI
Claude or ChatGPT works in Boords with your account, creating and updating projects, scripts, storyboards and frames. Making changes needs an Owner, Admin or Full access role.
Stay in the loop
Mentions, replies and followed comments reach each person as Slack DMs. Webhooks tell your own systems when a board is approved.
Export to the edit and the deck
Open the approved board in After Effects, Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, or turn it into a client deck, shot list, PDF or animatic.
Build on the API
Your own code and pipelines create projects, scripts, storyboards and frames, attach images and manage comments through a REST API.
Every integration and export, by job
Pick the job, then the tool. Each one has its own page and setup guide.
AI connections
Ask Claude or ChatGPT to draft scripts, build storyboards and summarise feedback in Boords, using your own account and role.
Every plan, Free included.
Connections
Get your own mentions, replies and followed comments as Slack DMs, and tell your own systems when a client approves a storyboard.
Slack on every plan. Webhooks on paid plans.
Production handoff
Take the approved board into the edit, with frame timings, notes and your soundtrack carried across.
Paid plans.
Presentation & planning
Turn the board into a client deck, a shot list or a script document in the formats your team and client already use.
Paid plans.
Formats
Download a print-ready PDF for sign-off, an animatic for timing, or every frame as an image.

Paid plans.
From approved board to edit
Once the client signs off, export the board for After Effects, Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Every frame arrives at its Boords timing with its notes, plus the soundtrack if your storyboard has one. No plugin to install.
Premiere Pro
.zip with an .xml timeline
Import the XML, click Locate and pick any one image, and get a 25fps sequence at Boords timings with notes on markers.
DaVinci Resolve
.zip with an .xml timeline
Add the unzipped folder in Media Storage, import the XML as a timeline, and get every frame at its Boords timing with notes on markers.
Sign off in Boords. Hand off to everything else.
Free includes AI connections, Slack DMs and PDF export. Paid plans add After Effects, Premiere Pro and Resolve, decks, shot lists, animatics, webhooks and the API.
