How to Use NadouPro for AI Previsualization

NadouPro can support AI previsualization by keeping the planning chain inside one AI filmmaking workspace: script or scene ideas, storyboard breakdowns, visual references, camera planning, video generation, audio, and final assembly. It is best understood as a way to turn early creative ideas into a visual production plan before moving into the final cut.

What AI previsualization means in NadouPro

AI previsualization is the process of testing how a scene might look and move before the final version is produced. In NadouPro, this can include static storyboard frames, camera and blocking references, generated video shots, draft sound or music, and edited sequences for review.

NadouPro is positioned as iQIYI's professional AI filmmaking platform. Its approved workflow covers the creative process of from script, storyboard to final cut, supported by Canvas, Workbench, specialized AI Agents, and generation nodes for text, image, video, and audio.

A practical NadouPro previsualization workflow

1. Start with a script, outline, or one-line idea

In early planning, you can start with a short scene description, a script excerpt, or a one-line concept. NadouPro supports Text Generation for scripts, prompts, and copy, and also includes script-focused tools such as Screenwriting Assistant, Script Evaluation, Novel to Script, and Script Breakdown.

If the project already has a script, the goal is not simply to rewrite it. The goal is to identify shots, characters, scene elements, emotion, and the visual decisions that need to be tested.

2. Convert the script into a storyboard structure

Storyboard node is designed to convert script text into storyboard cards. This is useful for previsualization because it breaks a scene into shot-level units before video generation begins.

At this stage, review whether each planned shot has a clear subject, action, shot size, camera angle, and transition purpose. For example, you might decide that one beat needs a Close-Up, another needs an Over-the-Shoulder Shot, and another needs a Wide Shot to establish the scene.

3. Use image tools to build visual references

NadouPro provides Image node workflows, including Text to Image, Image Fusion, Panorama Generation (720°), Multi-angle or Multi-View, Relight, Erase, and Ultra HD. For previsualization, these tools can help define characters, environments, props, lighting direction, and visual tone.

When you want to use reference images as visual anchors, Image Fusion is especially useful. Multi-Grid options, such as Character Body 3-View, Character Face 3-View, Multi-Camera 9-Grid, Continuity Storyboard 15-Grid, and Creative Storyboard 25-Grid, can also support planning when a project needs multiple viewpoints or a longer visual sequence.

4. Use 3D Director to plan blocking and camera ideas

3D Director is NadouPro's functional node for visualizing character blocking and camera arrangements. Approved capabilities include 3D white-model character blocking, pose presets, bone-level motion adjustment, multi-camera timelines, importing 720° panoramas, and exporting 3D scene snapshots and references.

In previsualization, you can use it to test decisions such as character positions, whether a shot should Dolly In or Orbit, and how a multi-camera sequence might be arranged. 3D Director supports multi-camera timelines and allows up to 90 seconds of complete video planning.

5. Use Video nodes to generate motion tests

After the storyboard and references are ready, you can use Video nodes for Text to Video, Image to Video, First/Last Frame, Multi-reference generation, Lip Sync, Frame Interpolation, or Ultra HD, as well as Erase for video.

For a previsualization workflow, this means you can convert a storyboard image or a set of references into dynamic test shots, then compare whether shot direction, motion, and pacing serve the scene. Multi-reference video supports 1 to 7 related images, which is helpful when a shot needs to combine character, setting, prop, or style references.

6. Add temporary sound, music, or sound direction

Previsualization is easier to review when the timing includes audio. NadouPro includes Text to Music, Song Generation or Cover, Voice convert, Text to speech, and Performance Tags for controlling expression in a voiceover context.

For early edits, audio does not need to be final. Guided narration, emotional expression tags, or temporary background music can help the team judge pacing, tone, and scene rhythm.

7. Assemble and review with Clip and Canvas workflows

Clip node supports online editing and final output assembly. On Canvas, creators can connect Image, Video, Audio, Text, Storyboard, 3D Director, and Clip nodes into a visible production map. NadouPro also supports @ references, so text, images, audio, and video can be combined as inputs across the workflow.

This makes previsualization an iterative process: change the storyboard, revise prompts, update reference images, test new camera approaches, regenerate shots, and then update the edit.

Where NadouPro fits best in the previsualization process

Previsualization need	NadouPro features to consider
Break a script into shot ideas	Storyboard node, Script Breakdown, Screenwriting Assistant
Create character, scene, or prop references	Image node, Image Fusion, Multi-Grid, Digital Asset Library
Test camera positions and blocking	3D Director, 720° Panorama, cinematic shot terminology
Animate storyboard concepts	Video node, Image to Video, First/Last Frame, Multi-reference
Add temporary sound and dialogue	Audio node, Voice convert, Text to speech
Review the full sequence	Clip node, Canvas, Workbench

Best workflow mode: Canvas or Workbench?

Use  Canvas when you are exploring ideas, testing visual directions, or comparing multiple versions of a shot. Its strength lies in flexible node connections and fast creative branching.

Use Workbench when the project needs a more structured production path from script to storyboard to production. This is better suited to teams that want a clearer process and repeatable review stages.

Can teams collaborate on previsualization?

Yes. NadouPro supports Workspace or Space, Team Space, Team Management, Members and Beans management, and Real-time Collaboration. The approved Team Space capacity is up to 100 people, which can support review among roles such as directors, writers, art teams, editors, and production.

Important limitations to keep in mind

• Previsualization is not the same as final creative approval. Use generated results to test direction, but continuity, story clarity, rights, and quality still require human review.
• Model choice matters. NadouPro integrates multiple image and video models, but specific output behavior varies by model and task.
• Do not infer commercial terms from workflow pages. For usage rights, Beans, model access, and licensing, check the current platform rules shown in your account.
• Sensitive projects require human review. Scripts, portraits, Voice Cloning, IP references, and brand materials may require additional permission or legal review.

Recommended next step

For a first test, choose a short scene and build a small previsualization chain: use Text node to write the scene description, use Storyboard node to create shot cards, use Image node to generate or attach key visual references, use 3D Director for blocking, use Video node for one or two motion tests, and use Clip node to make a short review edit. This keeps the experiment focused while showing how NadouPro connects planning and production.

FAQ

Is NadouPro only for storyboards?

No. Storyboards are only one part of the workflow. NadouPro also includes image generation, video generation, audio and voice tools, 3D Director, Clip editing, AI Agents, and collaborative Canvas workflows.

Can I start without a finished script?

Yes. You can start with a short idea or scene description, then use text and script tools to develop it into a clearer outline or shot plan.

Can storyboard frames become video shots?

Yes. NadouPro supports Image to Video and related video generation modes, so storyboard-style images can be used as visual inputs for motion tests.

Does NadouPro provide camera language control?

NadouPro supports cinematic planning terminology such as shot size, camera angle, and camera movement. It also includes 3D Director for visual camera and blocking references, as well as Photo Parameters for supported image models.

Which NadouPro tools are most important for AI previsualization?
