Previsboard
A client-facing layer on top of open-source previs tools that turns a single bundle into a shareable, versioned storyboard with comment threads and approval status.
small AI-film studios and freelance previs artists pitching to agencies or brand clients
- One-click branded storyboard page generated from a previs bundle, with cover art and a public share link
- Per-shot comment threads, annotation pins, and approve/request-changes status that clients can leave without a login
- Version diff view that highlights exactly what changed between two bundles (camera move, pose layer, depth preset)
- Light CRM that tracks which client saw which version and when, so follow-ups land at the right moment
Client approvals for AI video are still done over WeTransfer links and email threads; a 113-star open-source previs app is the moment a 'client UI' on top becomes a standalone business.

Direct or near-direct competitors already exist: M Studio (browser previs + storyboards + pitch cuts), Movi AI (AI video storyboard with client previews), Boords (AI storyboard with client sign-off), and a long list of Frame.io alternatives (Ziflow, Filestage, Krock, Wipster, TrunkTransfer, Vimeo Review).AI Previs Software — Motion Boards & Pitch Cuts | M Studio ↗15 Best Frame.io Alternatives + Free Trials in 2026 ↗
Bottom of the market is price-sensitive: TrunkTransfer charges $9/mo flat, and Frame.io alternatives compete heavily on price for agencies; small studios and freelancers pitching brands are notoriously cheap seats with weak willingness to pay for a niche client-UI layer.10 Best Frame.io Alternatives for Creative Agencies (2026) ↗Top 8 Frame.io alternatives for video review and approval in 2025 ↗
AI-video tooling is hot but churns fast; even incumbents like Frame.io saw backlash on V4 (2024) and the landscape shifts with every model release, putting niche wrappers at risk of being absorbed or sidelined by model vendors (Runway, Kling, ComfyUI).Best Frame.io Alternatives for Video and Creative Teams in 2026 ↗
Building a shareable web view, versioned bundles, comment threads, and approval state on top of an Electron+ffmpeg exporter is a standard CRUD + upload project and technically straightforward; the underlying repo already ships bundles and an MCP bridge for automation.GitHub - wassermanproductions/motion-previs-studio ↗
