Local browser processing
Build a storyboard or contact sheet directly in the browser, without sending the video to a server.
Cutsio
Cutsio storyboard generator creates timestamped JPEG contact sheets in your browser—local processing, no upload, no signup, no watermark.
Overview
Cutsio’s storyboard generator is a browser-based tool for turning a video into a timestamped JPEG storyboard or video contact sheet. It is positioned as a lightweight utility for editors, clients, and producers who want a quick visual summary of footage without a traditional upload-and-export workflow.
The page says the file is processed locally in the browser, with no upload, no signup, and no watermark. Users can choose 9, 16, or 25 frames, then review, reorder, remove, or download individual frames before exporting the final contact sheet.
Features
Timestamped JPEG export
Generate one JPEG with labeled frames and timestamps for quick review and handoff.
Flexible frame layouts
Choose the frame count that fits the edit or review pass: 9, 16, or 25 frames.
Frame review controls
Review the generated frames before download, including the ability to reorder or remove individual frames.
Minimal setup
The page says the tool works without upload, signup, or watermarking, which keeps the workflow lightweight for one-off use.
Hardware-accelerated processing
The generator is described as hardware accelerated, which suggests it is intended to handle video processing in the browser efficiently.
Use Cases
Client and internal review
Editors can create a compact visual reference from a clip before a review session, helping a client or producer scan the footage without scrubbing the timeline.
Editorial selects and notes
Post-production teams can turn raw footage into a timestamped contact sheet for notes, selects, and discussion around specific moments.
Project handoff
Producers can use the JPEG export as a quick handoff artifact when they need to summarize what is in a video file.
Adjacent to library workflows
Teams already using Cutsio for broader media workflows can use the generator as a lightweight utility for individual videos while the main product covers searchable libraries and delivery.
