Previs Pro announces major update with Animatics and free access to all
Previs Pro, the developer of ground-breaking storyboarding software, today announced the release of Previs Pro 3 – a significant evolution that unlocks powerful new ways for film and video creators to visualize, plan, and communicate their stories. This update transforms the storyboarding platform into a fully animatic previsualization experience.
Introducing Animatics: Bringing storyboards to life
The centerpiece of the release is the introduction of Animatics, a game-changing feature that incorporates motion, timing, and pacing directly into the visual planning process. Users can now animate scenes moving cameras, actors, props, and lighting – offering a deeply immersive and accurate way to convey creative intent, without the steep learning curve of traditional 3D or video editing software.
Launching a new free pricing tier
In a major step toward accessibility, Previs Pro 3 also debuts a new free pricing tier, making its professional-grade tools available to everyone – from students and indie creators to studios and agencies. Free plan users can generate unlimited watermarked storyboards, use up to three AI-generated props, and create one animatic sequence.
Commenting on the update, Previs Pro’s Founder, Ian Lynch Smith, comments, ”With Previs Pro 3, creators can go beyond static frames – animating ideas, collaborating faster, and envisioning their stories like never before. Opening up the platform with a free tier is about more than just pricing – it’s about democratizing access to powerful creative tools. Whether you’re a student with a story to tell or a seasoned director shaping a pitch, we want everyone to have the ability to visualize ideas without friction.”
Light Grade and built-in AI-powered features
Another key advancement in Previs Pro 3 is the full release of Light Grade, which exits beta to become a core creative tool. Light Grade enables users to intuitively shape the lighting of their scenes, adjusting mood, time of day, and tone with just a few taps or natural language prompts. This feature significantly accelerates visual development and enhances pre-production quality.
Thanks to its built-in AI-powered features, Previs Pro centers you as the creator of each shot; framing, blocking, and styling your scenes with custom props and lighting conditions. AI is used to smooth the output without changing your directorial choices.
With Previs Pro 3, creators now have access to the best-designed, most flexible, and simplest storyboarding and animatics software available for Apple devices. By combining intuitive design with powerful features like Animatics, Light Grade, and AI-driven tools – now available even in a free tier – Previs Pro empowers storytellers of all levels to bring their visions to life with clarity, speed, and creative control.
