Page 1 of the Imaginarium webtoon, the panel of the burning plain highlighted — The burning plain
The opening panel shows a fire on the horizon. In the shot, the same fire is seen from high enough to show the curve of the planet.

How it works

From your pages to anime shots, in eight steps.

This is the process as it runs today, with the names of the tools your assistant calls. You approve the characters, and you start every generation yourself.

01
Connect your assistant
Add ScreenWeaver to Claude or ChatGPT with the server URL, or with the Add to Claude link in your account's Connected apps. You sign in and pick the projects it may open. The assistant built into the app has the same tools.
No credits
Set up the MCP
02
Create the series
Ask for a new series. The assistant creates the project in 16:9 for an anime or 9:16 for the phone, and writes a scene for each sequence of the episode, since shots live in scenes.
No credits
Tools called
- create_project
- edit_script
03
Import the pages
Send the episode as a PDF or as images. With panel detection on, every page is cut into its panels, each with a one-line caption of what it shows.
About 1 credit a page
Tools called
- create_upload
- import_media · findPanels
04
Check the cut
The assistant looks at the panels it cut. A panel that came out wrong is cut again from its page.
No credits
Tools called
- view_media
05
Name the cast and the places
It lists who and where comes back from panel to panel, asks you once which ones to create, then makes them story elements that every shot can cite.
No credits
Tools called
- list_entities
- create_entities
06
Panels become shots
One shot per panel, or one for several. Each shot gets an action, a framing, a camera movement and a duration. A tall panel can become a tilt, or two shots.
No credits
Tools called
- create_shots
- update_shot
07
The panel is the reference
Each panel is attached to its shot, and the frame prompt asks to redraw it in the project's format, keeping the composition and leaving out the speech bubbles.
No credits
Tools called
- add_reference_images
- set_prompt
08
Generate in the app
You open the Storyboard tab to generate the frames, then the Production canvas for the video. Generation never starts from the MCP: you decide what to spend.
Credits per frame and clip

Through the MCP, only panel detection and generation spend ScreenWeaver credits. With the assistant in the app, its replies are billed in credits too, up to 200 per request.

A long vertical strip goes in as a series of page-height images, not one very tall file: each image is scaled down to 1,568 px on its longest side before the panels are searched.

Guardrails

Your assistant asks before it spends or deletes.

The server enforces these rules, even for an assistant that skips the instructions.

Preview before deleting. Deleting shots first returns the list of what would go, and nothing is removed until you say yes.
A cost before spending. Panel detection costs about 1 credit per page, and the assistant asks you before going over 20 pages.
A credit ceiling. In the app, each request to the assistant is capped at 200 credits, with the running total shown next to Stop.
Only your chosen projects. When you connect it, you pick the projects your assistant may open. You can disconnect it any time in Connected apps.
You press generate. No frame or video is generated by the MCP. You start each generation in the app.

Panel to shot

A webtoon is almost a storyboard. Almost.

Panels have no duration and a scroll has no cut. Converting a webtoon to anime means filling that gap, one decision at a time.

Your webtoon has	An anime needs	In ScreenWeaver
Panels, in reading order	Shots, in cut order	Panels cut automatically, then a shot list you can reorder, split or merge
Gutters between panels	A duration for every shot	Duration set per shot, in seconds
Speech bubbles	Lines with a speaker and a performance	Frames redrawn without the bubbles, lines written into the script
A tall, narrow canvas	A 16:9 frame, or 9:16 for vertical	A 16:9 or 9:16 project, framing and camera movement chosen shot by shot
Characters drawn hundreds of times	Characters kept on model from shot to shot	Story elements cited in every shot, with your panels as references
Weekly chapters with a cliffhanger	Episodes with a running time	One project per series, scenes grouped in episodes

The right column is what ScreenWeaver does today, from your imported pages or from a screenplay.

Another way in

Rather write the adaptation first?

Some creators rewrite the episode as a screenplay before boarding it. That route works too, and it ends in the same storyboard.

01 · Adapt

Write the episode as a screenplay. For free.

Panel by panel, the action and the bubbles become scenes and dialogue. The free Screenwriter plan never expires.

02 · Board

Every scene becomes anime shots.

ScreenWeaver breaks the screenplay into shots and boards them. You decide framing, angle, movement and duration.

FAQ

Webtoon to anime questions

Can I convert a webtoon to anime with ScreenWeaver today?

Yes. You import the episode pages through the MCP (Claude, ChatGPT and other clients) or through the assistant built into the app. ScreenWeaver cuts out the panels, the assistant turns them into shots with your characters and places, and you generate the frames and the video in the app.

Do I need Claude or ChatGPT?

No. The assistant inside ScreenWeaver uses the same tools as the MCP: attach your pages to the conversation and ask. The MCP helps if you already work in Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code. Setup takes a few minutes and is explained on the MCP page.

Is there an import button in the app?

Not a separate one. You import by asking: the assistant in the app, or Claude and ChatGPT through the MCP, run the import and the panel detection for you.

Do I need the rights to the webtoon?

Yes. Adapt a webtoon you created, or one you hold the adaptation rights for. Public domain stories are open to everyone, Dracula for example, but reusing someone else's characters or designs without the rights is not allowed. Your ScreenWeaver projects are private and you own your work.

How does a vertical webtoon become a 16:9 anime?

Each panel becomes a shot in the project's format. A dialogue panel is usually cropped to the face. A tall panel becomes a camera move, a tilt for example, or two shots. You or the assistant set framing, camera movement and duration for every shot, and the frame is redrawn from the panel.

Can I keep the vertical format?

Yes. A project can be 16:9 or 9:16. Vertical suits readers who already follow your webtoon on their phone.

Will the anime look exactly like my drawings?

Not line for line. Each frame is generated with your panel and the character references as inputs, so the composition, the characters and the places carry over. Line work and colour can drift, and you regenerate a frame until it holds. Story elements keep your hero in shot 200 close to your hero in shot 1.

How do I keep a character the same from panel to panel?

The characters are created from your panels. Give each one a reference, a moodboard or a character sheet generated in Storyboard, name the character in the action of the shot, and set the style in Artistic direction.

Can I fix part of a shot after it is generated?

Yes. Seedance, built into ScreenWeaver, lets you retouch one part of a video instead of generating the whole clip again.

How much does it cost?

Panel detection costs about 1 credit per page (one credit is half a cent), and the assistant asks before going over 20 pages. Frames and videos are paid in credits when you generate them. Writing is free on the Screenwriter plan. The storyboard, the video and the MCP come with the Auteur plan at $39.99 a month, with 6,000 credits a month.

Has ScreenWeaver been used on real anime?

Yes. Imaginarium, the example on this page, is a webtoon adapted in ScreenWeaver. Voidborn, an animated short, won 1st Place Silver at the Mondial Chroma Awards. Lost Garden, an anime series of two episodes, was made by one person in ScreenWeaver.
