Creating a Storyboard from a CSV File

This workflow is ideal for users with a ready script and want to upload it in bulk to the platform.

1: Access the CSV Upload Option

• In the left-side menu, navigate to the Dashboard.
• Select the third option (Upload your concept and script in a CSV file).
• In the drawer, provide the storyboard title.
• Define the aspect ratio.

2: Prepare Your CSV File

• To import your script:
  • Begin by downloading the template.
  • Open the template file.
  • Refer to the sample script within the template for guidance.
• Each row represents a separate shot in a scene.
• A scene may comprise one or multiple shots.
• Each shot should share the same scene number and title.
• Only the description field is required; you may leave the rest blank.

 3: Follow Import Rules

• For the Type, Perspective, Movement, Camera, Focus, and Lighting fields, use only the options listed in the import template or in the Settings tab under frame view.
• Any value outside those options will cause the import to fail.
• For the Location field, make sure the location already exists on the platform.
• If not, create it first in the Locations section.

 4: Finalize and Upload

• Enter your script into the file and remove the sample script.
• Save the file.
• Click Upload CSV.
• Select the completed file and click Open.
• Click Submit to create the new storyboard.
• If the import is successful, you will be taken to the list view within the Storyboard tab.

 5: Managing Scenes and Shots

• To add a shot, click the + button at the end of the row.
• Enter the title and description in the textbox.
• To save, click the + button again at the end of the row.
• To add another scene, click the + button at the middle of the page.
• Enter the scene title in the modal and click Create.
• To edit a scene or shot title/description, click on them and make the changes.
• Rearrange scenes by dragging them to desired positions.
• Similarly, rearrange shots within scenes or to other scenes.
• To delete a scene or shot, click the corresponding trash bin icon and confirm the action.
• To modify the shot details, click the edit icon. You will be redirected to the frame view.

 6: Review and Generate Images

• The storyboard summary shows how many shots there are and other details.
• Once you are satisfied with the concept and script, click Generate Images to proceed with generating the picture.
