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.
