Creating a Storyboard Scene by Scene
- Updated on December 2024
- Introduction
This workflow is ideal for users who prefer to develop their concept and script one scene at a time, completing each scene as they go. - Setup
In the left-side menu, navigate to Dashboard.
Select the second option: Type your concept and script scene by scene.
In the setup drawer, provide the storyboard title.
Customize the storyboard specifications according to your requirements.
Enter the brief.
Click Submit to create the new storyboard. - Creating Shots and Scenes
You will be taken to the Storyboard tab to create the first shot.
You may also opt to use AI to generate the concept and script for you.
Enter the title for the first shot and click Create.
Provide the title and description for the second shot under Scene 1.
Click the + button at the end of the row to create the shot.
To add a new scene, click the + button at the middle of the page.
Enter the scene title in the modal and click Create.
Repeat the process to create shots under the new scene. - Editing and Managing Shots and Scenes
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. - Updating the Shot Details
To provide the shot details, click the edit icon.
You will be redirected to the frame view for the shot.
In the Details tab, you can edit fields like action, main shot prompts, among others.
By default, the main action prompt mirrors the Description but you can modify it to better guide AI-generated imagery.
Keep the prompt specific and concise. A shorter prompt will be easier and will be less likely to confuse the AI generator.
To set a location for the shot, select from the drop-down list.
If no options are available, create locations first in the Locations section. Note that you need to set the location for every shot as the AI cannot reference locations from previous shots.
You may also configure the Shot Settings tab which is particularly useful for film production
Select options from the drop-down menus and enter additional settings as required.
Once finished with one shot, move on to the next. Shots are grouped by scenes in the navigator.
You can also add new shots within the same scene or use the Shot Overview for easy navigation between shots.
To delete a shot, click the trash bin icon at the top right-corner.
Confirm the action when prompted.
To exit the frame view, click the X button in the top-left corner. - Finalizing the Storyboard
The storyboard summary shows how many shots you have created and other details.
Once you are satisfied with the concept and script, click Generate Images to proceed with image generation.
