Storyboard and AI generation
Shape the story first, create only the shots you need, and carry the approved plan into the edit.
Planning does not generate media
The Storyboard is an editable planning layer. Automatic planning creates structured scenes and cards, not billable images or videos. Review the plan before you choose which cards to generate.
- Open the Storyboard workspace and choose Create with AI, or start with a blank scene.
- Describe the concept, format, target duration, scene count, and visual style when creating a plan.
- Use the Visual Context shelf to organize Shot Visual, Character, Location, and Prop references.
- Create the plan and edit titles, action beats, visual direction, dialogue, duration, and camera notes.
- Lock finished cards before revising a scene or the full plan.
Generate storyboard shots
- Select one card, a scene, or a bounded batch of cards.
- Choose image or video generation and review the model, inputs, and displayed cost estimate.
- Start generation. Editing remains available while the job runs.
- Inspect completed outputs and choose the take you want the card to use.
- Retry only when you intend to create another billable provider request.

Send the storyboard to the timeline
Storyboard sync builds normal, editable scene sequences from chosen takes and card durations. Timeline transitions remain owned by the Timeline. Manual timing, effects, transitions, and other anchored edits are preserved rather than overwritten silently.
- Keep Timeline preserves the existing edit when a sync conflict appears.
- Apply Storyboard updates storyboard-owned structure while retaining timeline-owned transitions.
- The complete synchronization can be undone or redone as one operation.
