You might expect to be able to start a storyboard from a video you already have — point APOB at a clip and let it rebuild the structure into an editable storyboard. This isn't currently available. The storyboard creator only offers the from-scratch brief; there's no way to clone an existing video into a storyboard.
Can I clone a video into a storyboard?
No. The storyboard creator (Create new storyboard in Storyboard to video) opens a single from-scratch brief — there's no "Clone video" tab, no paste-a-link field, and no video-upload import. The only way to start a storyboard is to fill in the brief.
What does the storyboard creator ask for instead?
It's a from-scratch brief. You fill in:
Topic — what the video is about.
Platform — where you plan to post it.
Length — roughly how long the video should be.
Aspect ratio — the frame shape.
Relevant info — any extra details you want the storyboard to take into account.
APOB then builds an editable storyboard — a set of shots, each with its own prompt — that you can edit before generating the final video. See Create a storyboard and The storyboard editor.
I already have footage I want to work with — what can I do?
The storyboard flow won't import an existing video, but other workstation tools work directly on footage you already have:
Edit Video — make edits to an existing clip (character, motion, style, background, face swap, upscale, and more).
Add Subtitles — burn styled, timed captions onto a short video.
For a brand-new storyboard, start from the brief above with Create a storyboard.
