The "Generate storyboard" dialog is where you describe the video you want and let the app build a multi-shot storyboard for you. You fill in a short brief — platform, length, aspect ratio, topic, and any relevant info — and press generate.
How do I create a new storyboard?
Press Create new storyboard (or the create button in the Current storyboard panel). The "Generate storyboard" dialog opens with a short form. Fill it in and press Generate new storyboard at the bottom. You'll see "Creating storyboard. It'll be ready shortly." and the new storyboard appears in your list and starts building.
What do I fill in?
Platform — which channel the video is for: TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or YouTube. This tags the storyboard and tunes the result for that platform. (TikTok is the default.)
Length — the target length of the finished video. The options are 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes.
Aspect ratio — the frame shape: 9:16, 3:4, 16:9, 4:3, or 1:1. (9:16 is the default.)
Topic — the main subject of the video. This is required, and it's limited to 500 characters. The placeholder reads "Please enter the topic of the video".
Relevant info — optional extra context, with no character limit. The placeholder reads "Please enter information relevant to the video".
The model you've selected in the workstation supplies the look used throughout the storyboard's shots, so make sure the right model is chosen before you create.
Why is the Generate button greyed out?
The Generate new storyboard button stays disabled until you've entered a topic and a model is selected for the page. If you press it without a topic you'll see "Please enter your topic."; without a model you'll see "Please select a model."
How much does creating a storyboard cost?
The credit cost is shown right on the Generate button before you commit. It scales with the length you picked — a longer target length costs more to build. The exact rate is shown on the button and depends on your plan, so check the number there. See Credits & billing.
What happens after I press generate?
The dialog closes and the storyboard starts building in the background. While it builds, its card shows a loading spinner (and the editor shows a "Generating" overlay with a progress percentage if you open it). When it's done, the shots appear and you can edit them. If building fails, the card shows an error and you can recreate the storyboard.
What does "Storyboard ready" mean?
It means the app finished expanding your brief into shots — the storyboard's task succeeded and it can now be opened and edited. Until then it's still generating (or, for free users waiting behind others, "In queue"). You can't open or generate from a storyboard until it's ready.
Can I reuse the same brief?
Yes. From a storyboard's … menu choose Recreate to build a fresh storyboard from the same topic, info, platform, length, and aspect ratio. Inside the editor the same action is the Regenerate storyboard button in the top bar.
On mobile
Creating a storyboard opens a full-screen page titled "Generate storyboard" instead of a centered dialog. The same fields appear stacked vertically (Platform, Length, Aspect ratio, Topic, Relevant info), with the Generate new storyboard button pinned at the bottom.
