Once your storyboard is ready, the editor shows it as a row of shot cards. Each shot is a single prompt that describes what happens on screen, and you can add, remove, and reword shots. Your changes save automatically.
How is a shot built?
Each shot card is one prompt — a single text box where you describe that shot in plain language. Inside that prompt you can drop in references to your storyboard Elements (characters, backgrounds, products) and the voice model, which appear as inline @-pills. There are no separate boxes for voice-over text, a video prompt, or a first-frame image — the shot is just its prompt.
How do I add a reference to an Element or the voice model?
Two ways:
Click an Element chip or the voice pill in the row of chips at the top of the shot card — it inserts that reference at your cursor.
Type
@in the prompt to bring up the mention list and pick the Element (or voice model) from there.
Each reference becomes a pill in the text, so the app knows exactly which character, product, or voice you mean for that shot.
Is there a length limit on a shot's prompt?
Yes — each shot's prompt is limited to 500 characters. The card shows a live "current / 500" counter in the corner so you can see how much room is left.
How do I add a shot?
Scroll to the end of the row and click the Add shot card (labeled "Add a new shot to the storyboard"). A new shot is appended and saved; you'll see "Adding shot…" briefly. New shots start empty so you can write their prompt.
How do I delete a shot?
Open the … menu in the top-right of a shot card and choose Delete. The shot is removed and the storyboard re-saves; you'll see the toast "Clip deleted." (the app still says "clip" in this message even though the storyboard is built from shots). Deleting a shot is permanent.
How long is each shot, and where do I see the total?
Each shot's duration is computed by the app, not typed in — there's no per-shot duration box. The single Duration shown in the bottom bar is the storyboard's total (in whole seconds), and it refreshes every time your changes save. That total is what the final video cost is based on.
How do I reorder shots?
Shots appear in order from left to right, and that's the order they'll play in the final video. New shots are added at the end and shots are removed in place — there isn't a drag-to-reorder control, so plan the sequence as you build it. Use the left/right scroll buttons in the bottom bar (or scroll the row) to move along a long storyboard.
Do I have to save my changes?
No — the editor auto-saves. Edits are written to the server a couple of seconds after you stop typing, and there's a periodic safety save as well. Closing the editor or pressing Generate also flushes any pending edits. You may briefly see "Saving changes…".
What's the warning icon next to the title?
If your latest edits couldn't be saved, an info icon appears next to the storyboard topic. Hovering it explains that your changes can't be saved right now and that closing the editor would lose unsaved changes. If you close while out of sync, you'll be asked to confirm before losing them.
Why can't I edit my shots?
Once you've generated the final video, the storyboard locks and becomes view-only. Trying to edit a locked storyboard shows "You can't edit a storyboard after generating videos. Regenerate a storyboard to make changes." Use Regenerate storyboard (or Recreate) to get a fresh, editable copy.
On mobile
Editing opens a full-screen page. Shots are shown as cards you scroll through, with the Elements section and voice model laid out alongside them; the prompt, @-mentions, character counter, and add/delete behavior all work the same as on desktop. A shot-navigation control helps you jump between shots.
