Storyboard to video (storyboard)

L
Written by LX

Storyboard to video turns a topic into a multi-shot AI video. You first create a storyboard — a brief plus a sequence of shots — then edit those shots and generate the final video from them. It's built for marketers and creators who want a narrated, on-brand short video without editing it clip by clip.

What is a storyboard?

A storyboard is the plan for your video. It starts from a short brief (your topic, some relevant info, a target platform, a length, and an aspect ratio) and the app expands that into a series of shots. Each shot has a single prompt that describes what happens on screen, and the whole storyboard shares a pool of Elements (characters, backgrounds, products) and one voice model for narration. Once you're happy with the shots, you generate the final video.

How does the whole flow work?

  • Create the storyboard — open the create dialog, fill in the brief, and press "Generate new storyboard". The app builds the shots for you.

  • Edit the shots — open the storyboard to refine each shot's prompt, add or reference Elements, pick the voice model, and add or remove shots.

  • Generate the video — choose your quality and resolution, then press Generate. The storyboard locks and the finished video is produced.

Where do I find Storyboard to video?

It's one of the content tools in the workstation. When you open it you'll see your Current storyboard on the left and a History storyboards list on the right (with a "View history" link to older storyboards). If you haven't made one yet, you'll see "Create your first storyboard to get started!" and a "Create new storyboard" button. You need a model selected for the page — without one, creating a storyboard shows "Please select a model."

What does the editor look like?

When you open a storyboard you get a full-screen editor with three regions:

  • Top bar — your storyboard's topic plus tags (platform, length, aspect ratio), the Voice model selector, and a "Regenerate storyboard" button.

  • Shot area — a horizontal row of cards: first an Elements column, then one card per shot, then an "Add shot" card at the end.

  • Bottom bar — left/right scroll buttons, the Resolution and Quality controls, the per-second credit cost, the total Duration, and the Generate button.

Why can't I open my storyboard yet?

If the storyboard is still being built you'll see a "Generating" overlay with a progress percentage (free users in a queue may see "In queue" with an upgrade prompt). Wait for it to finish — if you tap it too early you'll get "The storyboard is not ready yet." If building failed, the card shows an error and you'll need to recreate it.

How do I manage my storyboards?

Each storyboard in the History list (and the Current storyboard card) has a menu. From there you can Recreate it (build a fresh copy from the same brief) or Delete it. Deleting shows "Storyboard deleted." Older storyboards from the previous storyboard format appear under View history as read-only items — you can open them to view, or Recreate them into a new storyboard.

What does it cost?

Two things cost credits: building the storyboard, and rendering the final video. Both amounts are shown on their Generate buttons before you commit, and they depend on your plan, the length, and the quality/resolution you pick. See Quality, resolution & cost and Credits & billing.

The layout is the same idea but stacked: creating a storyboard opens a full-screen page (not a centered dialog), and editing a storyboard opens a full-screen page with the shots, Elements, and voice model laid out vertically and the Resolution / Quality / cost / duration controls along the bottom above the Generate button.
