Storyboard to video turns a brief 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 Video brief, 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 — fill in the inline Create new storyboard form and press Generate in the workstation's bottom bar. 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 finished video is produced from a snapshot, while the live storyboard stays editable and can be rendered again.
Where do I find Storyboard to video?
It's one of the content tools in the workstation. Open it with a selected portrait model or in No Model mode; the inline Create new storyboard form lets you choose the platform, length, aspect ratio, Elements, and Video brief. After the current creation context has at least one storyboard, the form also shows History Storyboards; press View History to switch the generation feed to storyboard results. In No Model mode, APOB supplies its default generation model behind the scenes without showing a portrait-model chip or card.
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 brief 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?
Use View History in the creation form to filter the generation feed to storyboard results. A new storyboard's feed card shows its Brief, Elements, and shots; select Generate from Storyboard to open it in the editor. You can also open a storyboard's detail page and use Regenerate storyboard to create a new storyboard from its supported inputs. Older storyboard results remain read-only but can still be regenerated into the latest format.
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. Storyboard creation uses the current server-provided per-second rate multiplied by the selected Length, with no additional Element charge; Regenerate storyboard uses that rate multiplied by the duration its request will submit, even if later shot edits change its current total Duration; final-video rendering depends on its duration and selected quality/resolution. See Quality, resolution & cost and Credits & billing.
On mobile
Open the mobile workstation sheet to use the same creation flow. Platform, Length, Aspect ratio, Video brief, and Element chips are stacked in the sheet, while Generate stays in the bottom workstation bar. 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 above the Generate button.
