The Storyboard is a second view of your project: an infinite board where you generate and arrange images, clips, audio and notes before they go on the timeline. Use it to explore looks side by side and build a shot list scene by scene. The chat agent remains the primary way to generate; the board is where you compare options visually, and the agent can build and edit it for you.

​
Open the Storyboard

Click Storyboard in the footer, next to Timeline. The board and the timeline share the same project and Media pool. Click Timeline to switch back.

​
What’s on the board

  • Nodes. Images, videos, audio and text notes, each shown as a card on the board.
  • Scene frames. Frames that group nodes into one shot, so a storyboard reads left to right as a sequence. Ask the agent to lay them out for you.
  • Tool rail. On the left: Select to pan and select, Text to add a note, Media pool to open your assets. Drop files anywhere on the page to add them.
  • Top bar. Undo and redo, the project title and the current zoom level (100% to start).
An empty board reads “Drop files anywhere on the page or start with…” and offers Generate images, Generate a video, Synthesize speech and Generate music.

​
Generate from the prompt bar

The prompt bar at the bottom of the board generates straight onto the canvas.

Write the prompt

Type into the prompt bar (placeholder: “Generate or edit assets. Navigate prompt history with [ALT + Arrow Keys]”). Use ⌥ (Alt) + arrow keys to step through your prompt history. Click the enhance-prompt button to expand a short idea into a fuller prompt.

Set the model and options

The model chip shows the current model; click Add Models to pick another. Use the type icons to choose image, video or audio, the aspect menu (Auto-select, Square (1:1), Landscape (16:9), Portrait (9:16), Standard (4:3), Portrait (3:4), Cinematic (21:9)), and the variants selector, which reads Auto unless you set a number.

Generate

Click send. New nodes appear with a Generating… status and fill in when ready. The bar also edits assets: select a node and describe the change.

Credit costs are the same as in the chat. See Generate images and Generate video for the models and what they’re good at.

​
Node actions

Select a node to work with it. From a node you can make more takes of the same prompt, turn an image into a video clip, upscale it, add sound to a silent clip, or add it to the Media pool. The same requests work in the chat (“animate the second option”, “upscale the one on the left”), which is often faster.

​
Get shots onto the timeline

  • Drag a node. Drag it from the board onto the timeline, or add it to the Media pool first and place it from there.
  • Assemble. Once each Scene frame holds the shot you want, ask the agent to assemble the scenes on the timeline in order.

​
Ask the agent

The agent edits the board through the canvas-edit skill. It creates, renames, reorders and removes Scene frames, places media and notes, and shows placeholders on the board while generations run.
/storyboard runs the storyboard-preview skill: a review-ready storyboard of the current project, one card per shot. /director goes further and runs the whole pipeline (Concept → Structure → Draft → Refine → Polish → Export), generating reference images and shots into the board and assembling them.

​
Tips

  • One idea per Scene frame. Put recurring details (character description, palette, “golden hour”) in a text note inside the frame so every generation repeats them.
  • Vary shot size between neighboring scenes: wide, then medium, then close.
  • Roughly one scene per 3 to 5 seconds of target length. A 30-second promo is 6 to 10 frames.
  • Generate 2 to 4 variants, pick one per scene, then assemble. Iterate on the board, not on the timeline.
