Turn a storyboard of images into video

How it works

1. 01

   Assemble the frames

   Add an image from the Studio library or upload your own. The first image becomes the backdrop of the frame, the next ones sit on top as separate layers and you move them with the mouse.

2. 02

   Describe the motion

   Every frame has a "Motion in frame" field: what the camera does and what happens in the scene. Leave it empty and a neutral camera move is used.

3. 03

   Test one frame

   "Animate frame" makes a clip from the selected frame only, without starting the whole build. That is how you check a description before running the rest of the frames.

4. 04

   Build the reel

   "Build reel" animates every filled frame and stitches them into one file. The library then holds both the finished reel and a separate clip for each frame.

What it does

Input

Images from the Studio library or uploaded from your device, plus a motion description for each frame

Frames per storyboard

Up to 12; only frames that have an image go into the build

Frame length

5 seconds, the same for every frame

Reel length

The sum of the frame lengths: up to 60 seconds on a full storyboard

Layers in a frame

The first image is the backdrop, the next ones sit as separate layers and are rearranged with the mouse

Frame composition

Before animation the frame with all its layers is flattened into one 1280×720 image at a 16:9 aspect ratio

Uploading your own images

Roughly up to 20 MB per file

Output

One MP4 reel plus a separate clip for each frame, all in the library

Unified sheet

A separate mode: every frame on one image with a title, numbers and captions, up to 4 variants
