Plan the shots before you press record.

How it works

Paste or write your script in the Script Timer, then draft your shots from it here. Each spoken line gets a suggested shot: talking to camera, your hands doing a step, a close-up of the detail, a hero shot of the result, or a screen recording. Each comes with a size, an angle and the reason for it. Change anything; they’re suggestions.

The coverage check looks for the things that make short videos hard to edit: no close-ups, a weak first frame, the same size and angle held too long, a payoff without your tightest shot, and talking with nothing to cut away to.

Batch by setup

Movies are shot out of order. The shoot plan groups your shots by setup, so you film everything in one spot and one light together. If you’re on camera alone, film the talking pass first, then a pass of hands and details straight after, while nothing has changed.

Common questions

Do I need a storyboard for a short video?

Not always. Script first, then storyboard, then shot list; for a quick video, a shot list on its own is often enough. Two rough drafts, then shoot: don’t spend an hour storyboarding a 10-second clip.

What’s the flip test?

Flip through your storyboard at the speed of the real video. If you’re bored by box four, so are viewers.

Why number shots like 3A and 3B?

One number per moment, a letter per angle. Say the number out loud or hold it up before each take, and you’ll find shot 3B in seconds when you edit.

Is my storyboard saved anywhere?

Only on your device, in My Studio. A helper link carries the shot list itself (not your sketches or photos) inside the link, so nothing is stored on a server.
