Creating with AI
Storyboard
Plan a multi-shot film on a timeline, render every shot, and export the whole thing as one video.
Longer than one model can render
Starting a film
Give it a name and a brief, for example "a 60s summer perfume ad, cinematic, golden hour, ending on the bottle." Pick a video type from thirteen frameworks (Commercial / Brand Film, UGC / Creator, Social Hook / Viral, Fashion Lookbook, E-Commerce Ad, Product 360, Cinematic / Film, Lifestyle, Luxury / Premium, Food & Beverage, Testimonial / Review, Explainer / Demo, or Brand Story), a total length from 15 to 60 seconds, and a format.
Building the storyboard
Suggest shots or Autopilot will generate a full storyboard from your brief in one step; either replaces whatever shots already exist, so use them early. Individual shots are capped at 15 seconds each. The timeline shows every shot as a draggable, reorderable block sized to its duration, alongside your planned length and an estimated token total for the whole thing.
If you'd rather start from something proven, Get inspired opens a gallery of twelve references, some of them ready-made storyboards you can use as-is, others that build with AI from a short description.
Editing a shot
Open any shot to set its name, start and end frames (end frames need Seedance or Kling 3.0), up to four reference images (seven on Vidu), the motion or direction prompt, an optional Avoid field, its length, and its model, or leave it on Auto.
Rendering
Generate all renders every shot that has both a description and either a start frame or references. Shots without either are skipped with a reminder of what's missing. A shot that continues another waits for its parent, then takes that clip's last frame as its own start frame. If rendering takes a while, it keeps going in the background; the finished clips appear in your Library shortly after, no need to regenerate.
Exporting
Once every shot has rendered, Export renders the whole timeline down to a single video in the order the clips sit on the track. You still get each clip on its own if you want it — the export is in addition to them, not instead.
