Plan Shots. Generate Keyframes. Animate in Studio.

Storyboard examples

Coverage, character elements, vertical hooks, and keyframes → video — tap a tile to jump in.

• 

  Commercial & product coverage

  Plan a hero wide, product close-up, and action beat for a 30-second spot. Coverage mode gives distinct framings so your cut reads like real coverage, not four similar stills.

• 

  Character scenes with elements

  Save character and location elements in Studio, attach reference photos, then regenerate single shots without rebuilding the whole sequence.

• 

  Shorts, Reels, and 9:16 hooks

  Storyboard the first three seconds before you animate. One action per shot keeps image-to-video takes usable.

• 

  Storyboard to video in one pipeline

  Panels are keyframes, not the final edit. Animate each approved frame in Studio or batch to Reference — the same assets you already generated.

Pick your path & generation mode

Quick vs Studio on this page — then Coverage for real shot sizes or Consistency for anchor-frame edits.

• Quick 4-shot

  Pitch by EOD, previz, testing a look

• Storyboard Studio

  Multi-shot projects, elements, exports, per-shot fixes

• Coverage

  Use for ads, dialogue scenes, and any sequence where size and angle must change shot to shot.

• Consistency

  Use for mood boards, style tests, and sequences where the camera position stays similar.

Storyboard workflows by use case

Match the job you are holding — not every board needs twenty panels on day one.

• 

  60-second ad previz

  Beat sheet → 8–12 shots → one action per panel → generate keyframes → animate hero frames in Studio. Export ZIP for the team.

• 

  YouTube Shorts & social hooks

  Four Quick frames for hook, context, turn, and button. Pick 9:16 aspect ratio before generate, then animate the hook frame first.

• 

  Script to storyboard to video

  Paste scene intent into Studio, assign shot types and duration, lock elements, export Markdown shot notes, then I2V per approved frame.

Script to storyboard to video on Reeldo

Skipping storyboard pushes cost into endless video regenerations. This is the pipeline Reeldo is built for.

1. 01

   Plan beats & shots

   Length, VO or no VO, and shot count first. Each shot = one on-screen action.

2. 02

   Generate keyframes

   Quick or Studio with Coverage or Consistency. Lock characters with elements when continuity matters.

3. 03

   Animate panels

   Image-to-video per frame, or Reference Studio for motion guided by multiple stills.

4. 04

   Edit & sound

   Download clips from Studio, cut on motion, add VO and music in your NLE — the board already proved pacing.

Reeldo storyboard vs typical storyboard software

Tools like Boords excel at client review links and animatics. Reeldo storyboard is for teams that need panels to become AI video in the same workspace.

Storyboard credits (estimate)

• Quick 4-shot · Consistency

  ~19 credits

  1× text-to-image + 3× anchor edits

• Quick 4-shot · Coverage

  ~16 credits

  4× independent text-to-image frames

• Studio · 8 shots · Coverage

  ~32 credits

  Scales linearly with shot count in Coverage mode

Video generation is billed separately in Studio. Storyboard only charges image credits.
