Turn a Script Into Storyboards
Split a script into shots, generate storyboard images, and continue into video clips.
What this workflow does
This workflow turns a script into a set of visual shots.
Use it when a video needs more than one moment. A Script node gives each shot its own row, so you can check the order before spending credits on video generation.
Do not put a full multi-shot video into one long prompt first. Split it, review it, then generate.
What a Script node contains
A Script node can hold a production script table.
Common columns include:
ShotDurationCharacterDialogueImage PromptVideo Prompt
Each row should describe one shot. If one row contains two different moments, split it.
Create storyboards from a script
- Add a
Scriptnode. - Paste a short script, write one manually, or generate one from a connected Text node.
- Review the rows in the script table.
- Add, delete, merge, or reorder shots until the sequence is clear.
- Check the
Image Promptfor each row. - Use
Create batch image nodesto create storyboard image nodes. - Generate the images.
- Review the images in order.
If an image prompt is too vague, fix that row before generating more.
Turn storyboards into video clips
After every storyboard image looks usable:
- Keep the images in order.
- Review the
Video Promptfor each shot. - Use batch video creation when the storyboard group is ready.
- Generate short video clips from the storyboard images.
- Replace weak clips before combining anything.
This keeps the video workflow readable: script -> storyboard images -> video clips -> final composition.
Script tools worth using
Use Full screen when the script table is hard to review inside the canvas.
Use these table actions when needed:
Add Shotfor a missing momentMergewhen two rows are really one shot- reorder rows when the sequence feels wrong
Copy Video Promptswhen you want to reuse prompts elsewhereCopy Tablewhen you need to review the script outside the canvas
Keep each shot simple
Each shot should answer four questions:
- Who or what is in the shot?
- Where is it happening?
- What is the main action?
- What should the viewer notice?
Keep the row specific, but not overloaded. A simple row is easier to generate and easier to repair.
Next step
After the storyboard images work, use Generate a Video From an Image for each key shot.
