How your script becomes shots
Paste, upload, or generate a script, then Greenlight it. The studio breaks it into scenes and shots you can edit.

Every Storyboard Mode project starts on the Shots tab with Upload Your Script. Once you Greenlight a script, the studio reads it and breaks it into scenes and shots, each with a ready-made prompt. You can edit any of them before you generate anything.
Four ways to bring in a script
| Tab | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Paste Text | You already have the script in a document. Paste the whole thing. |
| Upload File | You have a file. Drag it in or browse; .docx, .txt, and .md files are supported. |
| Generate Script | You have an idea but no script. Describe it, choose a length, and the studio drafts one you can edit. |
| Shot List | You have already planned your shots. Paste the list and press Analyze Shot List; your wording is kept as written. |
Some workspaces also see an Audio Sermon tab, which starts the script from a sermon recording.
Greenlight the script
Press Greenlight Script when the text is ready. If you want a specific number of shots, enter it in Target shot count first; leave it on Auto to let the studio decide from the pacing of the script.
When it finishes you will see the script beside the shot list. Each shot has a description, the characters and location in it, and any spoken line.
Edit before you generate
The prompts are a starting point. Change any shot's wording, add or remove shots, and fix who is in each one before you move on to images. What you see in a prompt box is what gets generated, including dialogue.
Tips for scripts that parse well
- Write scene headings or clear breaks between scenes.
- Name each character the same way every time.
- Put spoken lines in quotes so the studio can tell dialogue from narration.
Bible verses: when the studio writes shot prompts it paraphrases verse text, because some video models refuse prompts that quote scripture word for word. The exact verse stays in your narration, so viewers still hear it.
