Video storyboard
Turn motion into an ordered visual sequence
A reverse storyboard uses frames from an existing video to reveal its visual progression. Even sampling gives a broad overview; exact timestamps let you represent specific cuts, beats, or interactions.
The exported filenames preserve chronological order and the optional contact sheet provides a compact sequence for quick review.
Step-by-step
How to storyboard an existing video
Choose the sampling method based on whether timing or narrative beats matter more.
- 01
Load the clip
Use the complete video or define a smaller working range.
- 02
Choose Count mode
Start with 12 or 24 frames for an evenly distributed sequence.
- 03
Refine with exact times
Switch to Times mode when specific cuts or beats need representation.
- 04
Export the storyboard assets
Download the contact sheet and timestamped frame ZIP.

Can I choose exact scenes?
Yes. Use Times mode for a custom timecode list.
Can I export one combined image?
Yes. Enable the contact sheet.
Is this an AI storyboard generator?
No. It extracts real frames from your existing video.
