Stage 3 · Script and storyboard

No gatesBrowser or Mac appUpdated 2026-09-25

AI writes the script and reads it back, then breaks it into shots matched to your approved footage. A pre-production check keeps out the slideshow feel.

The steps

3a

Script

Where：Browser or Mac app
What AI doesWrites the script from the topic card and fact ledger, then checks its own flow, line breaks, brand names, numbers, AI-sounding phrasing and length.
What you doRead it and say what to change in the chat; it revises and shows you again.
3b

Storyboard

Where：Browser or Mac app
What AI doesBreaks the script into shots and gives each one footage and a visual treatment; the pre-production check flags pacing that would feel like slides.
What you doCheck each shot, and ask for other footage or another treatment wherever it's off.

Gates

This stage has no gate: once AI finishes, you can move on — and ask for changes in the chat at any time.

Tips

  • The script checks its own line breaks, numbers and AI-sounding phrasing; focus your read on facts and tone.
  • Every shot in the storyboard shows where its footage came from; to swap footage, just ask in the chat.
  • If the pre-production check fails, the page names the shots and the reason.
