Analyzing & Editing Panels
TL;DR — Click Analyze Scene to let AI break your screenplay into shot panels, then fine-tune shot types, prompts, and panel order in edit mode.
The Editor Workspace
The storyboard editor has a toolbar at the top and a scrollable horizontal panel strip below it. In viewing mode you can browse panels; click Edit to enter edit mode where you can modify panels and access generation tools.
Analyzing a Scene
Click Analyze Scene and AI reads your screenplay text, breaking it into 4–12 panels. Each panel gets a shot type, camera angle, description, action, dialogue, character list, notes, and a composed image prompt. The editor enters edit mode automatically so you can review and adjust the results.
Re-analyzing Selected Panels
Select specific panels, then click Analyze(N) to re-analyze just those panels. This is useful when you’ve changed the screenplay or want a different breakdown for certain shots without redoing the entire scene.
Auto-Describe
If characters or locations are missing descriptions, click Auto-Describe. AI generates descriptions from the screenplay text so your image prompts have richer detail to work with.
Editing Shot Types
In edit mode, use the dropdown on each panel to change its shot type. Changing the shot type automatically updates the framing text in the image prompt to match.
Editing Image Prompts
Each panel has a textarea for its image prompt in edit mode. A style prefix is applied automatically and hidden from the editor — your edits are preserved separately so the prefix never gets in your way.
Inserting and Deleting Panels
Click the + button between any two panels to insert a new blank panel. To delete a panel, tap the delete button once to mark it, then tap again to confirm — the two-tap pattern prevents accidental deletions.
Selection Tools
Use Select All / Deselect to toggle the entire strip, or Invert to flip your current selection. Selected panel counts appear on toolbar buttons — for example, “Analyze(3)” or “Generate(5)” — so you always know how many panels an action will affect.
