Start from a ready-made template
Pick a board to see what you can build, then let AI fill it in. Every template is a real, editable starting point on the same infinite canvas.
Storyboard
Lay out your shots frame by frame with images and notes, then reorder them until the sequence reads like the finished cut.
What is a video storyboard?
A video storyboard is a frame-by-frame plan of a video before anything gets filmed: what each shot shows, what gets said over it, and how the whole piece flows from hook to call to action. Storyflow is an AI visual workspace that plans your video before the shoot on one infinite canvas: scenes and structure laid out by the AI, a shot list beside the frames, reference clips, and notes. Client videos, social content, course lessons, and brand films all profit from a storyboard, because it surfaces pacing problems and missing shots while they are still cheap to fix.
Storyflow turns video storyboarding from an afternoon of slide-deck wrangling into minutes of work. Describe the video or paste the script, and the AI lays out a video storyboard with scenes, structure, and notes on an infinite canvas. Then you make it yours: drag frames into a new order, drop reference clips and YouTube or Vimeo frame grabs next to the board, and sketch over frames with the pen tool.
Because the shot list, the references, and the video storyboard share one canvas, the plan you bring to the shoot is complete. No tab-switching between a deck, a doc, and a folder of screenshots.
Ultra fast from brief to board
Make a video storyboard in four steps.
From a rough idea or a finished script to a board the whole production can read.
01
Open a canvas
Sign up and start mapping the video right away. Nothing to install, just a canvas in your browser tab.
02
Describe the video
Tell the AI what you are making, or paste the script. It lays out a storyboard with the hook, sections, and CTA mapped as frames.
03
Add references and a shot list
Grab frames from YouTube or Vimeo references, drop in clips and images, and branch the board into a shot list on the same canvas.
04
Refine, share, export
Re-order frames until the pacing works, share a view-only link with the client or team, or export the board as an image or PDF.
Everything the shoot needs, on one board.
A video storyboard in Storyflow is not a static grid. References, shot lists, and notes live next to the frames.
AI lays out the structure from a prompt or script
Generate the board, then make it yours
Describe the video and the AI maps scenes, sections, and notes onto the canvas. You re-arrange, rewrite, and re-prompt until the flow matches what is in your head.

Shot list and storyboard on the same canvas
Pair every frame with a shot
Branch the storyboard into a shot list without leaving the board. Shot size, angle, and movement sit next to the frame they cover, so nothing gets lost between planning and filming.

Stills captured from reference videos, pinned to your frames
Pin reference clips next to your frames
Found the exact transition or framing you want in another video? Capture a still from YouTube or Vimeo straight onto the canvas and pin it beside the frame it inspires.

Client sign-off on a link instead of an attachment
Get sign-off before the shoot
Share a view-only link so clients approve the video storyboard without signing up, or export a clean PDF for the brief. One round of feedback on the board beats five on the edit.

Built for people with taste
A video storyboard maker that thinks in beats.
Videos live or die on structure. Storyflow keeps the brief, the beats, and the shot list visible on one board.
Hook, body, CTA mapped as frames
Structure the video before you script it
Hook to CTA in one view: Lay out the opening hook, each section, and the call to action as frames, so the whole arc is visible at a glance.
Frameworks built in: Use storytelling frameworks and beat structures to shape the video, or let the AI suggest one that fits the format.
Notes on every frame: Voiceover lines, on-screen text, and b-roll ideas sit next to the frame they belong to.
Briefs and boards in one place
Built for client work
Brief next to the board: Drop the client brief, brand assets, and references on the same canvas as the storyboard. Everyone argues from the same page.
Faster approvals: Send a view-only link instead of attaching a deck. Clients see the storyboard exactly as you built it.
Pitch-ready exports: Export the video storyboard as a polished image or PDF that slots straight into the proposal.
Reference clips, GIFs, and links on the canvas
Collect the visual language as you plan
Drop anything on the board: Images, video, GIFs, PDFs, links, and notes all land on the canvas next to your frames.
Grab frames from video: Capture stills from YouTube and Vimeo references without leaving the browser, and pin them where they matter.
Moodboard on the same canvas: Tone, color, and styling references build up beside the storyboard instead of in a separate tool.
From storyboard to shoot day
Carry the plan into production
Shot lists and schedules: Branch the storyboard into shot lists and planning boards on the same canvas, so prep stays in one place.
Team access: Invite collaborators free and control who can edit or view. One source of truth for the whole production.
On-set exports: Print the board or export a PDF for the shoot folder. The plan you approved is the plan you film.
Explore templates for your project
Every template opens as a real, editable board on the infinite canvas. Pick the closest fit and make it your own.

What creators are saying
Join early creators getting structured workspaces and AI that remembers their projects
“Storyflow has sped up my workflow by at least 3x, which means more flow state and more projects I can actually ship. It truly changed the way me and my team create.”
Reilin Joey
Director & YouTuber
“One prompt gets me a structured board. But the tactics are my favorite. I run my YouTube scripts through them and my intros and retention got better. It's amazing.”
Justkay
YouTuber & Freelance Filmmaker
“I used to juggle five apps to plan a project. Now I describe what I am making and get boards, lists, and a schedule. All in one place.”

Video storyboards, answered.
Everything people ask about storyboarding a video with Storyflow.
In Storyflow you describe your video to the AI, or paste the script, and it lays out a video storyboard: scenes, structure, and notes arranged across an infinite canvas. From there you re-arrange frames, add reference images and frame grabs, and pair the board with a shot list. The first board appears in seconds and a refined plan takes minutes.
Storyflow is made for this: describe the video or paste the script, and the AI lays out a video storyboard with scenes, structure and notes across one board. You drag frames into a new order, pair every frame with a shot in the shot list beside the board, and pin reference clips and frame grabs next to the frames. Then you share the board to get sign-off before the shoot.
Not yet. Storyflow is paid-only during early access, with plans from $7.99 a month billed annually ($9.99 monthly). A free plan launches before the end of 2026 with unlimited boards, basic AI usage, 3 starter frameworks and 20 file uploads. Until then, anyone a paid member invites to a board joins free.
Each frame should show what is on screen, what is heard over it, and how long the moment runs. A strong video storyboard also marks the hook, the section transitions, and the call to action, so the structure is visible before the shoot. In Storyflow these notes sit directly on each frame.
No. Most video boards in Storyflow are built from references: grab stills straight from YouTube or Vimeo, drop your own images into the frames, and rough in anything missing with the pen tool. The AI handles the layout, structure, and notes around them, because a readable board beats a pretty one. If you want generated visuals, AI image generation is included on Pro and Max plans.
Yes. Give the AI chat the script directly, or add it to the canvas as a PDF, and Storyflow maps it into scenes and frames. Scripts living in Word or Final Draft need a quick export to PDF or plain text first; after that, paste or drop them in.
Send a view-only link so the client reviews the board in their browser without creating an account, or export the storyboard as a high-quality image or PDF for email and decks. Edit access stays with the people you invite.
Yes, and you should. In Storyflow the shot list lives on the same canvas as the video storyboard, so every planned shot maps to a frame. Generate a shot list with the AI, then adjust sizes, angles, and setups next to the board.
A script is what gets said and done, written as text. A video storyboard is what the audience sees, planned frame by frame. You need both: the script drives the words, the storyboard catches pacing and coverage problems before the shoot. In Storyflow they live on one canvas.
