Storyboard Generator: Create Video Frame Grids

Visualizing the structure of a video at a glance is essential for editors, directors, and content creators. Our proprietary browser-based core allows you to scan a video file and generate a high-quality storyboard grid (contact sheet) without ever uploading your footage to a server.

Why generate a Storyboard?

• Visual Indexing: Quickly find specific scenes in long-form content without scrubbing through a timeline.
• Client Approvals: Share a single image that represents the entire aesthetic and pacing of a video.
• Archive Management: Use storyboards as "cover art" for your video library to identify files instantly.

Fast Workflow

1. Select your video file (MP4, MOV, WebM).
2. Choose the grid layout (e.g., 4x4, 5x5) or the frequency of frames (e.g., every 10 seconds).
3. Click Generate Storyboard.
4. Save the resulting image as a JPEG or PNG.

Pro Tips

• Keyframe Accuracy: Our tool attempts to capture significant visual changes, but you can also set manual intervals for precise summaries.
• Labeling: Turn on timestamps to see exactly when each frame occurs in the video.
• High Resolution: For printing or professional presentations, use the high-quality export setting.

Checklist

• Video file is recognized by the browser.
• Grid dimensions are set (Rows x Columns).
• Timestamps are enabled (if needed).
• Storyboard image is downloaded for reference.

FAQ

Does this work with 4K video? Yes, but high-resolution videos require more processing power. Our proprietary browser-based core handles the frame extraction locally on your hardware.

Can I choose which frames are shown? Currently, the tool picks frames based on time intervals. Manual selection is a feature planned for future updates.

Is my video private? Absolutely. Because everything happens in your browser, your raw video files never leave your computer.
