What Storyboard view is for

Storyboard view lays out shots visually so you can review the sequence of a scene or project in a more cinematic way than a table.

Control what you see

In Storyboard view, you can use View Options to:
  • Hide or show metadata
  • Switch between grid and row layouts
  • Change how much information appears with each shot

Open shot-level actions

Each storyboard image includes a three-dot menu so you can open more detailed shot and take actions directly from the storyboard layout.

When to use Storyboard view

Use it when you want to:
  • Review visual pacing
  • Check continuity across a scene
  • Scan a scene sequence quickly
  • Prepare for discussion with collaborators
