How to Create a Storyboard

Create a Storyboard

Check out these step-by-step instructions on how to create a basic storyboard. You can choose your own scenes and characters or follow along with the example.

1. Open the Storyboard Creator

You can get to the Storyboard Creator by clicking any of the Create a Storyboard buttons on your dashboard or around the site! Once opened, you will be prompted to give your new storyboard a name!

2. Give Your Storyboard a Title

Type in what you would like the title to be and click Continue.

After naming your storyboard, it is now saved in your account under My Storyboards and will continue to save in real time as you work!

3. Choose a Scene

Time to start creating! Select a scene and drag it down to a cell. Change up the colors if you want!

This is the first cell of your new storyboard. All new storyboards are 3 cells long. Switch between Single Cell View and Full Storyboard View with these buttons on the left menu 👇
