Turn a Video Script into a Storyboard with AI: Scenes, Timing, and Prompts

Key takeaway & what you'll build

A storyboard turns a script into a plan you can film: each scene has timing, a label, on-screen action, audio, and an image prompt. Paste & Pulse in Video Studio breaks your script into scenes; then fix the breaks so there's one beat per scene, the timing adds up, and early scenes are short.

You'll build: Your storyboard in Video Studio

From words to shots

A storyboard is your script as a sequence of scenes, each describing what's seen and heard. It turns "a script" into "a plan you can film".

Paste & Pulse

In Video Studio, choose Paste & Pulse.
Paste your script and let Ace break it into scenes. You'll land on the Storyboard tab.

Each scene card has:

Timing, such as 0:00–0:05
Label, such as The Hook
On-screen action: what the viewer sees
Audio: what's said or heard
Image prompt: a detailed description for generating a frame

Fix the breaks

Ace's first pass is a draft. Check:

One beat per scene. If a scene has two actions, split it with Add Scene.
Timing adds up to your target length.
Labels match your structure: hook, tension, payoff, CTA.
Short scenes early. Faster cuts in the first seconds hold attention.

For a 30–60 second video, 4–8 scenes is typical.

Save your work

Use Save so your storyboard appears in your Studio Archive. You can reopen it later with Open.

Paste your script into Paste & Pulse, fix the scene breaks, and save. Don't generate any images yet.
