Ensuring Character Updates Are Applied to Storyboard Shots
When you update a character's image or description in Storyboarder.ai, it’s important to follow specific steps to ensure these changes are reflected in your storyboard shots. Below is a comprehensive guide to help you successfully apply and troubleshoot character updates.
Overview
After editing a character's description or image, changes may not always automatically appear in storyboard shots. This guide outlines the steps you can take to:
Save and update character data
Apply updates to affected shots
Troubleshoot issues in case changes do not appear as expected
Step-by-Step Process to Apply Updates
Save Changes to the Character: - Open the character editor in Storyboarder.ai. - Make the desired changes to the character’s image or description, ensuring the description closely matches the uploaded image. - Press RETRY to see a new preview and hit the Save button to save your edits.
Update the Affected Shots: - Locate the shots in which the character appears. - For each affected shot, click RETRY beneath the shot to regenerate it using the updated character. - Ensure the character’s exact name is included in the shot description to associate it with the updated version.
Troubleshooting Tips
If the character updates still do not appear in your shots, try the following:
Verify Settings in the Character Editor: - Confirm that the "Based On Image Reference" option is enabled and saved in the character settings.
Double-Check Description Alignment: - Ensure the character’s description matches the newly uploaded image as closely as possible.
Check Art Style: - The best possible character consistency can only be achieved, when selecting the art style templates on the first page of your art style overview. Do not select an own art style or the legacy models.
Summary and Common Pitfalls
To ensure your character updates are reflected seamlessly:
Always save your edits in the character editor.
Use the RETRY button to update each affected shot.
Verify that the character is explicitly mentioned in shot descriptions and that relevant settings, such as "Based On Image Reference,” are correctly configured.
If necessary, explore advanced tools like the VARIATION button for manual updates.
By following these steps and checks, you’ll be able to ensure that your storyboard accurately incorporates the latest changes to your characters.
