Check out this ultimate guide packed with tips and hacks to elevate your skills in Storyboarder.ai 🎨✨—master them all and become a storyboarding AI pro 🚀📚.

So, you've got your storyboard laid out, but... oh no! Some images look super sketchy, while others are way too photorealistic. 😅 No worries, I've got you covered. Let's get everything looking consistent and smooth.

Step 1: Hit That Retry Button 🔄

First things first, let's try the easiest fix: just click "Retry" on the images that don't match. Sometimes, a simple retry can work wonders. 🪄 In this case, just one click and bam, the image now fits perfectly with the rest of the storyboard.

Step 2: Save & Reapply Your Favorite Style 💾

If the retry trick doesn't do the job, go with that solution: If you really love an image in your existing storyboard, save that image to your computer. Then, switch up the art style of your whole storyboard and use the saved image as your new style guide.

For example, if an image is looking too photorealistic, save a nice sketchy one from the board. Then, change the whole storyboard’s style to that sketchier looking one. When you go back and retry the "too realistic looking" image, it should now blend in beautifully with the rest. ✨

Step 3: Use Your Own Unique Art Style 🎨

Still not quite there? No problem. You can take it a step further by applying your own unique art style that you've got saved.

Say you've got a couple of images that still feel out of place. Change the storyboard's style again, but this time, pick that awesome fine line art style you downloaded earlier. Go back and check those images now—they should look consistent and totally in sync with your storyboard. 🙌

And there you have it! Your storyboard now has a cohesive, professional look, with no odd styles sticking out. 👌

Good news! You can now upload PDF screenplays directly into Storyboarder.ai—not just concepts, but full, properly formatted screenplays! 🎉

A typical screenplay is formatted like this:

🔍 Pro Tip: Before you upload, make sure your screenplay follows this format. Scene headings matter!

Let’s dive right in! Here’s how you do it:

Boom! 💥 Your screenplay is now uploaded, and Storyboarder.ai instantly imports the entire PDF. As you can see, the scenes are automatically recognized and ready to go! 🎥

Uh-oh! 🚨 Not every screenplay is perfectly formatted. For instance, some screenplays might start with random text before the first real scene. 🧐

Example:

Let’s see what happens when we upload it:

But no worries! 💪 Here’s how you can fix that:

Now, generate the shot list and voilà! 🎉 Your scene is there, looking sharp in the shot list, just like it should.

To make sure your screenplay works perfectly with Storyboarder.ai, follow these rules:

Happy storyboarding! 🎬✨ Your scenes are ready to come to life in the most visually stunning way possible!

Got something in your image that you want to get rid of? No problem! Here’s how you can easily erase those unwanted details.

Step 1: Erase Unwanted Characters 🚫

First up, if you’ve got a character in your image that you don’t need, just click on the erase icon in the toolbar at the top. Paint over the character you want to remove, then click "Erase," and just like that—they’re gone! 🧑‍🎨

Step 2: Removing Small Objects 🎧

Next, let’s say you’ve got a headphone in the image that you want to get rid of. This is super easy too. Just highlight the headphone, click "Erase," and poof—no more headphone! 🎧❌

Step 3: Erasing Multiple Items 🚗

For a final example, what if you want to remove a few cars from the image? Same deal! Highlight the cars, click "Erase," and they’re gone in a flash. 🚗💨

So, go ahead and use the erase tool whenever you need to fine-tune your images. It’s a super powerful feature that makes editing a breeze! ✨

You’ve probably run into the safety filter before, right? It can be frustrating when it pops up, blocking out images you want to use. But don't worry—I've got some tricks to help you get rid of them!

Step 1: Identifying the Problem Terms 🕵️‍♂️

So, here’s the deal: if you’re seeing a lot of safety filters in your storyboard, it might be because of certain words in your scene headings. For example, if you’ve got "bedroom" or "bathroom" in there, that’s likely the culprit. These words tend to trigger the safety filter, especially when people are involved. 😅

Step 2: Swapping Out the Words 🔄

Here’s the simple fix: just change "bedroom" to "guest room" and "bathroom" to "lavatory" or something similar. Then, go back to your storyboard and refresh all the images that had the safety filter activated. And just like that—voilà! You’ll see a lot more of your images are now visible. 🎉

Step 3: Tweak and Play Around 🛠️

If you still have a few images getting blocked, take a closer look. For example, if the term "shower" is causing issues, try changing the wording a bit, play around with it, and see what happens. After some tweaks, things should start looking more like what you want. 👌

Step 4: Dealing with Tricky Terms 😬

One last tricky term: "kissing." This can also trip up the safety filter sometimes. A quick workaround is to replace it with something like "give a peck." Remove the "kissing" term, save, and refresh. You’ll see that it now works much better and gives you a result that’s really close to what you had in mind. 💏

And there you have it! With these little fixes, you can now create a consistent storyboard without the safety filter getting in your way. Happy storyboarding! ✨

Ever had a specific background or location you wanted to use in your storyboard? Image-to-Image is your go-to tool for that! Let’s walk through how you can make it happen.

Step 1: Starting with Your Background 🏛️

So, say you’ve got an image with a building in the background, but you want to swap it out for a specific building you have a photo of. No worries! If you’re working with a monochrome art style, make sure your reference photo is monochrome too. Upload your monochrome image of the location, set the image strength to 40%, and refresh. You’ll see that the result is already super close to your original location. 🏙️✨

Step 2: Matching Your Unique Art Style 🎨

If the art style isn’t quite what you envisioned, let’s take it up a notch! Upload an image that matches the sketchy or scribble style of your board. Then, go back to the Image-to-Image feature and upload your original photo again, keeping the strength at 40%. Now, your image will transform to match your unique style while still keeping that original background you wanted. How cool is that? 😎

Step 3: Adding Story Elements 🧍‍♂️

But wait, there’s more! It’s not just about the background—you can also weave in your storyline. For instance, if your shot description includes a man standing in front of the building, that’s exactly what will show up. It’s not just about uploading a picture and hoping for the best; you can really craft the scene to fit your narrative. 📖

And there you have it! With Image-to-Image, you can keep your original background and perfectly blend it into your storyboard with your own art style. Happy storyboarding! 🎉

Got a specific shot in mind and want to make sure it shows up just right in your images? Let’s dive into how you can do that!

Step 1: Changing the Perspective 🎯

Let’s say you’ve got an image of a woman standing to the side, but you really want the shot to be from behind her back. No problem! Just head over to the perspective column, type in "behind the back," and hit refresh. 🔄 Boom! The shot now shows her from behind.

Step 2: Adjusting the Shot with a Description 📝

Another cool trick is to tweak the shot description. If you want the person to look directly into the camera, just write that in the shot description. Refresh, and voilà—your person is now making eye contact with the camera! 📸

Step 3: Frontal Shots and More 🎬

Want a frontal shot instead? Go back to the perspective column, type in "frontal shot," save, and refresh. And there you go—a nice, straight-on view! If you’ve got two people in the picture and want an over-the-shoulder shot, just write that in the perspective column. Refresh, and you’ll see the shot has changed to exactly what you wanted. 🙌

Step 4: Tweaking the Shot Size 🔍

You can also change the shot size. Let’s say you want that over-the-shoulder shot to be a close-up. Type in "close-up," refresh, and you’ll see the shot zooms in while keeping the over-the-shoulder angle. So cool! 🤩

Step 5: Using the Image-to-Image Feature 🖼️

Lastly, you can use the image-to-image feature if you already have a specific shot in mind. For example, if you have an image of two people sitting at a table but want an over-the-shoulder shot, just upload your own image that already has that angle. Set the image strength to 20% or 30%, and watch as the shot gets adjusted perfectly. 🎯

And that’s it! These are the go-to methods for getting the perfect shot and perspective in your images. Happy creating! 🎨

So, you want to represent a character at different ages but still keep them looking like the same person? Easy peasy! Let’s walk through it.

Step 1: Meet Jenny and Her Look-Alike 🎭

Here we’ve got our character, Jenny. So far, we've only defined her as a middle-aged woman, but now we want to show Jenny at different ages.

Step 2: Making Jenny Younger ✨

First, let's make Jenny look younger. Head down to the traits field, where you can add some details. For example, type in that the woman in the picture should look significantly younger. 📝 Let’s do that now. Once you’ve written that in, save the character and check out the result. She looks much younger now! 👧 You can see how just tweaking that one detail has already made a difference.

Step 3: Turning Jenny Into a Child 🧒

But we’re not stopping there! Let’s go back into the character field and take it a step further by turning Jenny into a child. Type in “9-year-old girl” and save it. Click "Retry," and voila! You’ll see Jenny as a kid, but she still has those recognizable features from her look-alike. 👀

Step 4: Aging Jenny Up 👵

Now, let’s do the opposite and create an older version of Jenny. Write in the details, save, refresh the image, and there she is—an older Jenny, with gray hair and all, but still clearly the same person.

And just like that, we’ve successfully portrayed Jenny at different stages of her life, all while keeping those key facial features that make her recognizable at any age! 🎉
