Boarding a film

After this you can generate a keyframe per scene and judge the look before paying for motion.

  1. 1

    A keyframe is the first frame of a shot and the anchor for everything after it. Video is generated from it, so the board is where the film's look is actually decided.

  2. 2

    Each scene gets its own keyframe, generated with the image model you pick. Cheap models are fine for judging composition; save the expensive ones for the frames you are keeping.

  3. 3

    A locked keyframe is what the video engine animates. If the board is right the film is usually right, and a still costs a fraction of a shot.

Your turn

  1. 1.Open the Storyboard for a project with scenes.
  2. 2.Generate a keyframe for one scene and look at it full size.
  3. 3.Regenerate the same scene on a different model and compare.
