Plan an AI Video with a Reviewable Storyboard

A practical ToolNav workflow. Examples are planning scenarios, not measured results.

One message

Choose one action viewers should understand. For a meeting-note demo, show a recording becoming an editable summary. Do not combine the founder story, every feature and a price announcement. Write where the video will appear and what viewers should do next.

Timing

Plan a hypothetical 20-second clip as problem, demonstration, result and action. Read the script aloud with natural pauses. If narration does not fit, shorten the sentence instead of speeding up every line. These timings are planning examples, not platform requirements.

Shot records

For each shot write an ID, duration, framing, subject action, narration and acceptance rule. A shot showing three action items should require legible labels. Include the asset source and reviewer so one failed shot can be replaced without rebuilding the entire project.

Real demonstrations

Use actual recordings for interface claims. Generated clips may illustrate a scenario but should not fabricate a working feature. Keep the true input and output beside the storyboard. Clearly identify concept imagery if a viewer could confuse it with a live product demonstration.

Continuity

Compare neighboring frames for lighting, object shape, clothing and direction. Maintain a reference sheet and replace the weakest clip. Avoid hiding every inconsistency behind fast cuts. Add accurate interface text and logos in editing after the motion passes review.

Silent review

Watch without sound at the intended screen size. The problem and result should remain understandable. Ask someone unfamiliar with the product to explain the message. Save the script, source clips and captions together; use the first-draft guide for the generation stage.

Acceptance checklist

Before publication, verify the intended audience, factual accuracy, asset permissions, final export and destination link. Assign one reviewer and record unresolved issues. An attractive preview is not enough: review the exact file or page users will receive, including its behavior on a smaller screen.

Version and next step

Save the brief, approved assets and review notes under a clear version name. Keep rejected drafts separate. When requirements change, update the source and repeat the affected checks instead of editing only the published copy.
