# The storyboard Read the scenes and the spoken script before the price. You can edit each scene's spoken line, save it and approve the script. Source: https://infinall.ai/docs/video/storyboard Last checked: 2026-10-26 ## What it is The storyboard shows your video as a list of scenes with the line spoken in each one. You can change those spoken lines, save them, and approve the script before you see the price. ## Who can use it Video is part of the Pro plan. Free accounts see an upgrade prompt. The backend checks your plan when you approve a script and when you send a change to a plan. ## Cost Uses credits. You see the exact price before you confirm. Opening the storyboard, editing the script and approving it do not start a render. The panel says "Nothing renders until you press Approve & render." The footer also shows **Generation cost** once the price is ready. ## Where to find it Turn on **Storyboard** with the **Generation mode** switch in the video composer, then press **Create video**. The Storyboard panel opens on the right. You can open it again from the video panel with **Open storyboard**. ## Buttons and controls | # | Name in the app | What it does | Plan | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Close storyboard | Closes the panel. Esc and a click outside do the same. | Pro | | 2 | Video variants | A row of buttons, one per version. Shows only when you made more than one version. | Pro | | 3 | Edit | Turns the scenes into text boxes so you can change what is spoken. It reads **Cancel edits** while you edit. | Pro | | 4 | Scene (number) script | The text box for one scene, with the scene number and its length in seconds. Shows while you edit. | Pro | | 5 | Save changes | Saves your edits. Shows while you edit. | Pro | | 6 | Generation cost | The price in credits, or "price shown at approve" when it is not ready yet. | Pro | | 7 | Approve script and see the price | Approves the spoken script. The panel closes when it is approved. Shows when the video has spoken lines that are not approved yet. | Pro | | 8 | Looks good. Continue | Closes the panel and goes to the price. Shows when no one speaks in the video. | Pro | | | Script approved. Continue | Same as above, once the spoken script is approved. | Pro | | | Open storyboard | A link in the video panel that opens this panel. | Pro | | | Read script | In the video panel when the script needs approval. Opens the storyboard. | Pro | | | Approve script | In the video panel. Approves the script without opening the storyboard. | Pro | ## How to read and approve the script 1. Turn on **Storyboard** in the composer and press **Create video**. 2. Wait for the panel. It says "Loading the plan" while it opens. 3. Read each scene. A scene with no spoken line says "No spoken line in this scene." 4. If the lines are right, press **Approve script and see the price**. 5. Read the price in the video panel, then press **Approve & render**. ## How to edit the spoken lines 1. In the Storyboard panel, press **Edit**. 2. Change the text in any **Scene (number) script** box. 3. Press **Save changes**. To drop your edits, press **Cancel edits**. 4. Approve the script again. An edit makes the earlier approval invalid, so unreviewed words never reach the video. You can only edit before the video is approved. After that, the **Edit** button is gone and the plan is locked. To change a finished video, send a change in the chat. See [Edit a finished video](/docs/video/edit-a-finished-video). ## Options explained **Generate vs Storyboard.** With **Generate**, the plan is made behind the scenes and you go straight to the price. If the video has spoken lines, they show in a folded list above the price called "Spoken lines", and **Approve & render** approves them for you. With **Storyboard**, you approve the script first. You can change this switch on any format. **What you can edit here.** Only the spoken line of each scene. The storyboard shows the scene number, its length and its line. It does not show a picture for each scene, and it has no controls to reorder scenes, change their length or change the look of a scene. **Videos with no spoken line.** If nobody speaks, the panel shows a **Message** box with the hook, the message and the call to action, and says "No one speaks on camera in this video. To have a presenter say these lines, pick an avatar and a voice." **Versions.** If you made several versions, each has its own plan. Pick one with the **Video variants** buttons. ## Limits - A scene's spoken line can be up to 3,000 characters. - A price holds for 10 minutes. - A video project holds up to 50 versions, counting every change you send after a video is approved. ## When something goes wrong | Message in the app | What it means | What to do | | --- | --- | --- | | This plan cannot be shown. Create the video again. | The plan could not be read. | Make the video again. | | Could not approve the script. | Approving the script failed. | Press the button again. | | Could not save the plan. | Saving your edits failed. | Press **Save changes** again. | | This plan has no spoken script to approve. | The video has no spoken lines. | Press **Looks good. Continue**. | | Approved plans are locked. Create a new storyboard to change the brief. | You tried to edit a plan that was already approved. | Send a change in the chat, or make a new video. | | Provide a script of at most 3000 characters for each scene. | A spoken line is too long. | Shorten it. | | The plan changed or was approved while it was being edited. Reload it before saving. | The plan moved on while you edited. | Reload and edit again. | | This video is still being planned. Send your change when it is ready, or press x on the Editing chip to start a new video. | You sent a change before planning finished. | Wait, or press x to start a new video. | ## Questions ### Do I have to use the storyboard? No. **Generate** is the default and goes straight to the price. Use **Storyboard** when you want to read or change the words first. ### Can I change the pictures in a scene? Not in the storyboard. It shows and edits the spoken lines. To change how a scene looks, send a change in the chat after the video is made. See [Edit a finished video](/docs/video/edit-a-finished-video). ### Does approving the script charge me? No. It only approves the words. Credits are charged for the render after you press **Approve & render**. ### Why does it ask me to approve the script again? Because you changed it. An approval is tied to the exact words, so any edit needs a new approval. ### Where do I write a script from scratch? You can write one with the audio tools. See [Write the script](/docs/audio/write-the-script).
