Storyboard to AI Video in ScreenWeaver, Step by Step

0:00Third tab, production. This is where the storyboard becomes a film. And you have nothing to wire up. Screenweaver has already built the whole canvas from your storyboard. You handle the canvas like a giant editing table. The scroll wheel pans the view, pinching or command plus scroll zooms, and space plus drag takes you anywhere. At the bottom, the toolbar adds nodes. Text, image, audio, video, LLM, bundle, image tools, and pipeline, with search on the right.

0:36Click a tile, then inside a group to place the node. The canvas is organized into sections. At the top, artistic direction. A text describing the look of your film and a style image. Here, photorealistic cinema with grain, a blue night, and warm light. It's the single source of the style. Change it, and every shot follows. Below, characters, locations, and objects. Each one gets a production reference, already linked to its description.

1:07You generate Emily, Thomas, and the car only once, and they serve every shot. Then, shot production. Organized by scene. Each shot keeps its storyboard group. The shot node, with the value, the camera, the duration, and the action, and its characters, locations, and objects already plugged in as references. Below the shots, the scene's production group. That's where you produce the video. You can work there by hand. Add an image or video node.

1:37Plug in your references. Choose the model. And click generate. Each node keeps the history of its takes. Compare them, and keep the best one. For video, there's no mode to choose. It's deduced from the connections. A prompt alone. A start image. A start and end image. Choose your model. We recommend C-Dance 2.5, because it's the best video generator available today. You also have Veo 3.1, Kling, Minimax, or Grok Imagine.

2:07Set the resolution, the duration, the audio, and click generate. There's your first rush. And here's what changes everything. Pipelines. In other AI tools, you produce shot by shot. A prompt to rewrite every time, references to reload, and continuity to watch yourself. Here, in a scene's production group, click add pipeline, choose reference to video, and select your shots. Screenweaver then gathers the context of the scene, the action of every shot, and the characters and sets you mentioned with their production sheets.

2:42A prompt director writes the complete staging, and a single video node shoots the whole scene as one coherent clip. The same faces, the same light, and continuity that holds. The second pipeline, storyboard panels to video, assembles your panels into a grid and sends it straight to the video node, with your art direction, while the prompt director writes the brief. The video model then follows your framing, shot by shot, in order, across the whole scene.

3:08The show what the model receives button shows you exactly the prompt that was sent. If you change an input, a banner tells you which nodes need to be rerun. And the bundle node gathers all your rushes into a zip file, ready for editing. All your generations, image and video, are tracked in the AI center. Running, done, or failed. You can cancel, retry, download, or jump straight to the node in question. On the script side, export lives in import-export.

3:43A PDF ready to send, a final draft file for your partners, or a full ScreenWeaver backup. You can also turn on automatic backups, every 30 minutes. Version history keeps a restore point at every import and every AI change. Restoring only affects the script. Your storyboard and your production stay in place. I found her at my mom. Let's recap. You write the script. It generates the whole storyboard. The storyboard wires up the whole production.

4:36And at every step, you're the one who decides. Pure AI, or to prepare a real shoot, the process stays the same. Now it's your turn. Open your own project and build your first scene step by step. Exactly the way we just did. The script, the storyboard, then the production. Pause the video whenever you need and take your time. The script. The script. The script. The script. The script. The script. The script.

5:00The script. The script. The script. The script.
