Prepare the slides
Sketch out your story to have a clear visual understanding of it. Think about the aspect ratio of your video, and use rectangles of the same size when drawing your storyboard mockup.

FAQ
-
What are the main benefits of a storyboard?
This graphic organizer is a good way to sketch out your story. Besides, commercial storyboards make the production process easier and more effective. It also helps piece together details and organizes your time. -
What should my storyboard include?
A storyboard usually consists of several square sections with illustrations. It visualizes every shot in your project, contains notes that describe what happens in each scene, and includes dialogues if necessary. If you don’t know what to start with — VistaCreate has you covered with tons of storyboard templates! Simply pick any ready-made template in our storyboard creator for free and quickly customize it using various storyboarding tools. -
What is the difference between storyboard and animatic?
A storyboard contains sketches of your story — static illustrations that represent the main idea and plot in every scene. Animatics are more complex designs that not only show idea realization, but also make it possible to see the general dynamic of your future video. In VistaCreate, you can effortlessly design an animatic or a storyboard for free. -
Can I create a storyboard on my phone?
Of course! You don’t need to install any complicated storyboarding program or look for the best storyboard app to design on your phone. Use the storyboard creator in the VistaCreate app. You can easily switch from the free storyboard app and continue editing on our website with advanced tools, such as Brand Kit or Sticker Maker.
