- Your column names
- Each AV block becomes a table with Scene, Audio / Voiceover and Visual columns, under your own labels if you renamed them.
- Timing on every scene
- Each scene shows its voiceover word count and runtime, at the block's reading speed.
- The rest of the script
- Headings, text formatting, images and tables come through around the AV blocks.
One file for every sign-off
For the people who approve the words but don’t work in Boords.
- Clients who work in Word
- Send the script to reviewers who mark up in Word. Everyone else can comment on it in Boords with a review link.
- Legal and compliance
- Clearance teams check claims and supers with Word’s own comments and tracked changes.
- Voice talent
- The artist reads from the Audio / Voiceover column, with a word count and runtime on every scene.
- Translation
- Translators work scene by scene, with the visuals beside every line for context.
Storyboards export as a script table
When the words live in your frame fields rather than a script, export the storyboard to Word instead.
- One row per frame
- Numbered in board order, with your frame fields, such as Shot type, Voiceover and Action, as columns.
- One total word count
- Under the title, if the board shows a word count.
- Formatting kept
- Bold, italic, strikethrough, text colour, highlight and links come through.
