Transcript
There are a couple of ways to start a storyboard. You can start from scratch, or from a script if you've got one. Either way, open a project, or create a new one if you need to, then click New and choose Storyboard.
If you just want an empty one, choose Blank, give it a name and click Create. From there you can add frames yourself, or describe the job to the Boords Agent and let it rough them out for you.
You can also start from the script, and write it directly in Boords. Click New, choose Script, and write your draft, or paste it in from Google Docs or Word.
When the script's ready, click Storyboard at the top. Boords suggests the field names and how many scenes to make, so check those, then click Create storyboard. You'll get a frame for every scene, with your words already filled in.
And if your script's already finished somewhere else, click New, choose Storyboard, and paste it or upload it under Import Script.
