SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly plan short-form and UGC videos by producing shot-by-shot storyboards designed to maximize early retention and conversion, instead of relying on generic “film-school” layouts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Retention-first storyboarding: Builds hooks, value delivery, and loops around the 3-second retention window and cut rhythm.
  • Platform-ready video specs: Adapts framing, safe-zone text placement, and target durations for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
  • Video-type script structures: Generates shot plans for organic short-form (Hook → Value → Loop) and UGC ads (Hook → Problem → Agitate → Solution → Proof → CTA).
  • A/B hook planning: Produces multiple hook variants (change one variable at a time) to test performance over 7–14 days.
  • Visual storyboard output: Creates an actual design-canvas storyboard with a generated image per shot, including metadata and VO/text bars.

Quick Start

Use the storyboard skill to create a vertical storyboard for a 30–40 second TikTok UGC ad with three different hook options and a clear CTA.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a shot-by-shot storyboard for a TikTok UGC ad?

To create a UGC ad storyboard, you define a script structure following the Hook → Problem → Agitate → Solution → Proof → CTA format. The storyboard then generates a visual canvas with one image per shot, including timing, shot type, VO direction, and on-screen text layout.

What is retention-first storyboarding for short-form video?

Retention-first storyboarding structures short-form video around a 3-second retention window and cut rhythm. It builds hooks, value delivery, and loops into the shot list to maximize early viewer retention and conversion rather than using generic film-school layouts.

Can I plan A/B hook variants for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts?

Yes, you can generate multiple hook variants for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts by changing one variable at a time. This A/B hook planning allows you to test different retention hooks over a 7–14 day period to measure performance.

Does short-form video storyboarding adapt platform specs and safe zones?

Yes, short-form video storyboarding adapts framing, platform specs, safe-zone text placement, and target durations specifically for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts to ensure compliance and maximize visibility.

What is the best way to structure a script for organic short-form video?

The best way to structure an organic short-form video script is using the Hook → Value → Loop format. This structure ensures quick retention hooks, clear value delivery, and a looping mechanism to encourage repeated views.

What metadata is included in a visual storyboard output?

A visual storyboard output includes a generated image for each shot alongside specific metadata. This metadata contains shot timing, shot type, VO/audio direction, and on-screen text layout rules to guide the video production.
