Adding Shots to the Storyboard
Reordering Shots in the Storyboard
Duplicating Shots in the Storyboard
The Storyboard is a thumbnail representation of the shots in a cut and provides a Storyboard view of the active timeline layer. For a timeline with multiple layers, if Solo mode is disabled (this is the default), the Storyboard always displays the topmost layer. If Solo mode is enabled, the Storyboard displays the layer according to the location of the focus point. Lustre includes an assortment of tools for adding shots to, and rearranging shots in, your Storyboard. Once you place a shot in the Storyboard, you can modify it.
You can add shots to the Storyboard by dragging them from the Shot bin.
Hint: To add shots to the Storyboard where the insertion marker is positioned, enable Solo mode in the Timeline menu. If you do not do this, added shots are automatically appended to the end of the timeline. See Multi-Layer Timeline.
Select shots in the Shot bin.
The order in which you click shots in the Shot bin determines their order in the Storyboard.
Hint: If you select the wrong shots, click the grey area to the left of the Trash button. This releases the selected shots from the cursor.
Drag the shots to the Storyboard.
A yellow insertion marker appears on the Storyboard.

As you move the cursor back and forth along the Storyboard, the insertion marker moves.
Click to add the shots to the Storyboard.
The shots are added to the end of the Storyboard if Solo mode is disabled or to the location of the insertion marker if Solo mode is enabled.
Note: You can also drag shots directly from the file browser and drop them into the Storyboard. In this case, the shots are also placed into the Shot bin (if they are not already there).
You can reorder the shots in the Storyboard.
Note: Solo mode in the Timeline menu must be enabled.
In the main menu, click Editing.
Click Timeline.
The Timeline menu appears.
Enable Solo.
Drag the shot you want to move.
The shot becomes partially transparent.
Drag the shot elsewhere in the Storyboard.
A yellow insertion marker shows where the shot will be placed.
Release the mouse, then click it again, to complete the edit.
Hint: If you select the wrong shots, click the grey area to the left of the Trash button. This releases the selected shots from the cursor.
You can duplicate shots in the Storyboard.
Note: Solo mode in the Timeline menu must be enabled.
After adding a shot to the Storyboard, drag the shot from the Shot bin a second time to create a duplicate.
Hint: If you select the wrong shots, click the grey area to the left of the Trash button. This releases the selected shots from the cursor.
Hint: To insert a duplicated shot to the insertion marker location of the Storyboard, you must enable Solo mode in the Timeline menu. See Multi-Layer Timeline. Otherwise, the duplicated shot is inserted at the end of the Storyboard.
You can delete shots from the Shot bin, Storyboard, or Multi-Layer Timeline (see Deleting Elements). Deleting shots from the Shot bin does not delete them from the Storyboard or Multi-Layer Timeline, and vice versa.
Be aware that Timeline Solo and Ripple mode affects how the shots are deleted in the Edit menu. If Solo is enabled, the Trash and Delete tools default to Ripple End behaviour. If Solo is disabled, the Trash and Delete tools behave according to the Timeline Ripple mode (see Trimming Ripple Mode) and apply to the layer that the focus point is on.
