Adding Shots to the Storyboard
 
 
 

You can add shots to the Storyboard by dragging them from the Shot bin.

TipTo 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.

To add shots to the Storyboard:

  1. Select shots in the Shot bin.

    The order in which you click shots in the Shot bin determines their order in the Storyboard.

    TipIf you select the wrong shots, click the grey area to the left of the Trash button. This releases the selected shots from the cursor.
  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    NoteYou 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).
