# Start with a storyboard

Storyboard is better suited for complex videos that require extensive detailing for each scene.

### To start with a storyboard:

1. Click the "**Add script**", and start with a storyboard;

2. You can set up the "**Timing**", "**Shot Size**", "**Movement**", "**Angle**", "**Equipment**" and "**Focal Length**" for each script scene. For each drop-down list, you can decide the ideal camera language;
   * The default time interval is 5s for each scene;
   * You can drag and drop different scenes to reorder the script structure;

3. Type "**/**" on your keyboard and add components to your script in the text area;
   * You can add up to 9 pictures or 1 video reference for each scene;

     * You can also change where and how images and video are displayed for each scene. Just hover over the image/video, and edit at your will;

4. When you start to write, select the text and change your script layout anytime;

   * You can add different headings, bold the font, add underline, strike, link, change the text color, and [comment](/en-us/product-guides/script/comment-on-script.md);
   * You can add "**Narrator**" and "**Scene**" for the selected text to make it more organized;

5. Click "**New frame**" for the next scene once you finish the writing for the first scene;

6. You can add your preferred ad platform, social media, video aspect ratio, and product information to tailor your script to the designed distribution platform and format;

   * If you can't find related product information from the CreatiBI library, you can create one;
