# Storyboard

### Summary

The Storyboard Node generates a complete storyboard image with multiple scenes arranged in a grid, all from a single text prompt or reference image. The AI interprets your description, breaks it into sequential scenes, and produces a numbered grid of visuals that tell the story. Choose from multiple grid sizes (2x2, 2x3, 3x3, and more) depending on how many scenes you need. The output can be used directly as a visual reference or split and animated into individual video clips downstream.

### How to Use

1. Add the Node:
   * Click the Add (+) button and select Storyboard from the Image node category.
2. Connect a Prompt:
   * Link a Prompt or AI Copilot node with a description of the scene, story, or sequence you want to visualize (e.g., "A cinematic scene of Peaky Blinders").
3. Choose Grid Size:
   * Select how many panels the storyboard should contain from the grid size options (e.g., 2x2, 2x3, 3x3).
4. Run:
   * Click Run, and the AI generates a single storyboard image with numbered scenes arranged in your chosen grid layout.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.imagine.art/workflows/image-nodes/storyboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
