    FAQ

    Does it work from a finished video?
    Yes. Import a video file and StoryFolder detects the shots from the rendered frames and transcripts from the audio waveform.
    Is the timecode SMPTE?
    No. It is elapsed HH:MM:SS,mmm from the first frame of the file, so a master beginning at 01:00:00:00 needs that hour added outside the app.
    Can the spreadsheet contain thumbnails?
    Yes, on Pro. Switch Images on in the same export or the Frame and Filename columns are not written.
    What files does one export create?
    The shot-list task writes Shot List.xlsx and Shot List.csv together. Optional tasks add a PNG and an MP4 per shot, Storyboard.pdf, and the transcript and subtitle files.
    Can it export EDL, XML, AAF or FCPXML?
    EDL, Final Cut Pro 7 XML and FCPXML, yes — the Editorial output writes Selects.edl, Selects.xml and Selects.fcpxml cut in board order against the file you imported, and a rendered Selects.mp4 reel alongside them. Editorial is Pro. There is no AAF, and it imports none of these formats. The timeline points at your imported file, so when the recipient needs the camera originals' reel, source timecode or handles, that still comes from the timeline that made the render, not from a rendered video.
    Will detection find fast cuts, dissolves and motion blurs?
    The algorithm is tuned but may struggle with gradual transitions or chaotic visuals. Use the sensitivity slider to discover more or fewer shots and fine-tune using the split and join tools.
    Which field types can I add?
    Text, Tag, Dropdown, Checkbox, Rating and Number. Custom fields are included on every plan.
    What does the free plan cover?
    The storyboard PDF, images and per-shot clips, with a watermark, plus transcription and its exports. Custom fields are included; spreadsheet export is Pro.
