"Storyboard and timelines" refer to tools in video editing that allow planning and organizing visual stories. The storyboard is a graphical representation of the individual scenes or sections of a video in the form of images or sketches, illustrating the flow of the plot and the composition of the shots. The timeline is a graphical representation of the chronological sequence of individual elements, such as clips, images, or effects, used in a video. It shows the start and end of each element as well as their placement over time.
Typical features of software in the field of "Storyboard and timelines" include:
Storyboard creation: The software allows creating and organizing storyboards by adding images, sketches, or text to plan the visual flow of the story.
Timeline editing: There are tools for editing the timeline, such as adding, moving, or deleting clips or effects, to shape the structure and flow of the video.
Audio and video synchronization: The ability to synchronize audio and video clips on the timeline to ensure they are correctly played back in the video.
Effects and transitions: The software provides a selection of effects and transitions that can be applied to the timeline to enhance the visual quality of the video.
Customizable timeline view: The ability to customize the representation of the timeline to change the zoom or scale and get a better overview of the timeline.
Export: The software allows exporting the finished video with the compiled storyboard and timeline structure into various formats for use in different media.
