Storyboard & Compositor
Give your sequence a shape.
Arrange frames, references and text inside your workflow. Use Storyboard to describe the sequence, and Compositor to shape how the images come together. Storyboard is currently a development preview. Its public release is not yet confirmed.

How does it work?
Plan the next shot
A sequence needs more than a collection of good images. It needs an order, a point of view and a clear idea of what changes from one shot to the next.
Place your frames in a readable sequence and describe the action beside them. Keep shot numbers, camera notes and movement separate enough to scan. A closeup, a wide shot and an insert each have a different job. In Learn How to Fly, the sequence moves from height and hesitation to a close view of the feet, the face, the transformation and the first flight. Seeing those frames together makes it easier to judge continuity before generating more video.
What can I use it for?
Take the storyboard into generation
A composed storyboard can become a reference for a compatible video model. Individual frames can also feed separate shots, including start and end frames where the selected model supports them. These are different ways of guiding a result, not a guarantee that every frame or cut will be reproduced exactly.
How does it work?
Keep the description connected
Place your frames in a readable sequence and describe the action beside them. Keep shot numbers, camera notes and movement all within one beautiful guide. A closeup, a wide shot and an insert each have a different job. In Learn How to Fly, the sequence moves from height and hesitation to a close view of the feet, the face, the transformation and the first flight. Seeing those frames together makes it easier to judge continuity before generating more video.

Questions and answers.
Does the storyboard generate a video by itself?
No. It is a visual reference you can connect to a compatible generation workflow. But you can generate a video from the timeline inside the storyboard with the perfect timing.
Do I have to generate the images in Oro?
You can work with existing images as well as generated results. In this project.
Is Astra part of Storyboard or Compositor?
Astra operated this project through Codex. It is not being presented here as an embedded Oro feature or a requirement for using these tools.
Compositor
Build the image around your idea
Bring several images onto one canvas. Place, resize and arrange them with text and solid color areas to create a composition that is easier to read, compare or use as a reference.
A character sheet can sit beside a sequence. A closeup can be paired with a wider view. A simple background and consistent spacing can turn a collection of tests into a useful production board.
Keep the pieces editable
Build with separate elements rather than treating the board as a finished image from the beginning. Adjust the frame placement, text and spacing as the direction develops. The composition stays part of the workflow that produced it.
Use the right level of detail
Make the images large enough to judge, and the text short enough to read. Start with a clear hierarchy: title, shot number, frame, action and camera note. Add character references or palette information when they help the next decision.
