From the recording to the storyboard

Plan one visual argument.

Write down the question, the change and the evidence. Then place them against the actual performance.

Use one draft per substantial spoken point. The fields stay in this tab; download the draft to keep it. Nothing entered here is sent to a server.

01 / The visual argument

Give each beat a purpose.

These are proposed visuals for review. The supplied recording and verified product behavior determine what can actually be shown.

Segment or spoken point

Give this part of the recording a recognizable name.

Talking-head interval

Actual recording timecodes, including relevant pauses.

Audience question

What does this person need to understand or decide?

Spoken claim

What does the recording say? Preserve its meaning and limits.

Starting state

The task, artifact or discrepancy the audience needs to recognize.

Visible change

What happens in the current product, and why does it follow?

Ending evidence

The result the audience can inspect. Match it to the spoken claim.

Review, permission or limitation

The human judgment or condition that affects this result.

Real demo and capture notes

Current Poe behavior, original content and what must be captured.

Questions for the storyboard review

Missing footage, unresolved creative choices and export requirements.

Reference film

Choose a structure to discuss during the storyboard review.

02 / Separate playback assets

Check the shared timeline.

The presentation starts first. Its content transition cues the manual OBS switch. Enter measured seconds from the footage and rehearsal; no timing is assumed.

Presentation cue

Seconds from the presentation's start to its OBS cue.

seconds

Measured talking-head start

Seconds from presentation start to actual OBS playback.

seconds

Talking-head duration

Duration of the supplied recording, in seconds.

seconds

Ending buffer begins

Time in the talking-head recording where its final wave/pause begins.

seconds

Presentation ends

Planned end time measured from presentation start.

seconds

Fill in all five measured times to compare the starts and endings.

Aim to finish the presentation during the recorded ending buffer, with enough time to mute and turn off video in Zoom. This arithmetic checks the entered plan; rehearse the manual switch and playback. If the recording lacks the required wave and pause, raise that at storyboard review.

03 / One planned review

Bring the whole plan to review.

Combine the segment drafts with the timed transcript, demo list, references, cue, offset and ending buffer. Establish resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate, format and playback constraints before production. Keep the talking head separate from the silent presentation.
