Use case / Training & L&D
Storyboards for training
that actually scales.
Plan onboarding, compliance, product, and systems training videos in minutes. Standardise quality across hundreds of modules. Ship content without a creative team on retainer.

The shift
What changes when storyboards live inside your L&D workflow
Before
The traditional L&D video cycle
- Brief an agency or internal creative team, wait two weeks for concepts
- Each training video looks and sounds different, consistency drifts across modules
- Compliance deadlines slip when the production queue backs up
- Small revisions trigger a new change-request cycle
- Cost and effort scale linearly with video volume
After
With storyboards in the loop
- Generate a storyboard in 60 seconds from a training outline or one-liner
- Same narrative structure and production quality across every module
- Regulations shift on a Friday, you ship updated boards by Monday
- Regenerate a single panel without re-briefing or re-scripting
- Produce twenty modules for roughly the cost of one agency engagement
Where it fits
Four training scenarios it covers today
L&D teams hit different walls at different programme stages. Here's where storyboards do the heavy lifting.
New-hire onboarding
- Format
- 3 to 5 minute welcome and orientation videos
- Need
- Consistent tone across cohorts, plus role-specific variations
- Benefit
- Generate role-specific versions from one core brief. Same structure, different details, all on-brand with your company culture.
Compliance & policy training
- Format
- Short-form scenario-based videos
- Need
- Accurate, up-to-date content when regulations change
- Benefit
- Regenerate individual panels when a policy shifts. No need to reshoot the entire module or re-brief the creative team.
Product & feature training
- Format
- Walk-through videos tied to launch cadence
- Need
- Match the release schedule without lagging behind marketing
- Benefit
- Paste the release notes, get a storyboard for the training walk-through the same day the feature goes live.
Software & systems rollout
- Format
- Dozens of how-to modules across a migration
- Need
- Scale to large programs with a consistent learner experience
- Benefit
- Use one storyboard template, regenerate for each workflow or feature. Every module opens the same way learners already expect.
The workflow
From learning objective to hand-off
Drop in the outline
Paste a learning objective, a training outline, or upload the existing slide deck.
Pick a format
Bite-size social for microlearning, widescreen for module content, or cinematic for flagship programs.
Review the storyboard
Get a script, scene descriptions, shot directions, and narration, laid out in a six-panel structure.
Hand off or animate
Share the link with your video team or generate short animated clips directly for LMS upload.
For L&D leads
Questions before you pilot this internally
Will the script match our instructional design style?
The AI produces a narrative six-panel structure by default: hook, problem, insight, solution, action, and close. If your ID framework expects a different flow (ADDIE, Bloom, scenario-based), edit the generated script directly in the tool or use it as a starting point your ID team refines.
How does this scale for programs with 50 plus videos?
Each storyboard is stored in your account, not regenerated from scratch each time. Teams running large programs typically build one master brief, then clone and adjust it for each module. The Pro plan supports up to 20 panels per storyboard and unlimited storyboards per account.
Can we use this for compliance content that needs legal review?
The storyboard is a plan, not the final asset. Share the link with your legal reviewer before production starts. They flag language in the script before any video is produced, which is the exact flow most compliance teams already use today.
Does it support multi-region or multi-language training?
You can generate separate storyboards per market from the same core brief by adjusting the audience and tone. Translation and voiceover happen at the production stage with your existing localisation workflow.
Can our production partner or internal video team use the output?
Yes. Share the storyboard link with any partner, internal or external. They get the script, scene descriptions, shot directions, and narration as a locked creative reference before production begins.
What about pricing for enterprise programs?
The Pro plan at $49 per month covers most individual L&D designers. For centralised programs across dozens of stakeholders, or for bulk video animation, reach out to talk about enterprise pricing through shootsta.com/contact.
