Printable Storyboard Template

A storyboard lays out a video, animation or comic shot by shot. Each numbered frame is a 16:9 box — the shape of a modern video — with lines underneath for dialogue, camera moves or action notes. Fewer frames per page leave more room for notes.

Frequently asked questions

What aspect ratio are the frames?

The frames are 16:9, the same shape as HD video and most screens, so your sketches match the final shot.

How many frames should a storyboard page have?

Six frames per landscape page is the most common layout. Use fewer frames for detailed drawings and more for quick thumbnails.
