1. 00:15 ↗

   Flashboards can be installed in After Effects via the ZXP Installer by dragging and dropping the extension package.

2. 01:13 ↗

   Preparing both a full-body shot and a medium close-up photo helps the pipeline maintain character consistency across varied camera framings.

3. 02:14 ↗

   Combining a full-body shot and a close-up onto a single reference image allows for seamless character replacement into stylized Pinterest environments.

4. 03:48 ↗

   The image-to-audio-to-video pipeline automatically slices an audio track into short segments to batch-generate matching video shots.

5. 08:46 ↗

   Collaging multiple generated keyframes into a grid reference image can serve as a useful input for Sora to create dynamic stylistic variations.

Workflow outlined in the video

1. Download and install the ZXP Installer to set up the Flashboards extension inside After Effects.
2. Prepare at least two distinct reference photos of your character, including a full-body shot and a medium close-up.
3. Navigate to the pipeline tab in Flashboards and select the image, audio, and video generation option.
4. Import your music track and reference assets to automatically slice and generate sequential storyboard frames.
5. Refine weaker shots by feeding keyframe collages into auxiliary video models like Sora for stylistic upgrades.

Before you use this workflow

These notes describe the source video at its publication date. Model access, pricing, connectors and interfaces may have changed. Check the original source and the provider’s current documentation before installing an add-on, connecting an account or spending credits.

ReelStack has not independently tested this workflow. Preview one representative shot and check motion, continuity and output quality before applying it to a full production. No result, cost saving or model capability is guaranteed.
