1. What is Storyboard AI?
Storyboard AI is a Jira Cloud app that turns screenshots and screen recordings into short, narrated videos, right inside Jira. Drop in your assets, let AI draft the script, pick a voice, and get a polished MP4 with captions.
2. Who is Storyboard AI for?
Storyboard AI is for product managers, technical writers, designers, customer success, and marketing ā anyone producing demo, announcement, onboarding, or walkthrough videos directly from a set of assets. No previous video creation experience required.
3. Where do I use Storyboard AI?
You use Storyboard AI inside Jira Cloud, in any modern desktop browser. Install the app from the Atlassian Marketplace, open any work item (formerly called an issue), click the Apps button under its title and choose Storyboard AI. The Storyboard AI panel opens below the description. You don't need to install anything else or manage rendering; we handle that in the background.
4. How are Storyboard AI videos organized?
Each Jira work item holds one storyboard. There's no separate project list to manage ā the work item is the project.
5. Can I make a video with Rovo?
Yes. If your site has Rovo enabled, the Storyboard AI agent can draft, edit, and render a storyboard from a work item through chat. See Make a video with the Rovo agent.
6. Does Storyboard AI have video templates?
Yes. Storyboard AI has three presets so you don't start from a blank canvas:
-
Product Walkthrough ā widescreen, karaoke-style captions
-
LinkedIn Post ā square, punchy TikTok-style captions
-
In-App Docs ā widescreen, clean subtitle captions
You can tweak anything (aspect ratio, voice, caption style, cover frame) from the left panel once you're in the editor.
7. What voices and languages does Storyboard AI support?
Storyboard AI has six curated voices ā George, Sarah, Alice, Liam, Matilda, and Roger ā covering a range of English accents. Need another language? Reach out and we'll enable it for you.
8. Can AI write the narration script for my video?
Yes. In the Storyboard AI editor, click Generate scripts to draft narration for every frame based on your work item and the frame content you describe in the prompt. Generated text is fully editable before rendering.
9. What files can I upload to Storyboard AI?
-
Images: PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, SVG
-
Videos: MP4, WebM, MOV
-
Max size: 200 MB per file
Files you upload in the editor under roughly 4 MB are also copied into the work item's Attachments section, so they stay visible on the ticket. Larger files ā most video clips ā stay in the storyboard only. If you need a big file to appear on the ticket as well, drag it onto the work item's Attachments section yourself.
Going the other way ā building frames from files already attached to the work item ā is done by asking the Storyboard AI agent, not from the editor.
10. What format and resolution are exported videos?
Storyboard AI exports an MP4 at 30 fps. You can render up to 2K (2560Ć1440 for widescreen and vertical, 2048Ć2048 for square).
11. Are the captions synced to the voiceover?
Yes. Storyboard AI times captions word by word to the narration, so each word lights up exactly when it's spoken.
12. If I change the script or voice, do I have to re-render the whole video?
You click Generate Video again to get the new output ā but behind the scenes, only the frames you actually changed are regenerated. Everything else reuses what's already there.
13. Do I need to shrink my screen recordings before uploading?
Not in the editor. Raw screen recordings are often larger than the render canvas (a retina Mac records at 2872Ć1418), which is more than the renderer can process ā so the editor resizes anything above 1920Ć1080 automatically as you add it, keeping the aspect ratio. You don't need to do anything.
Two cases where it still matters:
-
Adding a clip through the Rovo agent. The agent attaches files straight from the work item without resizing them, so an oversized video is refused with a message asking you to add it from the editor instead. Add it in the editor and it'll be resized on the way in.
-
An older browser. The editor's resizing needs a current browser. On one that can't do it, the clip uploads at its original size and the render may fail partway ā resize it yourself before uploading.
If a render does fail on a large clip, it's the pixel dimensions that matter, not the file type: re-saving a .mov as .mp4 at the same size won't help.
14. Who can see my Storyboard AI videos?
Anyone who can see the Jira work item can see its videos. Storyboard AI derives access from the work item's own Jira permissions: Browse Projects to view a storyboard and its renders, Edit Issues to change or render one. To restrict access, restrict the work item.
15. What happens if someone on my team leaves Jira?
Their personal info is automatically cleared from Storyboard AI, in line with Atlassian's privacy requirements. Storyboards stay with their work items and remain accessible to anyone else with permission on those items.
16. How do I trim or split a video clip?
Open the frame editor and click Edit (the scissors icon) on a video frame. In Split & Trim Video, drag the yellow handles to set where the clip starts and ends, or press S to cut it at the playhead. Click Create N Frames and each segment becomes its own frame. The video editor is only in the frame editor; the Rovo agent can't trim clips. See Trim and split a video clip.
17. Can I turn Jira screenshots into a video?
Yes. Storyboard AI turns the screenshots and screen recordings on a Jira work item into a narrated, captioned MP4. Open the work item, click Open editor in the Storyboard AI panel, add the images as frames, and click Generate Video. Or ask the Storyboard AI agent in Rovo to build the video from the files already attached to the work item.
18. Can I add my company logo to the video?
Yes. In the editor, open Cover Settings and upload a PNG, SVG or JPG logo up to 2 MB. Storyboard AI shows it on the cover frame and in the corner you choose on every frame of the video. See Cover frame and logo branding.
