01 Interface Overview

GoroSolution uses a three-column layout on desktop. Understanding what each area does makes everything else click.

The Three Columns

• Left Sidebar — Your control panel. Film concept input, visual style, aspect ratio, scene mood, scene count, and the Generate button live here. Everything that controls what gets created.
• Main Area (Center) — Your storyboard canvas. Generated scenes appear here as cards in a grid. This is where your story lives.
• Right Sidebar — Your production dashboard. Stats (scene count, image count, progress bar), batch actions (Generate All, PDF, ZIP, JSON), Story Bible, and your project history.

The Header Bar

• GoroSolution logo — Click to refresh the page / start new storyboard
• Status bar (center) — Shows real-time generation status. "Ready", "Generating scene 3 of 8", "Done"
• Theme toggle — Dark/light mode. Your preference is saved automatically
• History link — Quick access to all saved projects
• Profile dropdown — Account settings, billing, saved storyboards, sign out
• PRO badge or Upgrade button — Shows your current plan
• Credit pill — Live credit counter with ring progress indicator. Hover to see full breakdown
• Clear All button — Appears when scenes exist. Clears the entire board (with confirmation)

Mobile Layout

On mobile, the interface reorganises into a vertical flow. The Film Concept input and Generate button appear at the top as a sticky bar. All settings (style, mood, ratio, count) move into the Command Drawer — tap the Command button to open it. The right sidebar batch actions also move there under the Actions tab.

02 Generating Your First Storyboard

Here is the exact step-by-step workflow from blank page to a complete storyboard:

03 Managing Your Scenes

Each scene card has a full set of controls. Here is what every button and element does:

Scene Card Anatomy

• Act badge — Top left of card. Shows "Act 1", "Act 2", "Act 3", or custom. Click to change.
• Scene number — Auto-assigned. Updates automatically when you reorder.
• Drag handle (⠿) — Left edge of card. Click and drag to reorder scenes.
• Scene title — Bold heading. Click the edit (✏️) button to change.
• Story beat — Italic line below title. The dramatic action of the scene.
• Description — Full scene description. What's happening visually and narratively.
• Image area — Shows placeholder until image is generated. Generated image fills this area.

Scene Action Buttons

• Generate Image — Generates the AI image for this specific scene using its Image Prompt
• Regenerate — Appears after image is generated. Creates a new image from the same prompt
• Edit (✏️) — Opens the full Edit Scene modal
• Preview (expand) — Opens fullscreen image preview with navigation arrows
• Download — Saves the generated image to your device
• Share — Creates a shareable link for this scene
• Delete (🗑️) — Removes this scene with confirmation prompt

Reordering Scenes

Drag the handle on the left side of any scene card to reorder. Scene numbers update automatically. The Story Bible in the right sidebar regenerates to reflect the new order.

04 Generating Images

Image generation is separate from storyboard generation. You choose when to generate images and for which scenes.

Three Ways to Generate Images

• Per scene: Click "Generate Image" on any individual scene card
• All at once: Click "Generate All Images" in the board header or right sidebar batch actions
• Bulk: Select multiple scenes (upcoming feature) and generate selected

Image Quality Phases

GoroSolution uses a two-phase generation system to give paid users the best quality first:

• Phase 1 — Ultra HD (Dev model) — Highest quality. Rich detail, accurate prompt following, cinematic output. Each image costs 1 credit. Img2Img costs 2 credits.
• Phase 2 — HD Fallback (Schnell model) — Activates automatically when your Ultra HD credits run out. Good quality, slightly faster. 1 credit per image. Img2Img not available in this phase.
• Free Plan — Standard quality. 5 generations per day (resets at midnight).

The Credit Ring in the Header

The circular ring in the top-right header shows your remaining credits visually. The ring fills with colour — green = plenty left, yellow = running low, red = nearly empty. The number in the center shows exact remaining credits.

Stopping Mid-Generation

When generating all images, a Stop button appears in the board header. Click it to stop after the current scene finishes generating. Already-generated images are kept.

05 Editing Scenes — The Edit Modal

Every scene has a full editing modal. Open it by clicking the ✏️ edit button on any scene card. Here's every field explained:

Basic Fields

• Scene Title — Name of this scene. Short and descriptive.
• Act — Dropdown: Act 1 (Setup), Act 2 (Confrontation), Act 3 (Resolution), or Custom.
• Story Beat — One line describing the dramatic action. "Hero discovers the truth." "The villain makes his offer."

Image Prompt Section

• Image Prompt — The visual description for AI image generation. This is the most important field. Include character DNA, setting, lighting, camera angle, colour grade. See the Prompt Guide for the full formula.
• Visual Style — Specific aesthetic for this scene (can differ from global style)
• Audio Cues — Sound design for the video version. Rain, silence, orchestra swell, car engine.
• Continuity Note — How this scene connects visually to the previous one. "Picks up from rooftop — same rain"

Video Prompt Section (Veo3)

• Video Prompt — Full 8-second motion breakdown for video AI engines. Use timed format: [0–2s], [2–5s], [5–8s].

Last Frame Section

• Last Frame — Describes the final visual moment of this scene. This feeds directly into the next scene's Image Prompt when using Continue Story. Always fill this in.

After editing, click Save Changes. The scene card updates immediately. Any previously generated image for this scene will be marked as outdated — regenerate it to reflect your changes.

06 Adding Custom Scenes

Custom scenes are blank scenes you create manually — the AI doesn't write the content, you do. Perfect for specific moments the AI missed, transition scenes, or flashbacks.

How to Add Custom Scenes

• From left sidebar: Choose how many (1, 2, 3, 5, or 10) from the "Add Custom Scene" row, then click "Add Custom Scene" button
• From board header: Click "Add Scene" button
• From right sidebar: Click "Add Custom Scene" in Batch Actions
• On mobile: Tap "Add Custom Scene" in the sticky bar below the concept input

What Happens When You Add a Custom Scene

A blank scene card appears at the top of your board (or at the end, depending on setting). It shows an empty placeholder with an "Edit" prompt. Open the Edit modal and fill in your scene details — title, story beat, image prompt. Then click "Generate Image" to render the visual.

07 Continue Story

Continue Story is one of GoroSolution's most powerful features. After your initial storyboard is generated, you can extend it — the AI reads your existing scenes and writes the next chapter, maintaining all characters, settings, and narrative threads.

How to Use Continue Story

1. Generate your initial storyboard (any number of scenes)
2. The Continue Story button appears below the main Generate button
3. Select how many additional scenes to add (1, 2, 5, or 10)
4. Click "Continue Story" — new scenes are added below your existing ones

How the AI Continues Your Story

The AI reads your last 3–5 scenes to understand: current location, active characters, emotional state, narrative tension, and what was in your Last Frame fields. It then generates logically connected next scenes.

Getting Better Continuations

• Always fill in the Last Frame field in your final scene before continuing
• Edit your last scene's Continuity Note to hint at where the story should go
• Update your Film Concept with any story developments you want the continuation to know about

08 Image-to-Image (Img2Img)

Img2Img is a Pro and Basic feature that lets you upload a reference image. The AI uses your image as the starting visual and reshapes it according to your Image Prompt.

Where to Find It

On each scene card, below the standard Generate Image button, you'll see the Img2Img toggle — a dashed gold button labelled "Use Reference Image". Click it to expand the panel.

Step-by-Step

1. Click the Img2Img toggle to open the panel
2. Drop an image into the dropzone, or click to browse your files (JPG, PNG, WEBP, max 4MB)
3. Your image appears as a preview thumbnail
4. Adjust the Influence slider (10%–100%) — higher means staying closer to your reference
5. Make sure your Image Prompt describes what you want the AI to change or emphasise
6. Click Generate Image — the AI blends your reference with the prompt

Img2Img Phase Restriction

Img2Img is only available during the Ultra HD phase. When your Ultra HD credits are exhausted and the system switches to HD Fallback, the Img2Img panel shows a locked state. Top up your credits or wait for the next reset to re-enable it.

Credit Cost

Standard generation: 1 credit. Img2Img generation: 2 credits (uses more compute for the image blending process).

09 Exporting Your Storyboard

GoroSolution offers four export formats. Find them all in the board header or the right sidebar Batch Actions.

PDF Export

Generates a professional storyboard PDF with all scenes, images, descriptions, and prompts laid out in a presentation-ready format. Ideal for pitching to producers, directors, and studios. Each scene gets a full page with image, story beat, description, and act label.

• All generated images are included at full resolution
• Scenes without images show a placeholder
• GoroSolution branding included in header/footer

ZIP Download

Downloads all generated images as a ZIP archive. Each image is named with its scene number and title. Use this when you want to take the images into other software — Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Figma, etc.

JSON Export

Exports your entire storyboard as a structured JSON file. This includes every field — titles, story beats, descriptions, image prompts, video prompts, last frames, act labels, and image URLs. Use this for:

• Feeding video prompts directly into Veo3, Kling, or other video AI tools
• Archiving your storyboard data independently
• Importing into custom workflows or production pipelines
• Reloading into GoroSolution later (upcoming import feature)

Individual Scene Download

On each scene card, there's a Download button (⬇️) that saves just that scene's image. Use it for quick grabs without exporting the whole project.

10 Understanding the Credit System

Credits are the currency of image generation in GoroSolution. Storyboard text generation (scenes, descriptions, prompts) is free and unlimited. Credits are only consumed when generating images.

Credit Costs

• Standard image generation — 1 credit
• Img2Img generation — 2 credits (Pro/Basic only)
• Scene text generation — 0 credits (free)
• Continue Story — 0 credits for text, 1 credit per image if you generate

Free Plan

5 image generations per day. Resets at midnight in your local timezone. When you hit the limit, a notification appears. You can still generate text scenes and edit your storyboard — just not new images until reset.

Paid Plans — Two-Phase System

Paid plans get a pool of Ultra HD credits plus a pool of HD Fallback credits:

• Phase 1 (Ultra HD) — Highest quality. Used first. Shows as "Ultra HD" in the credit card widget.
• Phase 2 (HD Fallback) — Activates automatically when Phase 1 runs out. Slightly lower quality but still very good.

The Credit Card Widget (Right Sidebar)

The credit card in the right sidebar shows your full credit breakdown in real time — plan name, phase, credits used and remaining for each tier, progress bars, Img2Img availability, and when your credits reset.

When Credits Run Out

When all credits are exhausted, image generation pauses. You can still work on your storyboard text. Credits reset on the schedule shown in your credit card widget (daily for free, monthly for paid).

11 History & Project Management

GoroSolution automatically saves your storyboard as you work. You don't need to manually save unless you want to save a specific version.

Auto-Save

Every generation, edit, reorder, and image generates a save checkpoint. The save status appears in the header center bar — "Saved" with a green check. If something goes wrong, your work is preserved.

Manual Save

Click the floppy disk icon (💾) in the right sidebar Batch Actions or in the profile dropdown to force a save. Useful before major edits or when you want to create a recovery point.

Accessing Your History

• History link in the header — Opens full History page
• Recent Projects in right sidebar — Shows your last 5 projects directly in the sidebar
• History tab in mobile drawer — Quick access on mobile

The History Page

At history.php, you see all your saved storyboards as cards — thumbnail, title, date, scene count, image count. Click any project to reload it into the main editor.

Deleting Projects

On the History page, each project card has a delete button. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
