About the storyboard and timeline
The area where you create and edit your project is displayed in two views, the storyboard and the timeline. You can switch between these two views when making a movie.
In Help, the following notation is used to indicate the difference between working on the storyboard or timeline.
- Storyboard/timeline. Indicates that the task can be performed on both the storyboard and timeline.
- Storyboard. Indicates that the task can be performed on the storyboard only.
- Timeline. Indicates that the task can be performed on the timeline only.
About the storyboard
The storyboard is the default view in Windows Movie Maker. You can use the storyboard to look at the sequence or ordering of the clips in your project and easily rearrange them, if necessary. This view also lets you see any video effects or video transitions that have been added. You can also preview all of the clips in your current project. Audio clips that you have added to a project are not displayed on the storyboard; however, they are displayed in the timeline.

About the timeline
You can use the timeline to review or modify the timing of clips in your project. Use the timeline buttons to perform tasks such as changing the view of your project, zooming in or out on details of your project, recording narration, or adjusting the audio levels. The time is displayed as hours:minutes:seconds.hundreths of a second (h:mm:ss.hs). To trim unwanted portions of your clip, use the trim handles, which appear when you select a clip. You can also preview all of the clips in your current project which are displayed on the timeline.
The timeline displays the following tracks to indicate what types of files you have added to your current project. And there are:
Video
The Video track lets you see what video clips, pictures, or titles you have added to the project. You can expand the Video track to show the corresponding audio accompanying the video, as well as any video transitions you have added. After a clip is added to the timeline, the name of the source file appears on that clip. If you add any video effects to the picture, video, or title, a small icon appears on the clips to indicate that a video effect has been added to that clip.
Transition
The Transition track lets you see any video transitions you have added to the timeline. This track only appears if you have expanded the Video track. Any video transitions you add from the Video Transitions folder appear on this track. When a transition is added to the timeline, the name of the transition is shown in the timeline. You can drag the start trim handle that appears when the transition is selected to increase or decrease its duration.
Audio
The Audio track lets you see the audio that is included in any video clips you have added to the project. Like the Transition track, you can only see the Audio track if you have expanded the Video track. If you select the audio clip on this track and delete it, the video portion is also removed from the Video track.
Audio/Music
The Audio/Music track lets you see any audio clips that you have added to the project. The name of the audio clip appears on the clip.
You can also add video clips to this track if you want the audio, but not the video, to play in your project and final movie.
Title Overlay
The Title Overlay track lets you see any titles or credits that you have added to the timeline. You can add multiple titles to this track at different points in your movie. The titles overlay the video that is displayed. You can drag the start or end trim handle that appears when the title is selected to increase or decrease its duration.

What is a Storyboard?
Developed during the pre-production stage and used throughout the production and post-production stages, a storyboard is a series of diagrams that are used to depict the composition of a video segment. Each diagram consists of: a sketch of the video image; a brief description of the visual; notes for the camera operator; the details of the desired audio that will accompany the visual; and an estimate of how long the segment will be. The storyboard cards are then placed in order to provide the foundation for capturing the proper footage and for making the correct editing decisions. Here is an example of what a storyboard card might look like.
Why is a Storyboard Necessary?
When sequenced, the storyboard diagrams should act as a guide for the production and post production stages of producing a video. Without a well defined storyboard collection, the director's job becomes unmanageable.
The storyboard becomes a valuable tool for everyone involved with the production. When the director, camera operator, talent, and editing team all have the same understanding of the goals of the video, a quality production becomes obtainable.
Creating a storyboard also allows the production team to experiment with different ideas and sequences before taping any segments. Individuals can sketch and explain their visions of what the flow of presentation should be. During the pre-production stage, adjustments can be made to the projections of the completed video, which will save valuable production and post production time. The production and editing teams do not need to guess as to what type of footage might be needed and how it might all fit together. If the proper segments are recorded, as called for by the storyboard, the editing process should flow smoothly.
The other advantage of having individual storyboard cards is that it can be re-shuffled into an order that will facilitate the production stage. Once the desired order of the segments are identified for the final product, the director can then rearrange the order of the cards to plan how to record each segment while minimizing the number of equipment and set changes.
How do I Create a Storyboard?
In the Storyboard Template section, you can see what a storyboard might look like. Variations of this storyboard can be made to suit your needs, but should include these basic sections: sketch, video information, audio information, camera operation instructions, the time of the segment, and a segment number.
