How to Use the Gallery Inside the Storyboard in Videfy

The Gallery feature inside the Storyboard of Videfy allows users to browse, search, and select visuals for their video projects with ease. Whether you’re looking for specific images or exploring previously created content, the Gallery streamlines the process. Here’s a guide to help you understand how to use the Gallery effectively within the Storyboard.

​
1. Switch to Extended Mode

Before you can access the Gallery, you’ll need to make sure you’re in Extended Mode.
  • In the Storyboard section, locate the Compact/Extended button at the top-right corner of your screen.
  • Click Extended to switch to the full view, which will enable access to additional features like the Gallery tab.
Without switching to Extended Mode, the Gallery tab won’t be visible, and you won’t be able to browse through images. Once in Extended Mode:
  1. Navigate to the Gallery Tab: At the top of the screen, you’ll see several options such as Gen AI, Gallery, and My Items. Click on the Gallery tab to enter the visual library.
Once inside the Gallery, you can view a variety of images that can be used in your scenes:
  • Categories: The Gallery is organized to help you find the right visual. You can browse through different categories, including Image, Video, Overlay, and Audio.
  • My Creations: This section lets you access the visuals you’ve previously generated or uploaded. You can filter by “My Creations” or “Public Gallery” to view your content or content shared by other users.

​
4. Searching for Images

You can quickly find specific images using the Search bar at the top of the Gallery section:
  • Enter Keywords: Simply type in keywords like “home,” “beautiful sky,” or “castle” to search for relevant images.
  • Refine Results: Once you search, you’ll see images that match your description. You can further refine the results using filters like style, color, or type of visual content.

​
5. Selecting Images for Your Scene

After you’ve found an image or video that fits your scene:
  1. Click on the Image: Once you’ve found an image (or video) you want to use, click on it to view it in full size. This will open a detailed view of the visual, where you can see the associated prompt and other relevant information.
  2. Assigning the Image to the Scene:
    • Use the Round Button: To assign the image or video to the current scene, click the round button at the top right corner of the image (this button will apply the visual to the scene you are working on).
    • Drag and Drop: Alternatively, you can drag-and-drop the image or video directly onto the scene in the timeline or storyboard. This will automatically assign it to that specific scene.
    • Drag to Timeline: If you don’t want to assign the visual to a scene immediately, you can simply drag it to the timeline. This will place the visual in the timeline without associating it with any particular scene, allowing you to manually adjust it later.
  3. Preview the Image: Once the image is assigned, it will appear in the scene on your storyboard, and you can preview how it looks in the timeline below.
  4. Adjust the Visual: You can now adjust the timing and placement of the visual in the timeline to match the flow of your video.
To help manage your search and selection process, Videfy provides some useful settings inside the Gallery:
  • Columns per Row: You can select from 1 to 8 images per row. This setting determines how many images will be displayed in each row of the Gallery. Choose the number that works best for your preference.
  • Filters: Filters allow you to narrow down your search. Use these options to find images that meet your specific needs, whether by color, style, or theme.
  • My Creations: This section shows only the images you have created. It’s perfect for reusing visuals you’ve already worked with in past projects.
  • Public Gallery: In this section, you can view images shared by other users. It’s a great way to get inspiration or find unique visuals you may not have thought of.
Once you’ve selected and added visuals from the Gallery, you can return to your Storyboard to:
  • Preview the Scene: Make sure the visuals fit well with your narrative. Adjust the scene length if necessary.
  • Go To Video Studio: Once everything looks good, click Go to Video Studio to further edit your video, add audio, or make any final adjustments.
  • Use the Search Function: For fast and efficient image selection, use the search bar with specific keywords.
  • Check Consistency: Ensure that the images you select maintain visual consistency throughout the scenes to create a unified look for your video.
  • Explore Public Content: Don’t hesitate to check out the public gallery for inspiration and visuals you can adapt to your project.
With the Gallery inside the Storyboard in Videfy, finding and using visuals has never been easier. The search and filter features allow you to quickly find the perfect image, while the My Creations and Public Gallery options ensure that you have plenty of content to work with. By following this guide, you can seamlessly integrate high-quality visuals into your video and enhance your storytelling. In addition to accessing the Gallery within the Storyboard, you can also access it through the left side menu in the main interface and Video Studio:

​
Video Studio:

If you’re currently in the Storyboard, click Go to Video Studio to switch to Video Studio mode.
  • Navigate to the Gallery: Once you’re in Video Studio, you’ll find the Gallery tab in the navigation panel at the top center of the screen. Click on the Gallery tab to access the visual library, where you can browse, search, and select images, videos, and other visuals for your project. You can assign visuals to scenes from here, just like in the Storyboard.
For more detailed information on using the Gallery in Video Studio, see this article: [Video Studio Gallery].
  1. Open the Menu: From anywhere in the interface, click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the top left corner of the screen. This will open the left side menu.
  2. Select Gallery: In the dropdown menu, click Gallery to open the visual library. This section is purely for browsing and downloading visuals. You won’t be able to assign images to scenes or work with your project directly from this gallery. Instead, it’s a place to:
    • Download content to use later.
    • Get inspiration by exploring visuals shared by others.
    • View your creations or browse the Public Gallery.
