Story frame sequence builder with timed cards and CSV export

Set the scene, show the useful detail and give the next action. Write the overlay text and visual direction for each frame, then choose its duration. The preview shows three timed cards and the total sequence length; the CSV keeps those notes ready for handoff.

For: Creators and small teams briefing a short three-frame story. Use it to: Map supplied overlay text and visual directions into an ordered, timed production plan.

Plan a timed three-frame story

Enter a sequence title and complete the overlay, visual direction and duration for each frame. Review the time ranges before downloading the CSV.

Frame 1: Set the scene
Frame 2: Show the useful detail
Frame 3: Give the next action

These are editable production notes and time ranges for a three-frame story. Choose timing for your own destination and review readability before making the media.

Timed frame handoff

Complete the required fields to prepare your export.

CSV exports keep formula-like entries as text. Start and end positions are cumulative seconds within this plan.

Your entered text and selected files stay in your browser.

Plan three clear beats

Frame 1 sets the scene, Frame 2 shows the useful detail and Frame 3 gives the next action. Each frame needs your overlay text and visual direction. Keep the words short enough for the intended reader and give the production team a concrete visual task.

Read the cumulative timings

The fictional example uses durations of 3, 5 and 4 seconds. That produces ranges 0–3, 3–8 and 8–12 seconds, with a total of 12 seconds. Each duration must be a whole number from 1 to 30 seconds. A zero, fractional or out-of-range duration disables export until corrected.

Hand off the frame plan

  • The CSV records sequence title, frame number and role, start and end seconds, duration, overlay text, visual direction, owner and review status.
  • The time ranges are production notes within this sequence. Choose your own destination and check its current requirements separately.
  • Review factual claims and reading time before making the media. This tool creates a plan rather than publishing a story.
  • Formula-like supplied text is prefixed with an apostrophe in CSV exports; original wording is retained apart from surrounding whitespace.
