Bilibili Video Storyboard and Shot List

Specific Problem Addressed

Before Bilibili video production, creators need to convert topics, titles, outlines, or scripts into structured visual storyboards for alignment among UP hosts, directors, photographers, and editors. Manually creating shot lists and storyboards is time-consuming and error-prone, leading to missed shot details, confused timing, or unclear compositions, which hinders collaboration. For series planning or complex narratives, the lack of standardized tools to generate reviewable chapter-based storyboards impedes pre-production decisions.

How the Skill Works

This skill automates the conversion of Bilibili materials into reviewable chapter-based video storyboards. Its core capabilities include:

• Shot List Generation: From input materials (e.g., topics, titles, outlines, or scripts), it outputs a complete text shot list. Each shot details chapters and narrative beats, time ranges, subjects and actions, shot types and compositions (e.g., medium shot or close-up), camera positions and expected movements (e.g., push shot or fixed position), voiceover or audio cues, B-roll or graphic suggestions, and concise static frame descriptions.

• Key Storyboard Creation: After reviewing the shot list, users select one to four key shots, and the skill generates visual storyboards for them. Before creation, it reads real-time model cards, displaying routes, full prompts, reference orders, aspect ratios, quantities, model behaviors, and current prices; users must confirm the frozen plan before paid image requests are executed.

The key steps follow the core workflow:

1. Material Transformation: Input Bilibili topics, titles, outlines, or scripts to generate a free text shot list, ensuring each shot has one frame task with transitions or retention beats.
2. Review and Selection: Users review the full shot sequence, select shots needing key storyboards, and retain necessary elements like characters, aspect ratios, and visual directions.
3. Model Confirmation: Before creating key storyboards, read the real-time model card of selected image capabilities, showing all details; work only begins after user confirmation.
4. Execution and Delivery: Operations are executed via the bundled scripts/mcp_client.py, with each shot as an independent count: 1 request. Task IDs are tracked to completion, delivering ordered shot lists, key storyboards, actual dimensions and formats, parsed models, task identifiers, and billing facts.

Applicable Boundaries and Considerations

This skill is tailored for Bilibili video content, such as knowledge explanations, reviews, tutorials, vlogs, games, animations, and creative videos. Boundaries include:

• For Bilibili thumbnail creation only, use bilibili-thumbnail-maker.
• For general storyboards in film, advertising, animation, social videos, or creative proposals, use ai-storyboard-generator.
• For complete video production after storyboarding, continue with beatra-ai-video-studio.
• For publishing copy, use bilibili-publishing-pack.

Considerations:

• Key storyboard creation involves paid services; visual corrections or additions are new paid tasks requiring fresh confirmation.
• Runtime updates check every 24 hours automatically; update failures do not affect existing functionality but do not authorize extra paid requests.
• Operations must be executed through the bundled client; do not configure or call other fallback methods.
• If task IDs are missing, use beatra.tasks.list to find candidate tasks to avoid duplicate payments.
