Software feature launch · Production guide
Software launch video storyboard template with real UI actions
Use three columns: viewer question, exact UI action and visible outcome. In the Ciyo cup example the operator selects the original again before making the second background.
Input and decision
Start with a screenshot of the initial state, follow one actual interaction, and finish on the visible outcome. Use the cup recording's second edit to practise the mapping.
Set up the comparison
Write the UI label and source time beside the corresponding panel. Check that the voiceover never claims a result that has not appeared yet.
Make the comparison
Freeze the publication cut immediately before the dark edit. Trace its selection back to the original cup and add that shot to the storyboard.
Worked record
The downloadable worksheet includes the records below and a blank row for your own project.
| Beat | User question | Action | Visible result | Source time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Problem | What changes? | Show original cup | Single approved input | Opening still |
| Warm edit | Where do I start? | Select original | First variation | 147–187 s source |
| Dark edit | Is this a chain? | Select original again | Second variation | 264–304 s source |
Check the result
Ask a reviewer to follow the storyboard against the recorded interface. An invented button is an error even when it makes the visual sequence shorter.
Hand off the revision
Attach a source interval to each board panel, especially the second return to the original cup.
Review question
Did the dark version use the warm image as its input?
Both came from the original cup. The warm edit is at 147–187 s of the source recording. The dark edit at 264–304 s selects the original again.
Use the task on your own brief
Use a copy of the worksheet to keep the project’s source files, reviewed options and decisions together.
