+ PETECUT EDITING WORKFLOW

How to storyboard a short product demo before editing.

A lightweight storyboard prevents a demo from becoming a list of disconnected product shots.

01 / PLAN

Start with the result and the source

Define one audience problem and one demonstrated result. Each shot should answer a viewer question or prove a claim rather than repeat what the narration already says.

Make the main editorial decision before adding polish. A clear message, stable timeline, and intentional aspect ratio make captions, music, graphics, and export settings easier to judge.

02 / WORKFLOW

Complete the workflow step by step

  1. Prepare.

    Write the audience, problem, demonstrated result, and CTA at the top of the storyboard.

  2. Set up.

    Plan five beats: hook, context, key action, visible proof, and next step.

  3. Create.

    List the exact shot, on-screen text, and narration needed for every beat.

  4. Review.

    Collect media, assemble the sequence in PeteCut, and remove any beat that does not strengthen the result.

03 / QUALITY CHECK

Review the result before the next step

Watch the full export outside the editor. Review it once with sound and once muted, then check text placement and framing at the size of the intended screen.

Final checklist
  • The product appears early enough.
  • Every claim has visible support.
  • The main action is easy to follow.
  • The CTA matches the demonstrated outcome.

04 / QUESTIONS

Common question

Do I need to draw a storyboard?

No. A simple table listing scene, visual, narration, and duration is enough for many short creator workflows.

Can I update this workflow later?

Yes. Save the source and project details, then update the relevant settings, content, or output when the destination requirements change.

Ready when you are.
