Scenes and Takes
Scenes and takes are the building blocks of your storyboard.
Scenes
A scene represents a single shot or moment in your video sequence.
Scene properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Identifier for the scene (auto-generated, editable) |
| Duration | Length of the shot in seconds |
| Narrative | Text description of what happens |
| Visual descriptions | Reference images that inspire the look |
| Custom fields | Additional metadata you define |
Working with scenes
- Add scenes manually or generate them with Mito Director
- Edit any property by clicking directly in the table or card view
- Reorder scenes by dragging them in the timeline
- Duplicate a scene to create variations
- Delete scenes you no longer need
Takes
A take is an AI-generated video for a specific scene.
Take status
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Video is currently generating |
| Ready | Video is complete and ready to view |
| Failed | Generation encountered an error |
Working with takes
- Generate takes from the scene drawer
- Create multiple takes to explore different creative directions
- Click a take to preview it
- Download takes for use in production
Generating a take

The take appears in the scene's take list once ready.
Best practices
- Write clear narratives — Detailed descriptions help when generating video
