# Capturing Tips

Storyonboards is an innovative Chrome extension designed to transform the way you create storyboards  from online videos. With its intuitive interface, users can seamlessly capture video stills and compile them into a comprehensive storyboard. This guide will walk you through two essential features of Storyonboards that can elevate your storyboarding process: Cross-Video Storyboarding and Data Synchronization.

### Cross-Video Storyboarding&#x20;

**Maximize Your Storyboarding Potential Across Multiple Videos**

One of the standout features of Storyonboards is its ability to allow cross-video storyboarding. Here's how you can make the most of this feature:

**Open Multiple Video Tabs:** Start by opening multiple video pages in your Chrome browser. Whether you're analyzing scenes from a movie, documentary, or tutorial videos, you can have several tabs open simultaneously.

**Seamless Tab Switching:** As you watch each video, you can easily switch between tabs. Storyonboards enables you to capture screenshots from any video tab, ensuring each selected frame contributes to a cohesive storyboard.

**Unified Script Creation:** All captured video frames from different sources can be compiled into a single storyboard script. This allows for a more dynamic and detailed analysis, combining the unique elements from multiple videos into one project.

### Data Synchronization

**Effortless Saving and Access Across Platforms**

Data synchronization in Storyonboards ensures that your work is saved and accessible. Here's how it benefits you:

**Automatic Syncing on Export:** When you export your storyboard script from the Storyonboards extension, it will automatically synchronize with your Storyonboards account. This feature ensures that your work is always saved and can be accessed later.

**Access Any where Anytime:** Once synchronized, you can login to your Storyonboards account via the web application. Your latest storyboard drafts will be available for you to view and edit online, offering greater flexibility to fine-tune your storyboard when ever inspiration strikes.

By leveraging the Cross-Video Storyboarding and Data Synchronization features, you can enhance your creative process and deliver more compelling, well-structured storyboard scripts. Storyonboards not only empowers you to capture the essence of your vision but also ensures your projects are secure and accessible whenever you need them.

Happy storyboarding!
