- Line 42: Update the project persistence plan to include storyboard
serialization in createProjectData, define the v2-to-v3 migration alongside
EditorProjectData validation and normalization, and add a save/load round-trip
test covering existing projects without storyboard data.
- Line 64: The Markdown source view plan must define a single canonical source
of truth before adding parsing or editing: specify whether Markdown is embedded
in, imported into, exported from, or authoritative over
EditorProjectData.storyboard, and document how conflicts and persistence are
resolved. Update the Markdown source view and useProjectSaveActions plan
accordingly so edits cannot diverge or be silently overwritten.
- Line 37: Correct the storyboard reuse mappings on lines 37 and 79: describe
exportNativeStaticLayoutVideo() only as a static-layout wrapper for an existing
input video, duration, and optional single audio source. Select or add a
frame-sequence exporter that supports storyboard frame ordering, per-frame
durations, transitions, and narration timing, and update both entries to
reference that exporter.

Correct the animatic export mapping.
exportNativeStaticLayoutVideo() accepts one durationSec for an existing input video. It does not accept storyboard frame durations, transitions, or a frame list. timelineSegments only maps source-video ranges. audioOptions can mux one audio source, but it does not provide per-frame narration timing. Update lines 37 and 79 to describe this function as a static-layout wrapper. Select or add a frame-sequence exporter for storyboard ordering, durations, transitions, and narration.

Include the persisted-data writer and migration in the plan.
createProjectData in src/components/video-editor/projectPersistence.ts:1139-1150 currently returns only version, projectId, videoPath, and editor. Updating EditorProjectData, validation, and normalization without updating this factory will silently drop storyboard data on save.
Also define the v2-to-v3 migration and add a save/load round-trip test for existing projects.
Also applies to: 62-62, 74-74

| 1. **Board grid + frame card component** — nothing kanban/grid-like exists; compose from `ui/card.tsx` + grid. Frame reorder = simple dnd (reuse `@dnd-kit`-free approach or `dnd-timeline`'s underlying kit is timeline-specific, so a minimal sortable list is fine). | ||
| 2. **Storyboard data model** — frames (title, beat, duration, transition in/out, focal point, status), per-frame comments, narration script reference, review-pass state. Lives as a `storyboard` block inside `EditorProjectData`; **bump `PROJECT_VERSION`** and extend `normalizeProjectEditor`. | ||
| 3. **Review workflow** — pass states (plan/sketch/build/animate), review banner state machine, comment save + "copy approval message". New, small, pure state machine → easy to test. | ||
| 4. **Markdown source view** — no markdown dependency in the repo today. Either add a tiny MD serializer/parser for `STORYBOARD.md`/`SCRIPT.md`-style round-tripping, or ship the source view as JSON first. Text editing itself: `ui/input.tsx`/textarea + the `Saved/Save` button pattern from `useProjectSaveActions`. |

Define one canonical Markdown source of truth.
The plan adds storyboard to EditorProjectData but also proposes STORYBOARD.md/SCRIPT.md round-tripping. Define whether Markdown is embedded, imported, exported, or authoritative, and define conflict behavior before adding the parser. Otherwise, Markdown edits may diverge from the persisted storyboard block and be overwritten.

Description
Adds
docs/storyboard-reuse-map.md: a file-by-file map of how a new Storyboard feature (a planning board for videos — frame cards with outline/built/animated status chips, pass-based review banner, per-frame comments, narration script, and a preview mode with frame timeline + keyframe editing + animatic export) can be built by reusing the existing editor codebase.Motivation
We want to add a storyboard workspace for planning videos before they're recorded/edited (board of frame cards → review passes → preview timeline → export animatic). Before writing code, this PR inventories what already exists in the repo that we can reuse and where it plugs in, so implementation composes the editor instead of duplicating it.
Key findings:
TimelineEditor(prop-driven) +KeyframeMarkersfor the preview timeline,VideoPlayback+ pure math invideoPlayback/for frame animation,FrameRenderer.renderFramefor card thumbnails,exportNativeStaticLayoutVideo(ffmpeg) for animatic export,EditorProjectDatapersistence + autosave + undo/redo, the shadcn UI kit, i18n, and the whisper/captions + waveform stack for narration.storyboardblock in the project schema (version bump), the review-pass state machine, markdown source view, and one smallbadge.tsxprimitive.ExtensionManager.tsxis a disabled placeholder — so the doc recommends awindowType="storyboard"window (or an editor sidebar section).Type of Change
