The two picture modes in StrokeVideo, side by side, and a quick way to pick.
Updated: 2026-10-22
Choose one board per paragraph when your script moves through separate ideas, scenes or steps. Choose one big picture, drawn as you go, when everything you talk about belongs in the same place: the parts of a machine, the rooms of a building, the stages of a cycle. If you are unsure, keep the default, one board per paragraph.
This is the default. Each section of narration gets its own drawing, roughly every twelve to sixteen seconds of speech, and the board changes when the topic changes. It suits stories with scene changes, arguments that build point by point, list videos with a number card per point, and most YouTube explainers. Each board is drawn stroke by stroke while the voice reads the matching words.
Also called the guided tour. The whole video is one complete drawing, and each object appears the moment the narration names it, then stays on the board. By the end the viewer is looking at a finished diagram they watched being built. It suits layouts and lineups: anatomy, a temple plan, a food web, a family tree, a timeline, the steps of a process. Longer scripts, over about three minutes, are split into two or three acts with one picture each.
Read your script and ask: could everything I mention sit on one poster? If yes, one big picture. If the video jumps between places, people or ideas that would never share a poster, one board per paragraph. Abstract arguments and stories almost always want separate boards; structures almost always want the single picture.
In the create panel, find the Picture setting and choose One board per paragraph or One big picture, drawn as you go (guided tour). Both modes work with every drawing style, every narration language and both landscape and vertical frames, including the free daily video.
One board per paragraph.
Yes. Both modes are available on the free daily video, up to 2 minutes, with no watermark.
Yes. Scripts over about three minutes are split into two or three acts, each with its own picture.
For most channels, one board per paragraph, because it changes picture with each idea. Use one big picture for videos about a single structure, like a building, a map or a body system.
