Signing in & your account
Accounts, the 500 free starting credits, and what anonymous visitors can do.
Storylines uses standard email/SSO sign-in. Your account is what ties together your workspace, your boards, your credit balance, and your agents.
New accounts start with 500 free credits — that covers roughly an hour of footage import, or a lot of AI chat. Free credits power core editing features; a few premium things (media generation, skill training) need purchased credits. The full breakdown is in how credits work.
Visiting without signing in: you can open a board someone shares with you and watch it live, but anonymously you're read-only — playback works, editing and AI don't. Sign in to join the board with a real role.
Teams: if your company uses Storylines with an organization account, signing in with your work email lands you in the shared team workspace automatically — agents and skills your teammates built are already there. See workspaces & projects.
