GliaStory Client guide (short)

Updated 2026-11-04 · app.gliastory.com

The basics

GliaStory is GliaCloud's ad film service. The AI suggests directions and draws the storyboard; once the storyboard is settled you see the price and delivery date, and after you order, the production team makes the film. Go to app.gliastory.com.

Stage	What you do	Cost
Explore	Add your materials and pick one of three directions	Free
Storyboard	Check and edit each frame	Free
Confirm	Check the quote and delivery date, then order	Charged only when you order
Review	Mark changes on the first draft, then approve	Included in the order
Final	Download the film, or add other sizes and languages	Extra versions charged separately

Not sure where to start? Open “Samples” in the sidebar to see every stage of a real project, the finished film and its price (view only).

Sign up and Home

Open the invite link your GliaCloud sales representative sent you and sign up with your email address.
The first time you sign in, enter your company details (phone number required). Your account is active straight away.

Home: the welcome bar, weekly orders and completions, projects that need attention, recent projects — Home, after you sign in.

“New video”: start a new project.
“Weekly orders and completions”: how many of your ordered films are “Not started”, “In production” or “Client reviewing”, and how many were ordered and completed each week.
“N projects need attention”: projects waiting for you. Each card says the next step (for example “Quote ready for your review”); click it to go to that stage.
“Recent projects”: projects changed most recently. “View all” goes to the “Projects” page.
The sidebar also has “Samples”, “Assets”, “Team” and “Billing”; the bell icon is notifications.

Start a project

Start a video storyboard: the input box and two settings buttons — What you see after clicking “New video”.

You have materials: paste a product URL or some text, or drop in files, choose the audience and format, and click “Start”. Three directions arrive in a minute or two.
You have a storyboard: click “I have a storyboard”, paste a link or upload a PDF or images, and click “Read storyboard”. Check what was read and go straight to Storyboard.
No time to prepare: click “Hand it to GliaCloud”, describe what you want and click “Hand it over”. The storyboard service is free and includes up to 2 rounds of changes.

Explore: pick a direction

The “Brief summary” at the top is what the AI read from your materials. Open it with “View full brief” and correct anything wrong under “Your requests”.
Click “Direction A”, “Direction B” and “Direction C” to compare their four sample frames and performance readiness (a check of production best practices, not a performance forecast).
To redo one image, use “Edit” on the image. If the whole direction is off, change your requests and click “Rethink the directions with these”.
When you've decided, click “Create the storyboard for Direction A”, then “Use this direction”.

Once you choose, you can't switch directions. To try another one, start a new project.

Storyboard: edit until it's right

Hover over a frame and click “Edit”. Click on the image, write what to change and click “Apply these notes”; or rewrite it under “Content” on the left and click “Redraw from this”. Every version is kept, so you can always go back.
Drag cards to reorder them, use “−” and “+” to change a frame's length, and add a frame between any two.
If you'd rather not edit it yourself, click “Have us draw it”. It's free and includes up to 2 rounds of changes.
When it's right, click “Approve storyboard and get quote”. You can still come back and edit after seeing the quote.

Confirm: check the quote and order

Production details & quote — On the right: the total including tax, when the first draft is due, and the rounds of changes included.

“First draft by …” is when the first draft arrives, not the final film. In a hurry? Turn on “Rush delivery”.
“Download quote” saves it as a PDF.
Click “Place order”, then “Place this order”. Nothing is charged when you order: the amount goes on that month's bill, which closes at month end and is invoiced the next month.
Members without admin rights see “Ask an admin to approve”; the order is sent once a team admin approves it.

After you order, the storyboard can't be edited. Leave a note on Review for anything you want changed.

Review: watch the draft and ask for changes

You're notified when the first draft arrives. Move the timeline to the spot to change and use “Note at this moment” to write a note.
Watch the whole film, then click “Send revision request” once all your notes are in.
When the next version arrives, mark each note “Fixed” or “Not fixed”. Notes not fixed carry over to the next round.
When you're happy, click “Approve Version N”.

Everything sent at once counts as one round of changes. Approval can't be undone; the project closes.

Final: download the film

Film delivered — The Final page after approval.

Under “Download the film”, click “Download”, or use “Share the film” to send it to others.
For another version, choose an option under “Make more from this film” and click “See the quote”. The storyboard and edit are reused.

Extra version	Price (share of the original film's price)
Change the aspect ratio	50%
Change the subtitle language	20%
Change the voiceover and subtitle language	35%
