Storyboard Pro Features

Story Flow
Go from script to storyboard in one seamless framework that allows you to visually organize the story as it unfolds – with precise timing. Reorder panels, shots and scenes by clicking and dragging. Add comments, record audio notes and make changes on the fly.

Drawing & Sketching Tools
Draw in any style using bitmap and vector drawing tools with access to multiple brushes and textures. Rotating canvas provides a better drawing experience. Onion skinning gives context of previous and next panels. Use text tool for titling.
-
Built-in Camera
Create movement with the built-in 3D camera with thru-the-lens view. Set start and end positions across panels to add camera moves that pan, zoom and roll in 2D or 3D space. Easily see camera safe areas (4:3 and widescreen).

Add 3D
Import 3D models from FBX, Alembic, Collada, OBJ, 3DS. Mix 2D and 3D in a 3D space where assets interact the way you expect. Position layers and 3D models anywhere you want. Animate layers and add movement with a 3D camera.
