Overview

Class notes from Storyboarding for Animation at LA Figurative Art Academy with Pete Michels, Spring 2018.

What's new in Storyboard Pro 6

  • Import video or image sequence as video.
  • Import FinalDraft script, FDX format only.
  • Auto-matte layer fills in line work with solid color so layers underneath don't show through. Layer > Generate Auto-Matte
  • Tool Presets -- A toolbar containing brushes of certain colors that will create new layers when used, e.g. a "Revisions" brush that is a red brush that creates a new layer named "Revisions" when used.

Importing

Importing audio

First make sure that an audio track is selected in the Timeline.

File > Import > select the audio file

Importing sequences

SBP 6 supports importing video or image sequences (which are then treated as video.)

Importing scripts

SBP 6 supports importing Final Draft scripts (.fdx format only).

  • Window > Storyboard to open Storyboard panel if it isn't already open.
  • Storyboard panel, at the top right of the script pane, click the utility dropdown menu > Import Final Draft script

Click and drag the tabs of the panels to rearrange them, e.g. if it's easier to have the Storyboard and Panel panels side-by-side in order to copy and paste dialog from Storyboard to Panel, drag the Storyboard tab until the Storyboard panel undocks and then move it over the right edge of the SBP application window until a blue rectangle appears. Then the Storyboard can be docked to the side of the other panels.

Editing panels

See Storyboard Pro Panel Editing Cookbook

Timeline

See Storyboard Pro Timeline Cookbook

Camera

Pin to Camera

Pin to Camera (not sure where the function is located/controlled) can be used to emulate a heads-up display that tracks camera movement.

Exporting

Controlling which frames to include in PDFs

With a transformation applied to a layer, Storyboard > Add Snapshot. This instructs SBP to export that frame when exporting to PDF. (By default, the first frame in each panel in the timeline is exported.) [1]

Each frame within a panel that has a snapshot will be included as a separate panel in the exported PDF storyboard.

When a snapshot is added to a panel, the first panel will no longer be included in the exported PDF storyboard unless a snapshot is manually added at the first frame of panel.
