Storyboard Pro Industry Leading Features

Toon Boom’s legendary drawing engine, capable of seamless work in vector and bitmap simultaneously, Storyboard Pro will allow you to push the bound- aries of creativity. Sketching or drafting has never been so responsive with the Brush tool which has been developed to feel as close to a real brush as possible. Set up advanced brush attributes, add textures to your vector lines and see them update while drawing, modify your lines as you see fit or convert bitmap lines to vector (also works the other way around!) with or without textures… the world is your oyster!

If accuracy is your thing then make use of Storyboard Pro’s rich library of rulers, guides and grids. Work in Isometric view for Gaming production or create a fisheye view of your shot, set up proportion grids for perfect compositions or, if you need to view your work from a new angle, simply mirror your workspace.

Create complex images with multiple layers while making use of texture shading, transparency and overlays. With Storyboard Pro you will be able to work efficiently and take your boards to new heights.

From the ground up, Storyboard Pro has a full 3D environment built in which you can activate at any time. All your layers can be manipulated on
all 3-axis at the same time allowing you to create immersive worlds. Storyboard Pro’s camera can be placed or animated either by framing your panel on 2-axis at a time or by converting it to a 3D camera. Parallax issues are things of the past!

Time your camera animation on one or extend its movement over multiple panels, Storyboard Pro will always help you convey the desired action.

As you are creating your boards, Storyboard Pro is automatically laying your panels in sequence on a timeline. This is the basis for your animatic, a video version of your storyboard. From there, adjust the timing of your scenes, add transitions, time your camera animation and even animate each layer of a panel to create easier, more compelling movements for your story.

The Storyboard Pro timeline will be familiar to the most demanding video editors, allowing you to edit multiple video and audio tracks, adjust durations with the “ripple subsequent panels” on or off, reposition your in/out points dynamically or cut/insert portions of your edit.

Export your animatic in multiple formats, in parts or as a single rendered video. Storyboard Pro will now allow you to export to Apple® ProResTM boosting full compatibility with the most demanding industry requirements.

Apple® ProResTM codecs provide an unparalleled combination of multistream, real-time editing performance, impressive image quality, and reduced storage rates. All Apple® ProResTM codecs support all frame sizes (including SD, HD, 2K,

4K, and 5K) at full resolution.as guide your drawings with rulers and perspective guides.

No animatic would be complete without the addition of sound. Add as many soundtracks
as you want to from the most commonly used formats. Record your own temp track if needed directly from Storyboard Pro’s timeline. Link any audio clip to your storyboard panels so that you never lose sync or lock background sounds grounding them throughout the editing process.

Do your mixing directly in Storyboard Pro by adjusting audio levels for multiple or individual clips, dynamically adding keyframes all the while monitoring Audio Levels to avoid clipping. To give your sounds more personality, open up the Effect Stack view and add a variety of effects. If this is still not enough, Storyboard Pro lets you export your entire sequence as a merged or individual track in a variety of formats and quality.

We know how creatively demanding projects can be, that’s why Storyboard Pro is built from the ground up in a fully 3D environment allowing you, not only to manipulate 2D planes on multiple axes, but also import 3D assets, incorporate them to your panels and animate them as you would any other layer. Bring in FBX, OBJ or Alembic files, access sub-nodes, add keyframes to any individual 3D asset and animate the 3D camera. With Storyboard Pro, watch your animatic come to life, whether your project is a 3D, 2D, live action, gaming or hybrid production.
