StoryboardsOpen the storyboard of a scene
Switch between scenes and other storyboards, and start a scene's storyboard by adding its first panel.
Before you start
- The project has a screenplay with scenes.
Steps
Click the Scene or storyboard list under the header and pick a scene.
The picker shows scene numbers and headings, for example Scene 1: EXT. RAYAPURAM BUS STAND - DAY. A scene marked review has changed in the script since you planned it. The panels of that scene's storyboard appear below, and the tag shows how many there are.
Pick a scene that has no storyboard yet, such as Scene 3.
The tag says 0 panels and the page says Create panels for this scene. You do not need to make a storyboard first. Adding the first panel creates the scene's storyboard for you.
Click Import Image, Draw / Sketch or Empty Panel, or use Add Panel at the top right.
Each choice adds a first panel and the storyboard is created with it. Adding panels is explained in Add panels to a storyboard.
What you get
You are looking at the storyboard of the scene you chose.
Watch out for
- If a scene was removed from the script, its storyboards move to a Removed from script group in the picker. A banner says the scene was removed and its panels are kept for reference. They are hidden from active planning.
- When a scene changed after you planned it, a banner says Scene N changed since planning. Your panels are kept. Check them against the script, then click Mark reviewed.
