Storyboarder vs. Prolost Boardo

Storyboarder was developed because the specific tool we envisioned was absent from the existing market. Daily, we commit ourselves to improving its features and functionalities. We are excited to provide it as a free and open-source resource, encouraging users to share their enhancements and suggestions. Just like the animation industry has seamlessly woven storyboarding and pitches into its narrative crafting, we believe that this method can also be adapted to benefit various other storytelling forms. Your insights are crucial to our mission, and we look forward to understanding how we can take Storyboarder to even greater levels of excellence. The tool is packed with features: a light pencil for fluid sketching, a hard pencil for detailed lines, a pen suited for most drawing tasks, a brush for creating shades, a note pen for jotting down annotations, and an eraser for making corrections. The user experience is designed to be smooth; you can simply add a board and begin your drawings without any hassle. Elements can be duplicated, copied, pasted, and rearranged effortlessly, allowing for a dynamic workflow. Each board can have metadata assigned through the right panel, where users can also enter timing specifics and shot classifications. Start creating your initial sketches and layouts directly in Storyboarder, and if you require more precision, you can easily switch to Photoshop with a single click. Every aspect of this tool is crafted to amplify your creative journey and simplify the art of storytelling, making it more inclusive for everyone involved. We are excited to see the innovative ways in which you will utilize Storyboarder in your projects.

Improve the production efficiency of animated storyboards, commonly referred to as board-o-matic, in Adobe After Effects by integrating three unique presets: Prolost Boardo, Prolost Oscillate, and Prolost Fader. This innovative tool enables effortless animation of essential camera movements such as panning, tilting, zooming, and dutching without requiring keyframes, thereby streamlining the workflow. The animation refreshes automatically when changes are made to the layer's duration, further enhancing efficiency. Users can utilize Layer Markers to precisely set the start and stop points for camera actions, making the process even more user-friendly. Add dynamic camera shake effects to your storyboards by choosing from a variety of lifelike motions or by customizing your own settings. You have the option to use any images for your storyboards or create them directly on your iPad with available free templates. The timeline feature allows for automatic cross-dissolves between shots through overlapping layers, which significantly improves visual transitions. Prolost Oscillate offers an automated solution for animating opacity during transitions between drawings, while Prolost Fader makes it easier to navigate between frames for basic animations. Users also have the ability to modify the intensity of the Camera Shake throughout the shot’s duration, adding an engaging layer of movement to their presentations. This all-encompassing approach not only simplifies the animation process but also enhances the overall storytelling experience, making it more captivating for the audience. With these powerful tools and features, creators can bring their narratives to life with greater ease and creativity.
