Storyboard panels

A Storyboard panel is a fixed-size drawing panel. Draw a shot in the frame, set its size and background, and fill in the shot info beneath it. Lay several out side by side and you have a storyboard.

Create a panel

Right-click an empty spot ▸ Add ▸ Storyboard…, then choose a size and background color. The dialog is pre-filled from your defaults, set under Settings: default width, height, background, and how many info columns each panel shows.

A panel has a fixed size, so it won’t reflow as you sketch.

Edit mode (I)

Select a single panel and press I to enter edit mode. The panel gets a banner and keyboard focus. While editing:

Shift + ← / Shift + → jump to the previous / next panel in reading order.
Shift + ↑ / Shift + ↓ jump to the nearest panel in the row above / below.
Shift + Enter or Esc exits edit mode.
I (panel still selected) toggles edit mode off too.

Draw in a panel

In edit mode, draw directly inside the frame with the drawing tools. See Drawing & annotation.

Layers

Edit mode shows a floating Layers panel. Create named layers (Sketch, Ink, Notes) and new strokes land on the active layer. Each layer has its own visibility and opacity, layers can be locked, and dragging rows reorders them (top of the list is the top layer).

Add and duplicate panels

Spawn a sibling (Alt + =): adds the next numbered panel beside the current one, matching its size and style. Hold Shift to name it as you create it.
Duplicate with drawings (F3): copies the selected panel including its ink.

Panel info (F2)

Each panel carries metadata in a strip along the bottom: a title plus one or more info columns (shot number, action, notes). Press F2 on a selected panel to edit the title and column text. The column count is set in Settings and applies to all panels.

Build a storyboard

Drop several panels on the board and arrange them into rows. Because panels are fixed size, a row reads as an even storyboard strip. Each panel saves into the board.
