Description of Canvas Software

Storyboard provides the tools you need to create professional boards/animatics for film, tv, web, etc. Using the custom built Canvas7 drawing engine, Storyboard is able to take advantage of Apple's Metal API to efficiently render drawings on the screen. The process of storyboarding is extremely important in crafting visual stories. With the Storyboard app for the iPad, this part of the storytelling process can be taken on the go. Or, if you'd prefer, you can use Storyboard on a powerful desktop computer. Data: - Create new storyboards using the custom ".storyboarddoc" file format to quickly load and save your projects. - Import and export your Storyboards as files that can be saved to the Files app. - Export to MP4, PDF, and Image Sequence formats. Canvas: - Draw, erase, select, and transform. - Import images from Files, Photo Library, Camera, or Pexels. - Select colors using the HSL based color picker. - Choose from a small set of brushes or create your own using brush dynamics. - Use onion skin to see your previous storyboard panel. Panels and Scenes: - Split up your storyboard into different scenes for better organization. - Each panel maintains its own set of layers on the canvas. - Clear, duplicate, and delete panels by tapping on the currently selected panel. - Make changes to a panel's duration, title, dialogue, and more by using the panel information window. - Create smooth transitions between panels. - Work non-destructively by using Revisions to quickly look at different versions of the same panel.

  • how do I type in the text boxes????

    this for me is good but the only thing i can't do is use the text boxes when i try to type in them it will not let me
  • Crashes constantly

    I know you’re never gonna update this app again but it crashes like crazy. Can’t get a single thing done because it keeps happening and won’t save the changes I’ve made. It’s a shame because the bare bones features here work well for animated storyboarding and no other app has figured that out yet. Please fix it!!!
  • What the heck

    I make a new file for a new animation and it just crashes. Cant even make a new frame like what the heck cant even get a minute in without it crashing. Based off of the other reviews, i know its just not my computer and other people are having this problem too. Bad software. Regret getting.
