I\u2019m excited to let you all know that Wacom and Toonboom have gotten together for a Cintiq Pro \/ Storyboard Pro 22 bundle!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to take you through the basics of what you need to know to get started with Storyboard Pro on your new Wacom Cintiq Pro.<\/p>\n<h2>The top features of Storyboard Pro 22<\/h2>\n<p>The primary feature of Storyboard pro is that you can create drawings and animatics in the same software! There are four main aspects of the software that make this process smooth and intuitive.<\/p>\n<h3>Vector drawing<\/h3>\n<p>The main area you\u2019ll be working is The Stage. This is where you\u2019re going to be doing most of your drawing. Storyboard Pro is special, in that you\u2019re using vector based tools instead of bitmap or resolution-based tools. So you can do a drawing and manipulate it in a bunch of different ways; you can stretch it or make it larger without losing any kind of resolution. You can cut it or erase part of it and move it around.<\/p>\n<h3>Thumbnail view for creating a storyboard<\/h3>\n<p>Each of these drawings in the vector are will go into a panel below. There, we have the timeline. There a couple different views you can use; there\u2019s the timeline proper and then there\u2019s the thumbnail view. In the thumbnail view, you can see drawing by drawing. You can draw multiple images, put each on an panel, and then build them into your storyboard. And if you go into the timeline view, you can start making an animatic.<\/p>\n<h3>Timeline view for turning it into an animatic<\/h3>\n<p>The timeline view puts each drawing to time, that you can then edit to display for a certain amount of time or for a certain number of frames. With the vector input, it\u2019s also very easy to make minor adjustments to different panels to add gestures or other emotional cues. All of this together creates a high-quality animatic, timed perfectly, to support voice acting, directing, and other aspects of the animation process.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-808984\" src=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/03\/Untitled-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Mike Morris Toonboom Screenshot\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/03\/Untitled-2-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/03\/Untitled-2-1-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/03\/Untitled-2-1-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Exporting to various formats<\/h3>\n<p>Your new animatic, or just the still panels of your storyboard, can be exported into nearly every kind of format. You can export as bitmap file \u2014 maybe you wanted to create a digital flip book for your portfolio website. You can export to a movie file, for a smooth animatic. You can even export to a PDF for someone to print out and look at physically. The versatility and malleability of export formats is really fantastic in Storyboard Pro.<\/p>\n<h3>Next video: tips and tricks!<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to learn more about storyboarding, keep coming back to this blog \u2014 I\u2019ll have another video coming up soon that goes over a bunch of tips and tricks for getting the most out of the software and your Cintiq Pro.
