## Introducing Toon Boom Storyboard

# What Is Storyboard?

Toon Boom Storyboard lets you take an idea and transform it into a visual story that will become a complete production, whether animated or live-action. Developed in conjunction with expert storyboard artists, Toon Boom Storyboard speeds up production planning and enables studios to reach new heights with increased production integration. Its advanced features make it the tool of choice when creating an entirely digital storyboard. It truly completes the production pipeline.

Storyboard's easy-to-use and intuitive interface means that you will be performing basic operations almost immediately (create or import a drawing, add or delete panels) and more complex procedures within the shortest time. Reading through this documentation will provide you with the knowledge to get the most out of the product.

Storyboard supports the use of a pen and tablet (such as the Wacom Cintiq) allowing you to work with little or no keyboard use.
