Storyboard Tab

The Storyboard tab displays information about the storyboard project such as duration and total number of shots, panels and transitions.

The Storyboard tab is also the location where you can enter textual information about your overall storyboard project. By default, you can use the Script field that is displayed in the tab, but you can also use the commands in the Captions menu to add fields and customize your caption titles. If you have a TXT file including storyboard information stored on your computer, you can load it into a field.
