Adding Panels

When you start a storyboard, you have one blank panel to get you started. You can add subsequent panels to the storyboard at any location in the timeline.

To add a panel to a shot:

1. In the Panel View or Timeline View, select the panel that will appear before the panel you want to add to the storyboard.

2. Do one of the following:

Select Storyboard > Add Panel.

From the Storyboard Toolbar, click the Add Panel button.

Use the [P] shortcut.

A new panel is created within the current shot, positioned immediately after the panel you selected. If the panel is added after an unconnected panel, the two panels will be joined together to form a shot. All panels in the same shot are grouped by a dark gray bounding box.

To add a new panel and create a new shot:

1. In the Panel View or Timeline View, select the shot that will appear before the panel you want to add to the storyboard.

2. Do one of the following:

Select Storyboard > Add Shot.

From the Storyboard Toolbar, click the Add Shot button.

A new panel is created immediately after the current shot. If the panel is added after an unconnected panel, the two panels will remain disconnected (that is, two shots with one panel each).
