- Welcome to the essential training for the Storyboard Pro software. I'm Mark Simon. I'm not only a trainer but I also use this software in production every day. I own Animatics and Storyboards, Inc., a large storyboard company on the east coast. I've been in the industry for almost 30 years and have nearly 4,000 production credits and I use Storyboard Pro on all my storyboard gigs. In this course, we'll be covering everything you need to know to work proficiently in Storyboard Pro.
We will cover setting up your files, the drawing tools, secrets to creating real time animatics, moving cameras and layers, best ways to work with audio, how to easily track your changes, and anything else that'll save you time as you storyboard on commercials, features, games, or TV shows. So let's get boarding.
