About Storyboarder

Storyboarder is a tool for visualizing stories by drawing storyboard panels quickly. Users can sketch scenes to test whether an idea works, then play the boards back as an animatic to share with others. The homepage says it can start from a blank storyboard or open a Fountain screenplay, and that boards can be flipped through, played back, and changed.

It uses a deliberately simple set of tools: four brush types, adjustable brush sizes, and five guide overlays. Drawings can be sent to Photoshop for more polished editing, and changes are returned to Storyboarder. The project states that it has no layers, by design. Pricing is not stated in the source.
