BoardMaster Storyboard and Timing Software is designed specifically
for the development of storyboards. With BoardMaster you can create or import
images directly into the software, organize and arrange them, add text, and
print a full color high quality professional looking presentation of your story.
Add sound to each image and run your story as a full screen animatic complete
with zooming and panning. Using video out on your video card, record straight to
VHS or PAL. BoardMaster also produces timing summaries. You can export your
storyboard to HTML pages for posting on the Internet or corporate Intranet for
all to access. BoardMaster can export your board to an AVI file, plus much more,
see details below.
Image Builder - BoardMaster
has an image builder built right in. You can
select a background, add chacters and props and add your finished image to the
storyboard.
500+ MB Clip Art
- Comes with 100's of pieces of clipart right on the CD. Clipart includes real
life backgrounds, characters, and props. Also includes a folder of clipart for
prototyping software interfaces. See our sample props and backgrounds.
Exports to AVI - BoardMaster will export your storyboard complete with
sound to an AVI file. You can then give your storyboard to anyone running
Windows!
Supports 4 Aspect Ratios
- Supports U.S. Widescreen, Anamorphic, European, and Academy formats.
Clipart includes backgrounds in each aspect ratio.
Transition Effects Looking for
effects as your board moves from image to image? BoardMaster has hundreds of
transition effects including wips and pushes. Using the checkerboard effect you
can even do dissolves. Play your board full screen, and watch the effects
applied to your images.

Using your favorite image editing software, create your images and export
them to file in your favorite format, images can then be imported into the
software creating a storyboard panel. Add text descriptions, organize and print
your board. Assign the time that each image will be displayed on screen when
played back as an animatic. You can even add multiple images to the project in
one go.
Sound Formats -
Supports both WAV and Midi - You can attach a portion of WAV or Midi file to
individual panels. When your animatic is played the software will play the
appropriate sound for each panel. The time assigned to a panel is displayed on
the storyboard in seconds and feet:frames automatically.
Sound Recording - Records WAV files for
use in the project - WAV files can be recorded right in the software from your
computers microphone and attched to a panel.
TWAIN Support - Import images directly
from most TWAIN compliant scanners or digital cameras - If you are using
photographs or hand drawn artwork, the software can hook into most TWAIN
devices. This allows you to create a panel directly from a device like a flat
bed scanner without leaving the software. Other devices like digital cameras may
be TWAIN compliant and may work with the software as well.
Text Search - Comes with a text search
to locate specific text within your project - When working with larger
storyboards the text search can become a vital tool. Simply enter some text and
the software will find panel comments that match your text description.
Image Quality - Make image adjustments
directly in the software with over 20 image effects like Swirl, Crop, Despeckle,
Diffuse, Dilate, Emboss and more!- Need to make minor image modifications like
contrast or cropping? Do it right in the software without going out to your
image editor. (Functionality works on limited file formats)
Scene Search - Alows quick navigation
through the project by jumping across the project to a specific scene number -
simply type in the number of a scene and your there!
Script - Attach a script to the project
for quick reference at any time from any scene - BoardMaster even remembers what
part of your script is associated with each panel and will return to that part
of the script the next time the script is viewed. The script can be editted from
BoardMaster. Often our users will copy text from their script and paste the text
in the comment fields on the storyboard saving typing.
Timing Summary - Automatically creates
a summary of the time allocated for each scene -
as you assign display times to your images, BoardMaster automatically keeps a
tally in the background. At any time you can view or print a time summary of
your board showing the scene numbering, how long each panel will be displayed
for, and the total time of the board. The timing sheet captions are fully
configurable.
Animatics -
Runs full screen animatics complete with rudimentary zooming and panning - The
jewel of BoardMasters' capabilities is the animatic. One you have your board set
up you can sit back and play it full screen. You can even add zooming, panning
and delays to the images. A board may look good on paper, but displaying the
animatic brings it to life and gives a great indication of how your final
product will look. Make timing adjustments, rearrange panels and re run your
animatic in an instant. What could be better than an animatic on a laptop for
proof of concept?
Export to Web
Pages - Exports storyboard and images directly to HTML pages for the
Internet or Intranet - Do a large number of people need to reference the board?
Simply export you project to web pages, and place them on a corporate intranet
for all to access! See a sample of an exported page.
Project Export
- Allows you to transfer your project to other BoardMaster users - The project
export will copy all the images, sound files, the script, and board information
into one directory on your system. With the contents of this directory you can
copy to floppy, CD, ZIP drive, or zip it for internet transport. The reciver can
then open the project with a copy of BoardMaster and have the complete board.
Some of our customers have replaced the sending of a printed board by courier,
with sending it via the interent and BoardMaster.
Printing - Print the storyboard, timing
summary and timing sheets in landscape or portrait, black and white or color - a
great idea can be made or lost when the storyboard is presented to prospective
clients. Having a printed professional looking board with clean comments will
greatly improve your boards acceptance.
Fonts
- Select the font style and color for the storyboard text - Have the font
reflect the style and mood of your story.
Frame Rates - BoardMaster works at all
frame rates or you can work in milliseconds. You can select to work in
milliseconds in the software, or choose to work entirely in frames if you are in
the film industry.
Sample Project
- Comes with a complete sample project done by a professional Story Board Artist.
Minimum Requirements - Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, or higher; 32 RAM (larger projects or projects using high resolution images may require better)
- Output from BoardMaster direct to VHS or PAL. If you have a sound card with
Video out, you can run BoardMaster and output your animatic direct to film using
your TV and VCR. Simply run video out to your TV, run the BoardMaster animatic
full screen, and record!
