Tips and Tricks
Pro Tip 1: Color Coding
Use node colors to organize your storyboard by scene type:
- Red = Action scenes
- Blue = Dialogue scenes
- Green = Establishing shots
- Yellow = Key plot moments
Pro Tip 2: Beat Shelf Workflow
Park alternate versions in the shelf instead of deleting them. You can easily pull them back if you change your mind.
Pro Tip 3: Export for Review
Use the PDF 2-Up layout for production team reviews—it gives a good balance of detail and overview.
