This is INCREDIBLY helpful omg -- this was 4 straight minutes of me going "There's an easy way to do that???" THANK YOU!!!! This absolutely saved the program for me!!!!!!!

All tutorials need to be like this....

Time to get story board pro just to use these tips!

I’m taking a storybaording class this semester and we’re gonna be using this program, thank you in advance for saving me Pain

Same like it's so good at describing the techniques funly

I found this 3 years later BUT OH MY GOODNESS YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH. Literally saving so much time and effort with your tips

I have my head in my hands. I had no idea that auto-matte was a thing and was wondering why there wasn't an easy way to color things in stb pro. thank you for the great tips!

I have two big boarding jobs coming up and this just saved my life, thank you so much!!

Hmmmm Toasty Tips must be a series now and I’m for it

This is the tutorial I’m looking for! Toon boom puts a lot of effort to build the software but they need to do more videos like this to tell the users!

OMG I HAD GIVEN UP ON STORYBOARDER YOU HAVE GIVEN ME BACK MY HOPE THANK YOU

please never take this down!! i go back to this all the time - thank you for my life for these tips :')

Damn this makes me respect how FLUID your animation is EVEN MORE

For a long time working as a revisionist I’ve seen boarders being careless with layer name consistency and blaming that to lack of time. Now I am a storyboarder and I can safely affirm those excuses were pure bullshit. It is perfectly possible to work while keeping the layers organized. Actually, it is essential. Anyone who works on the same file further on will be thankful.

GOD I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE COPY PASTE LAYER THING this is great thank you

This is literally the one tutorial that got my attention haha. Thank u for making this!

THANK YOU! finally a good tutorial i can understand

That motion tween tip will save me so much trouble from now on. Thank you so muchhh

This is absolutely fantastic and exactly what I've been looking for. Hope there'll be a part-two someday!

Just saved my life presently and many times in the future, thanks.

And yes this is very useful! I actually might want to become a concept /storyboard artist but right now I'm trying out everything in art I can get a hold of and listing the ones I enjoy the most to keep my options open

Thank you so much! :D I've been trying really hard to get into stp, but not having a good work flow yet is really making it hard for me. So these are good things to know

STORYBOARD PRO IS MY ENEMY FIGHT ME

I don't even use story board pro but just got a new tablet recently and atleast learned that I can customize hot keys :'D

u're a beast

I've been using Storyboard Pro since High School and I didn't know about Advanced Copy/Paste and Auto-Matte until now. I'm about to graduate college. 😖

I love you........

For everyone on windows: It'll be shift+crtl instead of shift+command!

I have toom boom essentials, is it worth the money to switch to storyboard pro rather than finding a new program?? I feel very limited in essentials but it’s expensive as you well know haha

@EmptyFeet

So, Harmony Essentials is an animation program, while Toon Boom Storyboard Pro is for boards! Typically they're supposed to work together--doing boards in SBP and animation in Harmony--so I don't know why you'd switch from one to the other? Unless you've been boarding in Harmony, in which case I can definitely say SBP is preferable for that haha

ToastyGlow ah sorry I just saw this! Thank you for replying- I think I got storyboard confused with harmony advanced! So never mind haha this question is unrelated to this vid

How do you make a key frame animation go faster but take the same amount of time to play out? So like I need a car to get from point a to point b but it’s going to slowly

Sooo, I just got story board pro, but when I wanted to draw on empty layers, it wouldn't register and the eyes just wouldn't open. Do you know what I should do?

oh no!

auto matte.... where have you been all my life

So do you no longer use photoshop to make your storyboards? Also, do you use harmony as well?

@EmptyFeet

3 жыл бұрын

yeah, no more photoshop! I think the last thing I made with that was actually the Church animatic, and it was such a pain in the butt...for such big projects, it's so much better working in SBP! I do also have Harmony, but if I'm being honest, I prefer Clip Studio Paint for animation and just, like...art generally. Photoshop is a garbage fire comparatively on both fronts. >.>

Hey do you know how to turn up volume when adding sound clips?

@EmptyFeet

3 жыл бұрын

yeah! so, if you look at the sound clip in the timeline, there's a line running through the middle of the soundwaves. if you hold down the option key (that's on mac, but I'm sure if you have a PC you can find the equivalent with a little experimentation) and click the line, it'll create a node that you can drag up and down to change the volume! you can also add multiple nodes to create, like...volume keyframes, so if you need something to fade out you can add one at full volume and another at mute. hope that helps!

@@EmptyFeet thank you is there also away to speed up the frame rate so the panels look more animated?

@EmptyFeet

3 жыл бұрын

@@dandeelion8777 okay, so, this is a little hard to explain, but storyboard pro files (and most professional animations) already automatically play at 24 fps, meaning that if I make a panel that lasts half a second, it holds for twelve frames. it's not a matter of "speeding up the frame rate", just of drawing more panels that last less time (which is all animation is anyway).

this is so nice. u are so nice. how do u exist--

Uh please more tutorials?

that's the only storyboard pro there is! :>. also, re: your other comment, I believe it's industry standard, but it's also pretty easy to pick up on the job, so it's not a problem to start with a cheaper program if that's more convenient for you

@@EmptyFeetThank you for confirming! I use flipa clip right now, which is great for beginner's in basic movement and the free music recording part since I'm very influenced in my ideas by music, but its lacking the more advanced tools I could use. Like the character adjustment across all frames? I so could use that cuz I'm still a crappy planner. And the, (what you call it... Tweening?) Would be very useful for backgrounds in animation/oc memes. I have a little bit of my animation I'm working on up on my Instagram but I work so slow that its gonna be awhile before its finished haha
