Storyboard Docker For Krita

A storyboard is a graphic organizer that consists of illustrations and comments displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing and planning of motion picture and animation.

Introduction

The storyboard docker aims to facilitate storyboarding in Krita. It allows multiple images and associated text to be organized in the form of a storyboard. The arrangement can be tweaked using the mode and view options. Also different field's visibility can be toggled. The storyboard can be rendered as pdf or svg.

Upper buttons

The buttons are :

Export : A drop down menu which consists of the export option available for the storyboard.

Comment : A drop down menu which consists of a list of comments for storyboard items, a Delete Comment button and an Add Comment button.

Lock : A lock icon. It is used to stop adding item when keyframes are added in the Timeline docker.

Arrange : A properties icon. It consists of View and Mode options which can be used to change the arrangement of items in the docker.

Storyboard Item

A Storyboard Item corresponds to a single panel in the storyboard. You can edit fields such as name, duration and comments. You can select the active item. You can add and delete storyboard items before or after any item. You can change the order of items using Drag and Drop.

Components of the storyboard item :

Frame Number : This shows the frame number for this item in the timeline docker. This field is uneditable.

Name : The item name, just do double- mouseleft to make it editable, and press the Enter key to finish editing.

Duration in second : A spin-box. This will set the duration of the storyboard item in seconds.
