(Los Gatos, CA, April 25, 2006) StoryBoard Artist's 4.2 Universal Binary version is all about speed: quick to start, fast to learn, results in rapid previz. Starting the digital workflow quickly and breezing into production is the goal of most media creators.
StoryBoard Artist 4.2 advances and enhances the ability of rapid previsualization which is an essential part of the creative work flow in video, film, games and all digital storytelling.
"Storyboarding has become a critical part of the digital workflow now that computer graphics have become such a large part of today's filmmaking. Whether its enhancing live action sequences, creating animations or developing games, composited images and rendered sequences require that you 'see it before you CG it.' " said Paul Clatworthy, CTO PowerProduction Software.
PowerProduction Software has supported the Macintosh filmmaking community for over 10 years. The new version for Intel-based Macs includes enhancements that continue to work well within laptop environments making it easy for first and second unit directors to visualize and pitch shots while on the set. The new speed of Intel-Macs allows the product roadmap of StoryBoard Artist to branch out even further. New Export formats include Export to Avid NLE, Apple Final Cut Pro's XML and Adobe Flash. The Final Cut Pro export supports an open, standards-based XML format. The use of this open data format allows StoryBoard Artist data to be opened directly in Final Cut Pro as unique elements (frame images and sound files) saving time and money in the editing process.
Another new feature includes colorizable vector art. The new characters add another level of customization for rapid storyboarding. Changes can be made to the color of hair, skin, clothing and then saved for use throughout projects.
