Springboard is a fast, light, easy-to-use Windows application for easily and quickly sketching and annotating storyboards for film, video, animation, or other dynamic media.
What does it do?
Springboard helps you organize and plan your story visually.
If you've never made a storyboard before: Storyboarding helps you see what your movie will look like before you shoot. This saves you time and lets you explore more options before you commit your choices to film.
If you've made storyboards on paper: Springboard preserves the simplicity of pencil and paper, plus all the flexibility and power of digital media: perfect erasing, copy-and-paste, easy backups, overlays, sound and timing, exporting directly to video and the Web, and much more.
If you've used other storyboard software: Springboard has a fluid, direct, professionally-designed interface that keeps you focused on what you're doing. Its feature list is long and growing longer. And it's free to try.
Springboard has been used for:
Homegrown video projects
Animated shorts
Feature films
Multimedia presentations
Theatre set design
Comics
and more.
Changes in Six Mile Creek Systems Springboard 1.01:
- Replaced the licensing system; old license keys are incompatible with the new version, so an upgrade is required. Calendar expiration date on the free trial version is now replaced by a 30-day trial period starting from the installation date.
Bugs fixed:
Ease types "None" and "In And Out" for Zoom Frames were swapped in the user interface (though the underlying implementation was correct - so this fix will not change existing animations' playback).
Layers palette, frame indicator, and Movie view are out of sync after dragging the third node in the Story Tree to the second position.
Use Shell Play on newly-exported AVI files, if available; otherwise, Shell Open. Used to use Shell Open, and fail if there was no Open verb registered for. AVI (even if Play was registered).
Issues that arise when you fumble the buttons on a pen: Disallow context menus while drawing, and handle the double-click messages correctly when you press a pen button that's assigned to click or double-click while drawing.
