Storyboard Pro 20 has multiple improvements to its export options. This includes bitmap exports, transparency, export to Harmony and more. Below is a detailed list of export improvements made in Storyboard Pro 20.

Name Description

Export Bitmaps with Custom Resolution

New options have been added to the resolution list in the Export to Bitmap dialog that allows exporting at twice the project resolution or using a custom resolution, without having to change the project resolution.
Bitmap Export with transparent background The "Transparent Background" option now works for TGA and PNG image formats when using the Export > Bitmap command. In previous versions, this option was only available when exporting to PSD files.
Movies with transparent background A new "Transparent Background" option is now available when exporting movies using a codec which supports alpha channel. On macOS, this option is greyed out if the selected QuickTime codec does not support an alpha channel. On Windows, the options cannot be greyed out automatically. A codec supporting an alpha channel with the depth set to Millions or Colors+ must be selected. This option is available in both Movie and EDL/AAF/XML exports.
Harmony Export Content of video tracks are now exported as layers in Harmony when exporting to Harmony using the Original Scene export type.
Align Left most Camera Frame in PDF export

A new option "Align Left Most Camera Frame" is now available on the Panels tab of the PDF profile dialog.

When a storyboard panel contains a camera motion, selecting this option will align the left most camera keyframe with the panel frames in the exported PDF. The artwork and camera movement will spread over the caption columns and to the other rows depending on the range of camera movement.

This new alignment option works best when using the options in one of the three Japanese PDF profiles.
