Importing Scripts

T-SBFND-006-001

A complete storyboard is not only made of drawings, but also dialogue, actions, and valuable indications. In Storyboard Pro, you can easily import a script into your storyboard project to help edit captions.

If your script is in .txt or .rtf file format, you can import it into the Script caption field.

If a script was created with Final Draft, importing it into Storyboard Pro should be your next step. While importing your Final Draft script, you will retain the rich text formatting.

NOTE: If you are working with Final Draft 8, Storyboard Pro can directly import the *.fdx project file. If you are working with Final Draft 7 and earlier, you must export your project from Final Draft as an *.xml first, so you can import it in Storyboard Pro.
