About the new features

Storyboard Pro 27 adds five new features for workflow: 
 

Clipping Masks in PSD Imports:

  • Photoshop files import with clipping masks preserved. 
  • Layers and masks remain individually editable, not flattened.
     

Blending Modes in PSD Imports:

  • 24 Photoshop blending modes are preserved and converted to non-destructive, editable layer effects. 
  • Background paintwork and lighting passes import with accurate appearance.
     

Panel Timer:

  • Capture panel timing live by tapping while acting out the board. 
  • Create panels on the fly or apply recorded timing to an existing selection. 
  • Optional audio capture for scratch dialogue.
     

Reference view Mirror tool:

  • Flip any reference drawing horizontally in one click. 
  • No changes to the source file and no duplicate files to maintain.
     

Export to Harmony - Single Operation:

  • One export can now produce both the rendered animatic and the original vector artwork.
  • No double export, no manual assembly between departments.
