You can export your storyboard as a PDF, an image sequence, a video animatic, or a single-frame snapshot.

PDF Export

Open Page View, choose a layout from the center toolbar, then tap the PDF button:

  • 15 frames per page β€” compact overview layout

  • 6 frames per page β€” larger storyboard frames

  • 3 frames with notes β€” includes the notes typed in Script View

  • E-konte β€” the Japanese animation storyboard layout, with cut number, picture, action/dialogue, and time columns

In the export modal, you can set:

  • Scope β€” export this scene only or all scenes in one PDF

  • Paper size β€” A4 or US Letter

  • Header β€” none, or project & scene names

  • Date β€” export date, a custom date, or none

  • Timings β€” print shot timings

  • Page total β€” show the total page count

Tap Create PDF to generate the file.

Exports from Focus Mode

Tap the Export button in the Focus Mode top toolbar, then choose:

  • Video animatic β€” exports the scene as an .mp4 video, using your shot timings and the project frame rate

  • Image sequence β€” exports all frames in the active scene as numbered JPGs inside a ZIP file. Frame names use your shot numbers, including linked-frame letters such as 12A, 12B, and 12C

  • Snapshot β€” exports the current frame as a single JPG

For each, choose one of three styles:

  • Clean Frame β€” the frame content without the guide overlay

  • Full Frame β€” the full board tile as it appears inside ShotGlide, with the guide visible

  • Guide Crop β€” only the area inside the guide

Tap Create to generate the file.
