Allow for drawing outside of the frame, especially in notes area

Feedback

Typically the area outside the frame is used for text notes, of course, but also for diagrams and details to augment the storyboard. This is one advantage printed storyboards have over video storyboards, and the reason that we still use printed storyboards in Japanese animation.

I see that your UI allows for drawing outside the frame (that’s a good start), and this even makes it onto the final PDF. This functionality should be extended to allow the user to draw further outside the frame or, for that matter, reposition the frame within a larger canvas.

I have attached a typical printed page illustrating some of the details that end up out of frame.

It would also be nice to allow for a user-specified logo in the corner of each page.

    Thanks, this is very useful. One idea we could explore: let Script View's per-frame note area switch between text and drawing. That way your off-frame sketches and annotations would live with the frame and export with it, covering drawing beyond the box. I'll add your suggestion to the board so other users can vote on it too. Many thanks for the feedback.
