Would love to have layers! The ability to move layers around, keep layers when duplicating shots. Would be a massive feature when drawing! Only need to have max 4-5 layers per shot. Thank You
Thank you - I agree that drawing layers would be useful, but they’re outside the scope of ShotGlide.
Every part of ShotGlide is built around fast, flexible storyboarding. Editable per-frame drawing layers would require a different architecture, with separate storage, undo, transforms, export, and rendering behavior for each layer. That added complexity would move ShotGlide closer to a full drawing app and work against the speed and reliability of the storyboard workflow.
I realize that’s not the same as editable drawing layers, but you can use an imported image as a background underneath your drawing for reference images or layouts.
Thanks again for your feedback.

You make a good point! I never thought about it like that. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it!
