Two new layouts for sharing your boards: 6 frames per page for compact overviews, and 3 frames per page with space for written notes, ideal for production handoffs.
Currently, the single biggest obstacle to me and my colleagues using your tool at work (at a major animation studio in Tokyo) is your lack of support for existing printed storyboard formats. Most of our work uses a format like the attached A4 paper template (with different “letterbox” frame markings inset in the 16:9 panels for different aspect ratios). Please consider adding functionality for user defined layouts or supporting a broader range of preset layouts.

Thanks, this is really helpful. A dedicated animation-style preset (shot column, frame, notes, time column, more rows per page) that adapts to your project ratio would be a great addition. I'll add your suggestion to the board so other users can vote on it too.
In the meantime, our current PDF export with 3 frames in a single vertical column plus notes beside them is the closest fit and may cover part of your workflow.
Many thanks for your feedback.

Here’s another example showing the kind of letterbox insets we use for aspect ratio other than 16:9. If we are going out to letter size paper for US clients we just print the PDF to letter size and live with a bit of scaling.
