Tiered list structure for storyboard numbering.

Feedback

Each panel should have:

SCENE

SHOT

PANEL

numbers, like a tiered list, expressed as

SCENE / SHOT / PANEL

Rather than just “shot.” There are a few important reasons for this. THe most important, for storyboarding purposes, is that some “shots” in a film will undoubtedly require more than one panel to describe. Also, if one is attempting to board an entire feature, for example, or even a sequence consisting of multiple scenes, this degree of organization is essential. Add to that the ability to lock any/all storyboard numbering or assign one’s own numbers, and you’ve got a real system!

    Thanks for your feedback. I think what you’re describing is quite close to how ShotGlide is structured, just presented differently.

    Scene: listed in the sidebar. Long-form projects can be split into as many scenes as you need.


    Shot: the main number shown on each frame, assigned by board order.


    Panel: linked frames. When one shot needs several panels to describe it, just tap “Continue” in any frame menu. This groups two or more panels into one shot, so they move together, share the same shot number and get letters per panel such as 12A, 12B, 12C.


    Because you can only work in one scene at a time, repeating the scene number on every frame could easily add clutter. The project name and active scene are displayed in the center of the top toolbar, so the hierarchy stays visible without adding extra labels to every panel.


    Let me know if that helps and if that covers the workflow you had in mind.

      Ah yes. This seems like we are talking about more or less the same thing. Thank you.
