bookabi features a marketplace for characters and content packs. We are always looking for artists (2D or 3D) and content owners able to provide world-class content and material.

We also have interactive book technologies and do OEM versions of our apps.

Storyboards or Bookabi standard license is for a personal use only.

Please contact us for any other use of the content or the output of the app. We’ll be pleased to discuss with you every possibility or crazy idea you might have!

All our apps run on all iPads, except Storyboards 3D that doesn’t run on the iPad 1.

Double-tap the storyboard on the home screen or tap its name.

Please note that the aspect ratio cannot be changed after the storyboard has been created.

The free version of Storyboards is a try-before-you-buy version. This version is limited to 2 storyboards of 10 drawings each and no import functions.

They both share the same library of characters and props.

Once you like this version and want to buy the Premium (full) version (that has no limitations), simply tap the Switch to Premium button from the home screen and go through the in-app purchase.

Since the v1.10 of Storyboards, there is a new option for each layer that controls its focus.
By default, all layers are in focus. To set a layer out of focus:

1- Select that layer (tap the Layers button and tap the layer that you want to select).

2- Tap the arrow button to the right of the drawing title and tap Layer: Edit properties. Then select the level of focus you want for the layer.

3- When you save the properties, nothing happens. It’s when you switch to another layer that the layer is rendered with the out of focus option.

In the Annotations layer, you can use our Assisted Shapes technology to draw arrows and frames around your characters. This will help understand the camera and character movements of your shot.

To use the Assisted Shapes feature, switch to the Annotations layer. Tap the Layers button in the toolbar, select the Annotations layer, then tap the Assisted Shapes button (the Hand icon to the right of the toolbar).

When you tap the button, the screen turns red and waits for your gesture.

If you draw a line, it will transform into an arrow. Use this arrow to indicate motion (shot or character).
If you draw a V, it will transform into a fat arrow. Usually, you’ll use this one to indicate a forward movement.
If you draw a rectangle, it will transform into a frame. The aspect ratio of the frame is the same as the aspect ratio chosen for the storyboard.

Remember, you can always rotate the Assisted Shapes objets using a standard rotate gesture (2-finger rotation) and you can add Text objects to the layer too!

When you select a storyboard and select Export to PDF from the Home screen, the PDF file is saved to the iTunes area, ie. the Documents of Storyboards accessible inside iTunes.

To save them on your computer, start iTunes, select the iPad and the Apps tab. Then select Storyboards, highlight a document and click Save To.

To add a background to a drawing, you need to switch to the Background layer using the Layers popup.

Then, tap the Photo button and navigate to the photo of your choice in the albums stored on your iPad.

Once added to the background, the photo behaves like a regular object: it can be moved, resized or deleted.

When you switch back to a content layer, the background crops automatically to the size of the frame.
