Transcript

Once your client signs off, mark the storyboard approved. On Home or in any project, switch to Board view, and each status gets its own column. Drag your storyboard into Approved. It saves straight away, and Activity keeps the change, with your name and the date.

Then open the storyboard and click Export. For a document built around your frames, choose PDF, or Slides for a deck in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides. Images gives you every frame as a ZIP.

Cutting the animatic in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve? Download an XML timeline, with your frame timings and soundtrack already in place. There's an After Effects export option too. Boords emails you a link when it's ready.

That's your storyboard, signed off and ready to move into production.
