It’s main features include very basic drawing tools (I don’t think I’m being unfair to compare their early offerings to something visually akin to MS Paint), fairly robust formatting options, and a fairly flexible user interface.

So Storyboard Pro is basically the only player in this game, currently. Other applications exist, most are free, and most are rather hideous-looking and offer no drawing tools. I’ll take a second, if you are not familiar, to introduce Storyboard Pro- to my knowledge the only serious program to attempt to tackle the unique challenges of storyboarding. You might be thinking “Don’t most drawing programs use or at least offer bitmap drawing capabilities anyway? Bit maps are just pixels, right?” You’d be right to assume that, and this feature is long overdue. The email touts the many new features, the most significant of which are the new “bitmap drawing” tools. I was working onsite yesterday and got an email notification from Toon Boom announcing their new update to the successful and highly-lauded application, Storyboard Pro, now in version 4.
