Is it awesome? No. Is it better than hand sketching? Hell yeah!
Is it a great program? Nope. Is it kind of buggy? Yep. Does it save time and look great? Yep!
I really hate how there arent many options to change anything. Re-sizing things are a pain. You cant copy a sketch or even a shot so that you can paste it later in the sequence (like in a back and forth dialogue). I wish that adding text to things werent such a pain. Also, there is no way to really share the darn thing outside of printing a PDF, which is fine, but I mean, when I go to the export menu, there is only one shaded out option (Export as a movie). Also, who the heck wants to share a storyboard as a movie?
Theres a myriad of problems (or additional features) that should have came with the program. Its really a: Heres a bunch of blank things, put stuff on it, and move it around. If Powerpoint had a better library of characters and props, itd probably be even better. Oh yeah, you cant change the angle on any of the props…so you have to be creative.
Anyways, its worth the 20 bucks, but definitely not a single penny more. In fact, maybe its only worth $19.99. And Im being nice about it.
