Question

Storyboarding App?

Hello,

I create cinema projects including music and animation.
Film music is a primary focus.
Regular scriptwriting software doesn’t cut it for me because I want to be able to hear how the film music fits with a scene and see the animation.
That’s why storyboarding software is preferable for me.
My question is do you have an Adobe storyboarding software app to recommend that would include the ability to add music and animation to the storyboard?  Photoshop  Artboard and Indesign have been recommended as possibilities.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations.  Thanks!

    I've been reviewing a number of softwares.  The thing I keep running into is my interest in having a storyboard software where I can import a variety of media - not just still images.  Most storyboard software enables the user to create static images that will later be recreated on a film set with real people.  That's not what I'm doing.  I'm doing live action animation with film music and want to include all of this media, much of it being used in the final product - as is - in the sotryboard.  In that sense, perhaps it's not a traditional storyboard.  I started out experimenting with Photoshop ArtBoard and now I'm finding myself going back to it.  I find it somwhat cumbersome to work with, but it does seem to get the job done and meet my own perhaps unique requirements.  Plus I've been using ArtBoard as an Asset Manager - organizing all the media in one location - which is an important step in the storyboarding process.  Thanks for your replies!

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
