I might even be finishing a script in the lovely Celtx Scripts mobile app, which I then can sync over to Shots and start storyboarding right away. The obvious scenario of how I’ll use it is if I’m working with an idea away from my desktop. Even though this app is no game changer for my storyboarding workflow, it will provide me with some extra mileage. (This one is for the Scripts app as well). And then there is the… lack of Dropbox support! Could some Celtx iOS Developer check this out? Pretty pretty please with sugar on top.See above, Dropbox support would make this operation a breeze. You can import from Celtx sync, but then you can’t export it back to desktop Celtx via sync, but have to go via iTunes.That would be extremely useful for me to be able to add them to the clip art library. I have a few custom items and characters that I’m going to use for many storyboards. This one goes for the desktop app as well. Possibility to add your own clip art for sketching.I’d like to be able to keep sending a storyboard back and forth between desktop and mobile. Ability to reorganize the order of storyboard frames by simply dragging them around.Here is a few things that me personally would love to see in a future update. It’s a definitely a good and useful app, but it could be even better. It turned out to not being the easiest thing in the world. I have a few other personal iPad projects coming, so it was a nice exercise in getting a somewhat decent recording quality of a screen. I recorded a quick walk-through video of Celtx Shots. It would be cool to try it out some day though. On the other hand, as I’m working with animation, I use drawn storyboards and don’t need that feature in my line of work. As I’m using the first generation of iPads I don’t have a camera in mine, so I couldn’t test that one. Which makes it very easy to quickly build up something being on location on a live feature. One neat feature, is that you can capture photos directly with the built-in iPad camera to the storyboard. So if you have used the desktop version before you should quickly be quite comfortable working with the mobile app. You can also define the type of shot and write a description. Just like the desktop version you can add storyboard images/photos and make companion sketches to block out the shot to each storyboard frame. That would add a tremendous amount of value and comfort.Īnyway, Shots matches up with how the storyboarding functionality in the desktop app works very well. Why Celtx don’t add Dropbox support to these apps is beyond me. Unlike Scripts, Shots is a one way sync though. So obviously I already have a workflow that I’m comfortable with, but I’m always open to try out new tools and possibly improve my existing routines.Ĭeltx Shots uses Celtx Sync, just like Celtx Scripts to bring the project from the desktop to the mobile device. So I was quite intrigued to learn that Celtx were about to expand their lineup of tools with a storyboarding mobile app as well.Īs I’m an animator, storyboarding is tremendously important to me. It’s a wonderful screenwriting app and its mobile app is top of the line for screenwriting on the go. I’ve had the opportunity to play around a bit with Celtx latest mobile app, Celtx Shots, which will be available in the App Store today, November 10th.įirst of all, Celtx is since long an important piece of the puzzle for my workflow.
