Action scene storyboard generator for Final Cut Pro

Overview

The Action Storyboard Plugin is a Final Cut Pro generator for storyboarding and planning action scenes before you shoot.

It is like Final Cut Pro's placeholder generator, but built for action: choose a subject and background, set its size, speed and direction, and adjust the ground.

Show notes and scene and shot text on screen, so the storyboard doubles as a shot list while you plan your edit.

Use it as a pre-production tool to work out your shots and scenes in the timeline.

Features

Generator: drop it into your timeline like any placeholder.
Subject and background: choose what is in the shot.
Speed, direction and size: set how the subject moves.
Adjust Ground: line up the ground in the frame.
Notes and scene/shot text: label each shot.
Pre-production planning: plan shots and scenes before you shoot.

How to use

In the Generators browser, find Action Storyboard (show the sidebar if it is hidden).
Drag it into your timeline where you plan a shot.
