Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Toon Boom Storyboard Pro is desktop software for creating storyboards and animatics across animation, live action, games and other visual productions. It is aimed at storyboard artists, directors, independent storytellers, agencies, videographers, production teams and professional studios. The workspace combines bitmap and vector drawing, thumbnailing, panel creation, captions, notes, annotations, camera controls and scene layout. Support for Windows and macOS makes it a fit for desktop-based production teams.
The feature depth is strongest in the transition from panels to timed animatics. Users can work in a 2D and 3D camera environment, import 3D assets with USD support, capture live timing, and edit audio with effects, transitions and unlimited sound tracks. Exports include PDF, QuickTime Movie, H.264/MPEG-4, Windows Media Video, PSD, TGA, JPG/JPEG, PNG, CSV, EDL, AAF, XML, Harmony and FBX. Integrations with Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer and Apple Final Cut Pro 7 extend its place in established production workflows.
Pricing is structured around the full Storyboard Pro product at $90 per month or $776 per year, with a 14-day trial available. A student option costs $11 per month or $90 per year and includes student pricing, bitmap and vector drawing tools, animatic editing and sound. There is no free plan. Storyboard Pro suits professionals who need drawing, layout, timing, audio and production exports in one application. Teams seeking a lightweight storyboard tool, a browser-based workflow or a lower-cost entry point should consider alternatives.
