Storypencil

    • Open Blender and go to Edit Menu, Preferences, then Add-ons.

    • Search for Storypencil, and activate the add-on.

    After activating the add-on, it will place buttons on the video sequencer header to control the linked Scenes Strips: Edit, New and Render.

    In the video Sequencer sidebar you will find a Storypencil tab with all the Settings for the add-on.

    With the 2D Animation Template in Draw Mode, you can use the menu located in the 3D Viewport ‣ Draw ‣ Setup Storyboard Session and the add-on will take care to set up all the general settings and create the workspaces and Scenes needed for the storyboard session.

    Use the main buttons on the video sequencer header to add, edit and render Scene Strips.

    Add a new Scene Strip to the active channel based on the Base Scene selected in the add-on settings. The name of the new Scene Strip will use the prefix and suffix stablished on the settings.

    编辑

    Opens the linked source scene under the timeline cursor in the video sequencer. There are two modes for editing source scenes, you can control the behavior by toggling the checkbox “Open in new window” next to the button.

    New Window mode

    Storypencil will open the source scene in a new window keeping their timelines synchronized. When you finish editing the source scene you can close the opened window or keep it opened and control the timeline in the video sequencer to change to another scene.

    This method is best suited when using multiple monitors.

    Switching mode

    Storypencil will open the source scene switching to the proper Workspace at the same video sequencer cursor position. When you finish editing the source scene you can return to the video Sequencer using the Back button on the Dope Sheet header in the source scene Workspace.

    This method is best suited when using only one monitor.

    Important

    There is still a known issue when the Add-on is used together with a scene pinned to a workspace. Synchronization between scenes may fail.

    Render all or only selected scene strips, depending on the Add-on Render Strips settings.
