Springboard will help you to sketch storyboard ideas for video, animation, film or other media. Springboard helps you organize and plan your story visually.
If you've never made a storyboard before: Storyboarding helps you see what your movie will look like before you shoot. This saves you time and lets you explore more options before you commit your choices to film.
If you've made storyboards on paper, Springboard preserves the simplicity of pencil and paper, plus all the flexibility and power of digital media: perfect erasing, copy-and-paste, easy backups, overlays, exporting directly to video and the Web, and much more.
If you've used other storyboard software: Springboard has a fluid, direct, professionally-designed interface that keeps you focused on what you're doing. Its feature list is long and growing longer. And it's free to try.

· Support audio playback while recording timing in the Movie View. Sound clips attached to the story root play normally. Sound clips attached to frames have their beginnings cut off while recording timing, because of the audio buffer latency. Reduced the audio buffer size to mitigate this. If that in turn causes problems, experienced users can change the Registry setting at HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareSix Mile Creek SystemsSpringboardMainAudioPlayer_BufferLength to 500 to get the old buffer size.
· Display a visual representation of opacity in the Swatch Box above the Opacity slider when the Move Layer tool is selected.
