SG is almost an editor. If we could have still images/single images play for in screening room for a duration, cut order, cut info in general then we have a great storyboarding system!

Go one further, annotations are quick drawing tools that could be used to actually draw storyboards in SG. It could at least give a director a quick way to get an idea across in a sequence.

  Hi Jason,

  Those are some great ideas--it certainly feels like we're close! For this one:

  Would the goal be to allow you to receive notes on individual boards from the director? If that's the case, I wonder if you could do this:

  1. Pull your images into something like Final Cut and build timings for each shot.
  2. Render out each clip, then drag the media into a new Playlist in the Media app for your Shotgun project
  3. Assemble the Versions in the order they were in Final Cut
  4. Playback the Playlist (click the play button on the composite thumbnail of the Playlist in the Media app)
  5. Director adds notes and annotations, which automatically link up to each shot.

  For this one:

  We're a little further away because we bake out annotations as still iamges--but I could see a future where we let you playback a series of Versions with their annotations on top.

  It'd be cool to see where you take this. Keep us posted!
