Editing Artwork on Multiple Panels

T-SBFND-008-016

You may want to re-size, reposition, hide, or delete a piece of artwork appearing in multiple panels. Rather than going into each panel to modify each version of the same artwork individually, Storyboard Pro allows you to modify artwork across multiple panels altogether if they appear on the same layer.

  1. In the Thumbnails or Timeline view, select the first panel in the sequence containing the artwork you want to modify. In this panel, select all the layers you wish to modify.

  2. Hold Ctrl + Shift or ⌘ + Shift to activate a multiselection, and select the last panel in the sequence containing the artwork.

    All the layers and panels containing the artwork will now be selected.

    3. NOTE Please make sure the layers containing the artwork have the same name in each panel.

  1. Activate the Select tool in the Tools toolbar.
  2. Use the Marquee tool to create a box around the artwork to be modified. All the artwork in the selected layers will appear together in the same panel for editing.
    3. NOTE Please be sure that you are not holding Ctrl + Shift or ⌘ + Shift when performing this action. Otherwise, all the background elements will highlight.
    TIP It is recommended that you turn on Onion Skin when performing this action. This way, you will be able to see where the artwork is on the other panels. See Enabling the Onion Skin.
  3. Use the Marquee box to re-size, move, or delete your artwork.

The change you made is applied to all the selected panels.
