These scripts are intended to simplify your workflow in Toon Boom Storyboard Pro and eliminate redundancies. These scripts were coded using Storyboard Pro 20.1. There are no plans to update them for future versions, so if you’re using them with a later version and there is an issue, please keep that in mind. If you would like to update them yourself or know someone who can, you’re free to do so!

For instructions on how to install the scripts and their custom icons, please download this document.

DELETE HIDDEN AND EMPTY LAYERS

Select the panels you wish to automatically remove any layers that are turned off/hidden, do not contain any drawings, or both. Demo available on YouTube.

GROUP AND MERGE

Select multiple layers to convert them into groups, which will be merged into one layer and organized based on layer placement.

KILL ALL MATTES

Searches out any layer created using the Auto Matte feature and removes it across the selected panels.

LAYER REORDERER

Select multiple panels with identically named layers, and move them up or down across the selection.

MARK FIRST FRAME

Adds a marker at the first frame of every panel in timeline mode. Useful for production purposes.

MASS RENAME LAYERS

Select multiple panels and rename the layers you choose so they’re consistent across your selection. Demo available on YouTube.

PASTE ABOVE OR UNDER LAYER

Similar to “Paste Layer Special” function but allows the user to paste exactly where they want to in the layer order. Demo available on YouTube.
Note: This will not replace layers with the same name. Any layer with the same name that already exists will result in the pasted layer creating a dupe name for itself.

PASTE CYCLE ACROSS PANELS

Select a looping drawing cycle and paste it across all select panels. Cycling images alternate each panel. Layers will need to be renamed afterwards if you want consistency. Demo available on YouTube.

SET AND RESET CAPTIONS

Simplifies captioning process. Allows user to edit multiple captions at once across a selection of panels, as well as erase captions. Demo available on YouTube.

SPREAD LAYERS TO PANELS

Takes layers on one panel and creates new panels for each layer. User can select foreground and background elements to be used on each panel. Good for users who like to create all acting poses on one panel first. Demo available on YouTube.

TOGGLE ONION LAYERS

Automatically toggles the onion skin blocker based on panel and layer selection.
