Print directly ​

If you're heading to a meeting and want a paper copy of your storyboard, you don't need to generate a PDF first. StoryFolder can send the storyboard (or just the script) directly to your printer.

How do I print a storyboard? ​

  1. Open the editor for the project you want to print.
  2. Choose what should be on the page — toggle field visibility and visual effects to match what you want printed.
  3. Press Cmd+P (Mac) or Ctrl+P (Windows).
  4. StoryFolder opens a print preview formatted for 8.5" × 11" paper.
  5. Pick your printer and click Print.

If you'd rather have a file, pick Save as PDF in the print dialog — or use the PDF export for the same result.

How do I print just the script? ​

If your project has a transcript:

  1. Open the workflow menu and choose Print Script.
  2. StoryFolder opens a print preview of just the spoken dialogue.
  3. Pick your printer and click Print.

What does the printed page look like? ​

  • Storyboard print — two columns of shots per page with thumbnail, timecode, duration, and any visible notes.
  • Script print — single-column dialogue with timecodes.

Will my visual effects (B&W, contrast) apply? ​

Yes — your editor's current settings are reflected in the print preview.

Can I control how many shots per page? ​

Page layout is fixed at the moment. If you need finer control, export to PDF and edit the PDF in your favorite tool.

What about my favorites and filters? ​

  • Hidden shots are excluded.
  • An active search query narrows the print to matching shots.
  • Favorites are not auto-filtered. Turn on the favorites toggle if you want only favorites.

Tip: a cleaner printed page ​

For a tidier printed storyboard:

  1. Hide note fields you don't need on the page.
  2. Turn on Black & White to save ink.
  3. Use the editor's zoom to set thumbnails to medium before printing.
