Storyboard Pro exports each animatic scene to a Harmony scene of the same length with its panels and soundtrack portion, either as rendered reference frames or as editable drawings, 3D objects, images, videos and camera moves; transitions are dropped and markers carry time, duration and note. Storyboarder writes an ffconcat list with each board's duration in seconds, listing the last board twice for ffmpeg. Curator qualifications: Pages and documents read 2026-10-22; no animatic built. Limitations: Pages and documents read 2026-10-22; no animatic built. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
