Flix 6.2 - now released with Storyboard Pro

Following the Avid Media Composer integration earlier in July, this release adds the much anticipated Storyboard Pro support enabling productions with a more streamlined workflow for artists. Collaboration, visibility, and flexibility across teams are supported by other new features such as Panel Comments and Smart Panel Reuse, and a much improved Premiere automation. 

What’s new in Flix 6.2:

• Storyboard Pro Automation: boards created in Storyboard Pro are now a part of the Flix ecosystem, so Storyboard Pro users can enjoy the full Flix experience: file management, editorial round-tripping and collaboration which lets everyone in production have visibility over story development.
• Panel Comments allows users to write feedback, thoughts and notes on individual boards in a sequence. Any comments written on a panel are flagged, so artists can see at a glance which boards require attention.
• Smart Panel Reuse. Flix now knows whether a specific file has ever been imported in the past, and will reuse the existing panel instead of creating a new one. Artists can enjoy greater flexibility when working offline and a more fluid workflow as unchanged panels won’t get re-imported into Flix, but instead efficiently reused.

Brice Banel, Flix Product Manager, Foundry,  comments:

“We believe artists should never be forced to use software that hinders their creativity. This release welcomes Storyboard Pro users to the Flix ecosystem, where they’ll benefit from a more streamlined collaboration with others in the production, even if they’re in another part of the world!  Along with the long-awaited Comments feature, this release is another major milestone towards making Flix the perfect package for story development.”
