Storyboard That: creating and embedding in a blog

By -
Storyboard That is a fine tool for experimenting with the creation of graphic novels or comics. The free version is easy to use, and I was able to go in and use it without any issues, so I bet you could too. You can make 2 storyboards per week with a max of 6 cells each with the free version.

If you want to create an entire graphic novel, you would need to pay.

A few things to note: 

If you download as an image, the image has a Demo watermark, but when embedding, it does not.

   Embedded (scroll to the end of this post to see embedding instructions):


      Downloaded as an image:

The title doesn't show unless you add it to the storyboard. Kind of obvious, but as you can see from my example, I missed it.

Use Copy Cells along the bottom when you start working on a new cell and then edit and delete unwanted details. Follow the on screen instructions at the bottom to make it work.



Click on Edit Pose to get a detailed menu of options


Click on the light blue arrow to get a shortlist

How to embed your Storyboard That into a blog:

You will see the link to embed when you are in view mode. To get to view mode from you account screen, go to My Storyboards

Then click View Larger on the Storyboard you want to embed

At the bottom of the storyboard you will see a menu of choices. Click Embed. 
You will see this box; copy the html code snippet.

Go to your blog post and click on HTML at the top right (next to Compose) 
You will see a sea of html, which will include the text on your page, and the code that tells your page how to appear. To be safe, you can paste your embed code at the top above all of the other code, or you can find the pace to put is by finding the text you want to put it near. Put the code after a </div> or a </b>.

Click back to Compose mode to see how it looks.

What tools do you use for creating storyboards and graphic novels?
