Does anyone use any apps to digitally build storyboards for animated projects? and if so which apps seem to be the most popular?

Thanks in advance,

~dave

I use AfterEffects usually. But I do product animations usually, and those tend to be less ten minutes, and rarely over 5.

The reason for that, is I’m going to end up there anyway. And this allows me to put parts of the storyboard into corresponding compositions. When the frames get rendered I can use the same composition and just drop them in place.

I’ve been edging towards powerpoint more recently. Good for annotating slides quickly and reorder on the fly.

I had not thought of PP but then again I tend to avoid anything MS Office lol. I was looking for something I could easily add/delete and reorder pages and sketch on as well on my iPad.
