With the purchase of an edition of StoryLiner, you will have access to all the maintenance and new feature releases up to the next major version. And there will be a great bunch of improvements coming before version 2 😉

StoryLiner V2.0 will be treated as a separate product, and you will need to purchase it again. However, a discount will be available if you already own StoryLiner V1.x.

Also note that, due to major changes with Grease Pencil in Blender 4.3, a significant part of the code of StoryLiner needs to be rewritten. StoryLiner V2 will then not be compatible anymore with previous versions of Blender (4.2, 4.1, 3.6).

The answer is definitely yes ! StoryLiner is designed and written by a professional, for professionals.

StoryLiner is based on Ubisoft Shot Manager, a tool that was developed by Ubisoft for the Rabbids Invasion TV series in 2020. It was open-sourced, all along with some other add-ons such as Mixer. At the time, I did an article on how we used it during the pre-production phase, titled Blender and the Rabbids.

Since then, the add-on received a loooot of improvements, such as a storyboard and a 2.5D drawing modules, a render queue, a toolbar... and a a myriad of very useful small tools!

StoryLiner was initially made to be used very early in production. It now can support your sequences up to the step where you decide to break them into separated shot files.

Just pick the upper edition and purchase it the usual way. The form will propose you to pay only for the difference between this edition and the one you already have.

The latest released version for all the editions is V 1.1.33.
This version was released on 14th, September 2024.

An overview of the editions as well as their differences is presented in details here: StoryLiner Editions.
