NEW FEATURES
Smaller Project Files
Reduce scene load times and long file transfers with smaller project files in Storyboard Pro and Harmony 25. This quality-of-life improvement to Storyboard Pro and Harmony was made possible by both optimizing the structure of and compressing complex project files. Additionally, both Storyboard Pro and Harmony 25 have an option to save a project as a compact file structure, ideal for collaborating remotely with artists and studios.

Universal Scene Description Compatibility
Originally created by Pixar, Universal Scene Description (USD) is an open standard for transferring 3D scene data along a CGI production pipeline. Harmony Premium 25 supports importing 3D models in the USDZ format, as well as importing and exporting animation data and camera movements. This update significantly expands flexibility for new pipeline integrations.

Import Photoshop Brushes
Draw with the same brushes in your storyboards and animation that were used in visual development. Storyboard Pro, Harmony Advanced, and Harmony Premium 25 can directly import Photoshop ABR brushes, allowing artists to expand their brush libraries. ABR brushes can either be imported as vector and bitmap brushes, and can also be used as erasers.

Pencil Line Retouch Tool
Improving on drawing tools in Storyboard Pro and Harmony, artists can now adjust the opacity and thickness of existing pencil lines by drawing over with the Pencil Line Retouch Tool in Storyboard Pro, Harmony Advanced and Harmony Premium 25. This allows pencil lines to more accurately mimic natural media while remaining versatile and adjustable throughout the ink & paint process.

Lock Timeline Ruler
Avoid accidentally adjusting the timing of finished scenes while scrubbing through your project by using the Lock Timeline Ruler command in Harmony 25. Scene markers will appear dark to show they are locked and scene duration will not be adjustable in the timeline until Lock Timeline Ruler is toggled off.

Breakdown Pose Assistant
Fine-tune your rigged character animation and other keyframed objects in Harmony Premium 25 using the Breakdown Pose Assistant. As the most natural breakdown between two key poses is often not halfway between two keyframes, the Breakdown Pose Assistant allows animators to adjust which keyframe a specific breakdown favours. This tool is highly customizable and can even be used to assist with antic and overshoot poses.
