Importing and Exporting

Flix provides the option to import and export content. Importing and exporting content can be used to update panel versions.

Importing new content into Flix is a very important function that provides many people involved in the storyboarding process the ability to contribute to a sequence. Whether they are using other programs to create images, dialogue, or audio files, or want to import files from another Flix sequence or project, you want as much flexibility as possible in the pre-visualization process. Flix allows you to import these files, and version them the same as you would with any other storyboard component.

Imported images or audio files are kept within the Panel Libraries. These imports consist of libraries, which can be panels, animated panels, staging, audio files, or reference files. Import brings new libraries into Flix. You can choose to add these to the sequence or leave them in the Panel Libraries until you are ready to use them. New, copied, or duplicated panels added to the Sequence Editor pane are automatically added into the Panel Libraries as well.

From Flix, you can export different types of contents such as dialogue to a .txt file, audio to an .mp3 or .wav file, sequence to a .mov file, sequence information to a .csv file, or the sequence's panels to .jpg or .psd files.
