IMPORTANT

If your studio uses a license server, you will need to upgrade your license server to Storyboard Pro 20.1 or Harmony 21.1.

Even though licenses from Storyboard Pro 20 can be used to run Storyboard Pro 20.1, the server running the license server needs to be upgraded to Storyboard Pro 20.1 to support client workstations running Storyboard Pro 20.1.  License from servers using earlier versions of Storyboard Pro  cannot be used to run Storyboard Pro 20.1.

 

Here is the list of changes in Storyboard Pro 20.1. build 21.1.0.18395 (2022-05-04):

 

Feature Description
Apple silicon support

The macOS version of Storyboard Pro is now compiled as a Universal 2 binary that runs natively on either Intel processor and ARM64-based Apple silicon Macs.

Retina and HiPDI screen support

Retina and HiDPI screens are now fully supported. The content of the Stage and Camera views are now displayed at each screen’s native resolution.
