Time: 3–5 minutes to choose a starting workspace.
Choose by what you need to deliver next. Do not choose only by the illustration style: a manga style can be used in more than one workflow.
| Choose | Best when your next deliverable is | Check before starting |
|---|---|---|
| Comic Studio | Multi-panel comic pages, comic strips, dialogue-led visual stories, or a complete comic draft | Page layout, recurring characters, dialogue, and export needs |
| Manga Editor | Manga-focused page editing and panel work | Reading direction, black-and-white or color style, panel structure |
| Webtoon workflow | A vertical-scroll story intended for phone reading | Long-canvas pacing, episode length, and publishing platform limits |
| Storyboard | Shot planning for film, animation, advertising, or production handoff | Scene order, camera shots, action, timing, and spreadsheet needs |
| Video or Animation | A playable motion deliverable rather than a static page | Duration, aspect ratio, audio, captions, and source image quality |
A quick decision sequence
- If collaborators need camera and shot instructions before final art, start with Storyboard.
- If readers will scroll vertically on a phone, start with the Webtoon workflow.
- If the final work is a paged or strip-based visual story, start with Comic Studio.
- If detailed manga page editing is the main task, start with Manga Editor.
- If motion is the immediate deliverable, start with Video or Animation. Keep the source comic or storyboard if you still need editorial approval.
Questions that prevent rework
- Is the final canvas paged, horizontal, square, vertical-scroll, or video?
- Does the project require reusable characters across many scenes?
- Will another person need shot notes, prompts, or a screenplay?
- Is the first review about story structure, finished artwork, or motion?
- Which file format must be delivered?
If you chose the wrong workspace
Keep the existing project as a reference. Export any useful story, screenplay, image, or prompt material that the current workspace provides, then create the new project in the correct workspace. Do not assume every property transfers automatically between products.
