Bria expands pro-creative AI platform with Toon Boom integrations and creative tool partnerships
Good news for animators and studios: the gap between concept and final shot just got smaller. Bria's pro-creative AI now plugs into Toon Boom pipelines, with new partnerships across leading creative tools to smooth the handoff from ideas to production-ready assets.
The goal is simple-speed without losing control. You keep your style, your pipeline, and your standards. The AI handles the grunt work so your team spends time on choices that matter.
What this means for creatives
- Faster pre-production: generate look frames, boards, and variations that align with your show bible and export cleanly into Toon Boom projects.
- Consistent style: reusable prompts and palettes keep shots aligned across episodes, teams, and vendors.
- Cleaner handoff: scene structure, layer naming, and resolution presets map to your Harmony or Storyboard Pro conventions.
- Tighter iteration loops: update a shot, re-export, and compare versions without breaking the timeline.
Toon Boom-friendly integration, in practice
Most teams need asset fidelity, not just pretty frames. Expect exports that respect panel/shot structure, keep foreground/background separation, and preserve character layers where possible for rigging and tweaks inside Toon Boom Harmony and Storyboard Pro.
- Template-aligned exports (scene, shot, panel) to drop into existing projects.
- Layer- and vector-aware outputs where supported, so cleanup is faster.
- Palette, aspect ratio, and frame rate presets that match your production.
- Metadata for shot IDs, versioning, and approvals to track changes.
How to put it to work this week
- Codify your look: collect 10-20 gold-standard frames and notes on palette, line weight, and composition.
- Build prompts from your style rules: character poses, lighting, camera angle, and mood.
- Generate concept frames per key scene, then select the top 2-3 per beat for review.
- Export via the Toon Boom integration; verify scene setup, layer names, and safe areas.
- Lock your style pack (prompts + palettes + sample frames) and share with the team.
Quality and IP guardrails
Set clear rules before assets hit production. Use rights-safe sources, keep an approval trail, and require human sign-off for character on-model checks and brand use. Store prompts, seeds, and export settings with each shot for future revisions and audits.
Team workflow checklist
- Owner: who writes and maintains the prompt library and style pack.
- File hygiene: naming, folder structure, palette files, and version IDs.
- Review cadence: checkpoints at concept, board, layout, and final.
- Fallback plan: define manual fixes when AI output misses the mark.
Why the partnerships matter
Creative work lives across tools-design suites, story, animation, asset management. Partnerships reduce friction at those seams. Less conversion, fewer broken layers, and more time back for acting choices, timing, and story clarity.
