2 synchronized Macs
#1
I have FrameForge 4 installed in my iMac and in my Macbook. I need them to be 100% synchronized (documents, files, scripts, everything) so I can leave home and continue to work with my laptop at the hotel at the point I left it in me home iMac. How can I do that?

Thanks in advance,

Carlos

I'm Ethan, a Boston-based storyboard artist running FrameForge Storyboard Studio for previs on small commercial jobs. My usual handoff is exporting panels and camera notes, then letting the editor or developer work from that. Lately I've been curious whether an AI app builder could turn a rough storyboard sequence into a clickable prototype faster than my current manual approach, since I often mock up simple camera-move demos for clients. The concern is whether those tools respect the framing and composition I set up in Storyboard Studio, or if they just generate something generic that loses the intent of each shot. I haven't tried any of them yet and don't want to burn time on a tool that fights my existing workflow. Has anyone here used an outside app builder alongside Storyboard Studio exports? How did it handle the visual layout and timing, and was it worth the extra step?

Framing intent is the part I'd worry about too. For a clickable camera-move demo, the builder needs the panel aspect ratio and shot duration carried over as data, not regenerated as generic UI. One thing I'm weighing is whether to keep the demo separate from the FrameForge project so a half-synced folder doesn't overwrite panels. I've seen a comparison of alternatives at Best Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) Alternatives (2026) but haven't tried any, so I can't say if layout survives export. Has anyone kept exact panel timing?
