Animated Elements in Storyboards

This is regarding my first storyboard, after a few practices I've managed to do the intro which wasn't too hard since it mainly just consisted of fading in and out from black to white and etc.

Though my question is, how do people get animated elements (i.e. gifs) in their storyboard to play when SB is turned on? Or is it already set in motion once you press play in the editor? This is mainly because I was looking for a way to get some form of rain (red) to play in the bg while lyrics are shown down below

You can use Loop command to loop over rain sprite. Loop command has defined startTime and it can set to end after n-th times or it can be looped forever. Here is example of map that use rain particle on loop:

Our Stolen Theory - United (L.A.O.S Remix)

//Example of single rain particle start at 3687 ms and looped 850 times
Sprite,Foreground,Centre,"SB\rain.png",320,240
 L,3687,850
  S,0,0,,1
  R,0,0,,-0.4
  M,0,0,391,705,-50,930,500
 F,0,3687,12000,0,0.5
 F,0,15692,22549,0.5,0.15

I recommend to use particle generator in tool like storybrew

Awesome, just a quick question though...

Is there perhaps a tutorial of some sort to learn how to use storybrew, cause I'm not very experienced in storyboarding in general
