1Where the manuals differ

Only HeyGen has a page on getting the video out. Both document starting from a script or prompt, keeping characters the same, voices and dialogue and sharing for viewing or review. Neither has a page on breaking a story into scenes or shots or changing one shot or scene.

For a project that moves between the two, the steps one leaves out are where the other's pages are worth reading first.
