1Where the manuals differ

Only Runway has a page on changing one shot or scene, getting the video out and sharing for viewing or review. Both document starting from a script or prompt, keeping characters the same, breaking a story into scenes or shots and voices and dialogue.

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