1Where the manuals differ
Only Runway has a page on voices and dialogue, changing one shot or scene and getting the video out. Both document starting from a script or prompt, keeping characters the same, breaking a story into scenes or shots and sharing for viewing or review.
Runway's manual has a page on every step; the gaps are all on LTX Studio's side.
