Luma and Storyboarder.ai help docs, step by step
Luma's docs have a page on six of the seven steps and Storyboarder.ai's on five; the two are documented differently on four: starting from a script or prompt, changing one shot or scene, getting the video out and sharing for viewing or review.

1Where the manuals differ
Only Luma has a page on sharing for viewing or review. Both document starting from a script or prompt, keeping characters the same, breaking a story into scenes or shots, changing one shot or scene and getting the video out. Neither has a page on voices or dialogue.
The difference is in what each help centre was written for, not necessarily in what each tool can do.
